| Wednesday August 9 2023 - RickSF and SFBruce | Visitors in town | |
| RickSF (id 8839) and SFBruce were in town last week-end. It was part of their multi Canadian city visit going from Toronto for the Canadian Wrestlefest, then with a hop to Ottawa and then to Montreal. I was their tour guide for 2 small days. We walked and biked (using electric bikes) to the Old Port, passed beside Habitat 67 (built for the Expo in 1967, Expo 67 was an international and universal exposition, or, in short, a world fair), dashed beside the Osheaga Rock festival on the Concorde Bridge and visited the Jean-Drapeau Park which hosts the Gilles-Villeneuve Formula 1 race. Unfortunately, the track was under maintenance, but we still managed to biked through the small gardens. We then went to Chinatown to eat at Sammi & Soupe Dumpling, which was pretty good. In the evening, we hung out in the village, visited the Campus Strip bar and the bear bar Stud. We also met two of their wrestling friends from San Francisco.   RickSF and SFBruce on the Concorde Bridge The next day, we biked further to the edge of the canal Lachine where the Rene-Levesque park is located and our way back, SFBruce pinpointed a special restaurant called "Le Taklamakan" that specializes in Uyghur cuisine. It was luckily near our bike path. SFBruce explained to me that Chinese restaurants that have Mandarin and Cantonese cuisine are plentiful in San Francisco, but Uyghur cuisine is impossible to find. Nevertheless, we were all thrilled to try this experience with him and we had the opportunity to taste delicious lamb dishes. On the map, that restaurant is denoted by that L-shaped detour we did on our bikes. 😅   I did manage to wrestle both of them a bit... and in the evening, I invited LumberG (id 250) over to tangle with them as well. SFBruce kindly went from submission to light give and take because I did told him to go easy on LumberG. RickSF was able to determine through the tangle that LumberG was safe to wrestle so we had a four way match on the small little bed at their hotel. We were then famished and LumberG suggested that we tried our specialty: Poutine, a dish made of fries, gravy and cheese curds. It's actually overrated, but still a great thing to make tourists try. 😂  Rick asked me why I didn't attend the fest in Toronto to which I explained that I'm still recovering from my shoulder injury and didn't want to make it worse. I did replace both my workstations with standing desks, but it will take some time before I fully recover. It's technically my arrogance, stubbornness, stupidity and my strong desire to rack heavy guys that had gotten me in this much trouble. I just need to be a bit more disciplined and ask people for their weight before racking them and set myself reasonable limits. Here's a shot of RickSF with a triangle head scissor on me :)
And here's a rare shot of LumberG (id 250) getting out-muscled and dominated by SFBruce even though LumberG is a heel at heart. 😂  Both RickSF and SFBruce gracefully suggested that we visit San Francisco, to which we would be more happy to do eventually :) I did give both of them my friendly bear hug before parting ways. We actually had a trip planned the next day to Ottawa to meet with CanWrestle and Kevin_Nova, but LumberG's back was hurting and I was tired. In any case, Kevin_Nova was sick with a throat bug, so we simply went for dinner and had a nice chat with CanWrestle. | ||
