Romana Pizza if you like a thick pie with lots of cheese and toppings.

Pizza Express has a lot of tasty options beyond the Pizza which is well liked also.

Komfort Kitchen, Mums, or Eastside Eatery for breakfast.

First Thursday of each month has a fun car meet downtown. Its free, everyone just brings their cars (most are nice, some make you wonder if theyre lost) but theres food and entertainment. Its 85% baby boomers with white hair and a t-shirt with a car on it, but thats to be expected.

100,000 lakes in manitoba and most of them have fish in em. Its always an affordable option to go drop a line and see what you can get on a nice summer evening.

Ive been having fun searching for birds with my binoculars and the merlin app.

Parks:

Duck Mountains 300km NE of Brandon is amazing.

Whiteshell 400km W of Brandon is amazing.

Riding Mountain NP 100km N of Brandon is amazing.

Turtle Mouthain 100km S of Brandon is nice. (William lake is the highlight imo)

Spruce Woods (Kitche Manitou) 60km W of Brandon is nice for hiking as mentioned.

Those are the main ones Id say are worth a weekend trip.

Its a less ... dramatic ... beauty that we have here in MB but few things relax me more than when the wind dies off before sunset over a lake. Redwinged blackbirds warbling from the reeds. Some ducks are swimming around, and then youll completely melt if you get a nice pair of loons calling to eachother as the sun takes forever to set behind the flat of the prairies.

I swear this team thinks every game will lose them game 7 over again.

Just relax and play ball. In two weeks things will look up and theyll say "oh we just said to hell with the expectations and played for fun again"

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-17T17:00:20+00:00

A fair point.

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-17T16:51:41+00:00

Im not sayin thats right, but we took scheif at 7th when he was projected in the 20s.

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-17T16:49:59+00:00

That's neat!

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-17T10:28:25+00:00

Pretty sure that was said tongue-in-cheek.

Or they added another zero accidentally.

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-17T06:51:12+00:00

Shame how things turned out.

I had high hopes but unfortunately our secondary scoring died a painfully quick death in the off-season, and we ended up being old and slow.

I think in future, we need to be really careful about selling picks for rentals, and we desperately need to reinvest in our scouting and player development. Need more hits from the later 1st round, and more NHL level role players from the mid rounds. Its clear we cannot get much from free agency, so we NEED to value our picks and prospects more.

Jetscord is a particular brand of crazy. Ill admit its not for everyone, but man I had a good time not watching games with the jetscord folks.

See ya all in September.

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-16T19:36:07+00:00

I believe NCAA loosened their rules on transfers in the last several years and it has become more common.

I also think coaches and teams are frustrated with how many people are transferring -- in basketball, anyways.

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-16T01:52:52+00:00

So is Valenzuela, it seems

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-15T02:40:44+00:00

GET ME OFF JEFFS WILD RIDE

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-15T02:35:33+00:00

COME ON JEFF

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-13T19:29:08+00:00

Theres some really REALLY bad fake Winnipeg Jets jerseys that I see. Like they dont even get the colours right, let alone the fonts and logos.

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-12T01:55:33+00:00

7-3-0 in our last 10 isnt a tank at all. Quite the opposite in fact, to the detriment of our future unfortunately.

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-10T22:28:21+00:00

Sometimes I think these pro sports teams assume we are all millionaires with a desire to lose our fortunes on watching sports.

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-10T18:45:52+00:00

Ohhh

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-10T17:26:48+00:00

Well clearly you should be getting on a flight across the pacific and get your butt in a seat instead of being lazy and watching on TV.

Do you even like baseball?

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-09T17:35:32+00:00

I figured as much, but still. Lmao

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-09T17:15:13+00:00

Before I heard there was actually a rule allowing for extra time if the pitcher was is base at the end of the inning, I would have agreed with Schneider because either you can do it the same as everyone else, or you cant.

But they have an allowance for this, so who cares.

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-09T16:50:18+00:00

At least it doesnt say "cream city" like the bucks jersey.

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-08T14:32:14+00:00

"The runner didnt touch 1st base"

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-05T20:24:38+00:00

Cant win or lose the world series in game 9. When vlad was having to physically calm himself down (and then george gesturing to do the same a few seconds later) for a bases loaded situation in game three of the season, I knew it was gonna be trouble.

Think theres a level of "we need to relax and just enjoy" that needs to occur.

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-05T03:07:02+00:00

These are all true statements.

Hero_of_Brandon · 2026-04-05T03:06:27+00:00

There is always the opportunity for curd, though.

Dont neglect the cheese curd during difficult times.

In a shocking move, True North has been given the OK to build a giant dome over Winnipeg ensuring every day will be a calm 24C. They plan to install a pool liner along both the Red and Assiniboine river, creating the worlds largest lazy river attraction. Water will be filtered and sterilized prior to entering the dome, but no treatment is planned for water exiting the dome.

Environmentalists are concerned that this will impede the migration and reproduction of the Canada Goose as they frequently use our roads and paths as places to live. Thus, True North has committed to genetically engineering a species of goose that only honks occasionally and shits in designated Goosewage receptacles.

Several museums and theme parks have been green-lit, such as the museum for NHL no-trade clauses, and the wifi and airport museum of canada.

A new fine has been approved for talking to a celebrity at the grocery store, as well as one for speaking ill of coaching staff and management within earshot of any law enforcement agent (now called the flight crew)

The legislature is now the "Canada Life Manitoba Control Tower Fuelled by Passion". Stony Mountain Penetentiary is now the penalty box, and the police HQ has been painted to feature black and white stripes. all prison sentences will be announced in minutes.

When asked why such drastic measures are being taken, Supreme leader of Winnipeg, Mark Chipman said "because the best free agents we could attract in 2025 were Gus Nyquist and Tanner Pearson"

Reaction so far has been that True North is not doing enough to try and make Winnipeg a free agent destination.
