SSAB - July 28, 2026

Ooof, hot outside, but is it anything like Beijing? Not really. It also doesn’t last as long.

Tummy hurts after eating Famous Wok! Am I no longer used to it?

Uniqlo Winnipeg is open, how are the prices? How is it to work there?

Chatr Mobile set up and and easy change… my phones don’t take eSIM.

My apologies about the late posting of yesterday’s episode! I fell asleep as I was trying to choose the album art for the episode. Also wanted to share the Vichnaya Pam’yat song that is sung at the Panakhyda. I’ll put that at the end of yesterday’s episode.

And so how was drive to Dauphin and back?

-lots of mosquitoes!

-ate a lot and saw a lot of people

-the city has changed quite a bit (it’s expanding),

-flood damage in the city was minimal but it hit the hospital,

-couldn’t breath in the hotel because… pollen?

-but it did have a decent selection of weights

-got a run in on Saturday

-Fort Dauphin — why is it even there?

-we saw bison!

-drive back through Manitoba: Riding Mountain National Park

-through Clear Lake, Erikson, Neepawa, Portage la Prairie
