A bunch of things. Well, nothing really

Alright folks,

I'm in Russell Manitoba, watching the Jets vs. Predators. 15248769113866761509461928741377.jpg
Don Cherry's lookin' good as ever.

This was a busy week for me and it ended up with me driving my wife to a conference in Russell MB!

Here's Macklin Saskatchewan, home of the world's largest bunnock! I snapped this photo yesterday on my way through.

"What's a bunnock? And who cares?" I can hear you all asking.

Well, a bunnock is the ankle bone from a horse, namely a Russian war horse. You see there's a game round the Sask-Alberta border called "bones" where you throw horse ankle bones and win if your bone is thrown better or something. It originated in Siberia, and caught on like horse ankles (is that a saying yet?) with the early Slavik settlers in Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Anyway, you sure see some whackadoodle stuff travelling the prairies.

Even though I'm watching hockey on TV in a hotel room by myself, I'm never really alone when my little antelope is with me...

Now tomorrow I can tour the town of Russell MB by myself as my wife will be in conference all day, so maybe I can sniff out some silver and gold in small town Manitoba? Hopefully there's some garage sales and some old lady is selling "Walters coin collection"!

Ciao Bellas

I'd definitely play some bones, hope there's gambling involved or I'm sure there is actually. Here we play quarters, basically everyone throws quarters towards a wall and closest quarter to it that person takes all the quarters. I'm fucking awesome at it too man I clean up! Great game, the Jets look good 👍😎 Hotel bed sex tonite then good luck with the silver search tomorrow

Lol. Yeah we used to play quarters, but you'd be at a table and you had to bounce a quarter off the table into a glass. Then the first person to miss would buy a round of drinks.

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

Best of luck if you decide to go hunting! I hope you are able to find "Walter's Coins".

Hope so. I have no idea if there's garage sales here tomorrow, but it's Saturday and the weather is nice, so maybe?

You need a beer🍺 enjoy brother

Thanks dude🍻

The Jets are taking it to them, man. Hellibuck is straight up robbing the Predators! Oof.

They sure are! It's an old fashioned "givin it to em".

I’m watching the game, too! I’m not a Jets fan, but I’m happy to see Jets fans get rewarded with playoff wins after all these years!

I have that antelope coin in my collection!

Yeah, it was great to have them back after so many years, and nice to see them doing awesome.

Very interesting information and love the pocket silver keeping you company!! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks a ton buddy!!

Good luck to you tomorrow. I hope you hit the nail on the head.

I’mma Jets fan now...Go @teamcanada!

Lol. I'm not a huge hockey fan, but I watch the odd game. I'm cheering for Washington, cause I have them in the SSG hockey pool thing, lol. But it's nice to see something good happen to Winnipeg for a change.
