FRIDAY!

Going back to the chucks tonight. I was standing nice and close to the fence (leaning on it to be exact) last night when the chucks came ripping past, and I was struck in the neck with some flying mud! Thats what I call getting on in there!!! I loved it. I was joking with a fellow Newcap employee that that's what us Saskatchewan boys love, dirt in the face!
Who would have thought that horses could be such pranksters? On one of the heats, an outrider was having trouble getting on his horse and going. It looked like the horse was playing games because everytime the guy would try to jump on the horse would move just enough that the rider would miss. Kind of reminded me of when I go to pick people up and just as they reach for the door handle I drive ahead 3 or 4 feet. It usually gets me sworn at but hey its funny for me and I am sure that horse loved it.\
....

Funny how all Edmonton Eskimos fans were jacked up before the CFL season about the fact they now have Maurice Lloyd (former Riders LB) and new head coach Richie Hall (former Riders Defensive Coordinator), and now they will have the best defense in the league. They have given up 90 points in the last 2 games! And not only is that hilarious, but the Eskimos fans are blaming Ricky Ray for it! Last time I checked he didn't have the responsibility of stopping teams from scoring a point every minute and 20 seconds!
....

The above will back fire badly if the Riders don;t pull out a huge win tomorrow afternoon vs Montreal. I have the Riders winning 21-7. Bold? Yes, but as they say win or lose, we still drink booze!
....

Anthony Calvillo should get used to seeing this!

Chucks and stuff

Well it is time for the 2nd annual World Professional Chuckwagon Association Dodge Pro Tour stop in Bonnyville! Wagon races go tonight Friday and Saturday at 7 PM and then Sunday at 2! I will be live on location tonight from 4-8! I am excited, it has been at least 20 years since I was at chuckwagon races live. And I have never seen the pro's race so this should be a good week. We had Troy Flad and Luke Tournier on the show this morning and they helped answer a few questions we had such as what the word aggregate means! (It is what they call it when they add up all the times including penalties for the weekend and then crown a champion....I think). Tune in tomorrow as we will have a couple more drivers on to talk about how tonight went and what to expect for the rest of the weekend.
....

Had a friend tell me that the Heatley to Edmonton deal was still in the works but when I searched TSN.ca I couldn't find anything. If anyone knows anything let me know.
....

Buckcherry will be coming to the Lakeland this summer!!!! August 22 they will perform at the Energy Center in Cold Lake. Kinda disappointed that they chose the Energy Center in Cold Lake over the C2 here in Bonnyville but either way the show is going to rock! We started giving away tickets to the show on Wednesday so listen for more chances to win!
....

As you may or may not know, I am engaged and I would just like to say that with the organizational skills that my fiance has, the entire wedding should be all planned and figured out by Labour Day. That's a compliment seeing as we are not even getting married till next June!
....

What does a guy gotta do to get some A/C in the studio?!!!??!!
....

Kurtis Foster was on Off The Record yesterday arguing the need for the NHL to go to no touch icing. Hard to argue against him when you have a look at what happened when he was trying to beat out an icing call.
....

Is it just me or do video games cheat alot???!!!!?!!
....

OK that's all for today.... I am off to the track and I have $2 on Luke to be the weekend Champ!!!

J-Flow

From time to time I will get an e-mail from some independent artist looking to get some radio play. I understand that people need to do some self promoting from time to time in order to make it. Being the Music Director here at KOOL I listen to these people and 97% of the time there is a pretty good reason why they don't have a record deal. But the other day I opened my e-mail and discovered another e-mail with a song attached. I listened to the tune and a really liked it. I replyed telling J-Flow that I liked it and would feature it in our Brand Spanking New Music feature Monday morning (July 13/09) and then again in the Broiler Steakhouse and Bar Battle of the Beats, Tuesday morning (July 14). You as the listener voted it the 1 day Champ in a landslide. It beat out Christina Aguilera-Fighter. Here are the links for J-Flow and his tune Always Care. Expect to hear it in regular rotation on KOOL soon!
