Winter Olympics

I was good at sports but I don’t try being fast until I’m in front of a pissed off mama cow, I still loose at that sometimes. But I do believe people take sports to seriously, way more in this life matters than chasing a puck or ball.

"Just the town kids had time for sports, I’ve been driving a tractor since I was 6, talk about working for the company store."


I guess it was a riding lawnmower?

Congratulations TSIPP, you have your very own internet stalker. Memorizing and infatuating over every word you've ever posted.

Welcome to a very exclusive club.

It's not just for the Rich and famous anymore.

That foragefarmer is definitely cringe, I’ll be honest just as usual, never drove a garden tractor till I was 28, that’s when I bought my own ranch and I did start out on a ford 7000, sports were played at noon hours at school and also physical education, us kids definitely learned work ethic, not that many years ago dad figured he could get some young guys on the straight and narrow by putting them to work, I told dad you’d wake up on the ground and never see your truck or those kids ever again. Times have changed, I’m not complaining but a little more fun growing up isn’t a bad thing.

Watching para curling at old aged care facility so a slight push to left or right to make the brick puck whatever spin slightly gives it left right bias?

Called curling stone. Counter clockwise spin causes movement left clockwise right. Increasing spin rate keeps stone straighter .

presume you can just push it with no spin stays straight? Is curling a year round thing being indoors or to busy during spring summer

Will always take a turn random. High speed keeps it straight. Winter only. Years gone by main witer activity .

Something about curling. You either understand it completely and get right in to it.
Or like me, it doesn't make any sense to you at all.

Some great young curlers both women and men coming out of your neck of the woods.

Go Team Canada (Manitoba women Einarson, and Manitoba men Dunstone both representing Canada) at the upcoming worlds.

At their level it's a matter of strategy and being able to deal with pressure. Manitoba has always been the most competitive province. Every small town had a curling rink. We had the largest bonspiel. A number of years ago. I curled in a 1000 team event.
