Festival Of Speed-Back To Back Baby!!!

This past weekend marked the 25th Anniversary of the Lac La Biche Festival of speed. Every year there is a 'Media Race' featuring people from the media such as my self, Genevieve from 1310 CHLW, Chris Gill from 95.3 K-ROCK, Scott Campbell from Big Dog 103.5, Mark Cappis from The River 94.1, and some dude from "View Weekly" which is a free magazine out of Edmonton (damn memory).

Now if you are unfamiliar to what this is, it is a weekend event feature car racing, motor bike racing, and ski-doo drags, all on the lake. There are a few divisions for the car racing such as Chevette Rubber, Chevette Studded, and Neon Studded.

I raced in the Neon Studded category the last 2 years. Last year I was able to win quite easily as I got out front and didn't let up. I was presented a nice trophy which is proudly on display here at KOOL 101.3.

This year I went into the race with confidence riding high and was able to defend my title. It was a tougher race as the 'view' guy was on my tail and in front of me all race but when the checkered flag came down I was in front and was presented with my second straight 1st place trophy. It is a ton of fun and if you ever get a chance to race a car on ice DO IT!

Here is an aerial view of the track we raced around

I understand more pictures will be coming my way so when I get them I will post them on here as well as Facebook.

Next year I go for the "Three-pete"!

Numbers Don't Lie

Mathematicians have come up with a 'fiancee formula' that allows men to work out the perfect time to pop the question. All the guy needs is the age he would first consider marrying and his cut-off point -- and the equation does the rest. Math professor Anthony Dooley said: 'Applying math to matters of the heart is always dangerous. In life you are dealing with emotions and have to think much harder. But if you want to work out the right moment to start getting serious, this gives you a mathematical framework.' The formula is based on a statistical technique known as optimal stopping - or the best time to do something.

Wanna figure it for your self?

I know....I know

It has been a long time since I blogged. I have been kinda busy as of late, and to be honest nothing has really caught my attention to blog about.

The Grammys were last night and I was able to watch the last 45 minutes or so as I was travelling. I was quite disappointed in the censorship if Lil Wayne, Eminem, Drake, and Travis Barker collaboration. The completely turned the sound off for most of the song because of inappropriate lyrics. Why would the Grammys allow them to perform a song if it wasn't able to be listened to by the TV audience. It made me change the channel. Those award shows are pretty lame anyways.

This week is the Alberta Winter games here in the Lakeland. I will be attending the Opening Ceremonies on Thursday night and will be at the snow boarding on Friday. It should be alot of fun and I am pretty excited to feel the energy that will be emitted from the 2500 Athletes plus all the fans who will be here for the weekend.

Ok so maybe not everything about the Grammys made me change the channel

Stay Healthy!!!!

SAD DAY

Another picture from my dad. There has been a non life threatening injury confirmed by The Winnipeg Free Press, but no word who or the extent of the injuries.
Please leave some of your favorite memories of the old barn in the comments section....one of my favorite memories would be the shoes being tossed onto the ice after Klipper goals, and hosting a few Provincial Hockey championships and having that big air horn go off when we scored.

I am absolutely shocked and in disbelief of the news that the West Central Events Center in my home town of Kindersley Saskatchewan was lost today. I am speechless


I stole this picture from Janelle McCullough on facebook.

If you have any other pictures please email them to me at dlee@newcap.ca and leave any comments below.

I have a family member, Dayna Demmons, who was curling in the Scotties there so I hope they are all safe. (GOT WORD THAT THE CURLERS ARE FINE)

This one was sent from my dad.

Lakeland 2010 Alberta Winter Games

This week sure is flying by! We are less than a month away from the Lakeland 2010 Alberta Winter Games. Results are starting to come in with regards to people/teams that have qualified to play in the games.

The Bonnyville Pee Wee Pontiacs beat Red Water for the chance to represent Zone 2 at the games. The boys and parents are pumped to be representing the zone as the host city! Good work boys.

That is all I have for right now so if you know of any athletes or teams that have qualified for the games please email me at dlee@newcap.ca

How about that Gold Medal game at the WJHC!!!?? It sure was an amazing game. It got me thinking this morning about the people who are not sports fans. What else is there to watch on TV that can have you happy and excited one minute, cursing and pissed right off the next, then jumping up and down like a little kid, then sitting in silence trying to come up with some way that what you just saw didn't happen???? Its an emotional roller coaster that I absolutely love taking!!!!

Next up....cheering for Team Canada at the Olympics.

Change

New look to the blog today. I had a special someone make me a logo and do a few changes that she felt would make it look a little better. She did such a good job, maybe I will marry her this June!!!

As I look at the new look blog it reminds of how angry people get when things change. Remember how many people are completely outraged and claim they will quit using facebook when it goes through changes. I am still waiting for those people to quit. Also all the facebook groups that get started saying if 1,000,000 people join you can get the old facebook back. I have never ever been in this group of people because change does not scare me. Unless some asks me to roll a whole bucket of change, that is something I dis like.

Speaking of dis like, when is Facebook going to get a dislike button. Has there been 1 million people join that group yet? and when is that guy going to shave his moustache or quit smoking? come one people join those groups!!!! (sarcasm)

Cold

I find it kinda amusing that the first day of winter is still a week away. Today with the wind chill it is supposed to feel like -43 Centigrade. Here is hoping that we have a much warmer winter than we had in the fall.

The Bonnyville Pontiacs played very well over this past weekend. The played Spruce Grove on Saturday and, despite playing very well, lost by a score of 4-1. Spruce Grove is ridiculously good. They are huge with most the team being 6'2" or taller, the are fast, skilled and can even read each others minds. You put all those attributes together and it is no fluke they have been ranked either 1 or 2 in Canada all year long. With out a doubt I think they would be able to compete in the WHL they are that good!

Then the Pontiacs took on the Lloydminster Bobcats, a team that is struggling mightily in this AJHL season. Coming into the game the Cats had only scored 2 goals in the last 5 games and were losers of 12 in a row. As you might expect the Pontiacs dominated most of the game and came away with a 3-2 win.

Lloyd Sucks

Next action for the Pontiacs is this Wednesday on the road in Sherwood Park. Catch all the action on Kool 101 dot 3 or http://www.1013koolfm.com/ starting at 7:15.

A lot of school buses were cancelled today due to the extreme cold and that got Robb and I thinking of all the games we used to play in class when most of the kids were away because of the weather. We agreed that 'Heads down Thumbs up' was probably the best. Coming in a distant 2nd is 4 corners which was pretty lame when you think about it. Now the best game that I have ever heard of would have to be 'The Floor Is Lava:Classroom Edition'. Now this is a variation of the game "tag" but you have to stay on the tops of the desk cuz the floor is lava. I unfortunately never had a chance to play this one but it should awesome and dangerous all at the same time. If you have a game that you remember as being the best in class game during your school days leave a comment and Robb and I will discuss tomorrow morning.

Friday

So Monsieur Dan Golby and his little side kick Turd Ferguson (frequent callers to 'Mornings with Dean and Robb') stopped in at KOOL today and brought us some lunch. 8 breakfast sandwiches, 12 donuts, and a can of french vanilla cappuccino from Tim Hortons. They have challenged all other listeners to top that and buy food for 'Mornings with Dean and Robb' from now till the end of the year. Do your part people!!!!!

Pontiac news-

Shawn Bates will be out 4-6 weeks with an undisclosed injury that has been nagging for the last month.

Coach Chad Mercier hasn't bought any gifts yet this year.

And finally the Pontiacs have a pair of home games this weekend starting tomorrow when they take on the top team in the AJHL, ranked #2 in Canada, the Spruce Grove Saints. The game should be a doozy and I am looking forward to doing color for that one this Saturday. Puck drops at 7:30 MST from the R.J. Lalande Arena. Catch the action starting at 7:15 MST on KOOL 101.3.

Also the brutal Lloydminster Bobcats come to town Sunday. That game is at 6 MST with the pre game show starting at 5:45 MST.

Lloyd sucks

Sometimes when I sit back and take it all in, I realize how cool of a job I really have. I hope this doesn't come off like I am bragging but in the last 15 months I have been able to interview/meet; Bedouin Soundclash, Lillix, Gerry Dee, The Roadhammers, Olympic Curler Ed Luckowich, Kevin Martin, Farley Flex, April Wine, Mobile, JFLOW, and possibly a few more that I can't remember right now. Had I not gotten in to Radio I would never have been able to talk to any of these people let alone shake their hands. What can I say, I love my job! I think a person has to in order to wake up at 4:30 every morning in the -40 degree winter (-51 with the windchill, not even exaggerating) and come to work and think of ways to make YOU smile.

I hope you have enjoyed what I have been doing in the Lakeland for the last 15 months cuz I have been having a blast! I think I even have a few 'fans'

Ok maybe not as hard core as these people but a fan is a fan....check out how creepy buddy on the right is.....weird.

Tie????

The Bonnyville Pontiacs and Fort McMurray Oil Barons skated to a 2-2 tie last night. A freakin tie!!!! In the AJHL when tied after 60 minutes the play a 5 minute 4 on 4 OT session just like the NHL. After that if it is still tied they go to 3 on 3. Now most leagues go to a shoot out after the first 5 minute OT decides nothing but the AJHL goes with the 3 on 3. Which by the way is very entertaining with end to end rushes and numerous 2 on 1's and last night the Pontiacs even had a 2 on none break away which they were unable to capitalize on. So now that the 3 on 3 solved nothing the game then goes to a........no where!!!! Game over. Both teams get a point and a Tie is the result. I HATE it. Ties are old fashioned. Robb thinks they should go 2 on 2 for another OT, which you would think would solve a game but I think a shoot-out after double OT in a regular season game in the AJHL should decide a winner. NO ONE likes a tie. The fans hate them, the players hate them, the coaches hate them, and even the radio guys hate them.



Unless they are these ties.

Except for the computer one...that is another tie I hate.

Wednesday

Sorry nothing really to write about today.....distracted by earlier posts.

Also I will be doing Color Commentary tonight for the Pontiac's VS Fort Mac game. Puck drops 7:30 and Robb and I will be on at 7:15 with the pre game show. Then join us afterwards in the Weatherford Lounge for the post game wrap up and maybe a Coors Light or 2!!!!

Guys, stay healthy!

Tuesday

Unfortunately there are no boobs on the blog post for today but maybe another day there will be. Plus if you just scroll down you can see them again.

Is it just me or is much more difficult to play Call Of Duty-Modern Warfare 2 on-line, during the afternoon. I find it much easier at night and I have a theory behind this. In the afternoon you get the guys/girls that don't really have much else going on and play vids non-stop. In fact there are probably people on-line during the afternoon that haven't yet gone to bed from the night before so they are really really good at the game. So if this theory is correct, the average gamer would be online in the evening after they finished supper and discovered that TV these days blows unless you like Reality shows. Either way, evening or afternoon, I am still not that good at COD-MW2 on-line but find it very addictive.

Speaking of Reality TV. Biggest Loser season finale is on tonight. I have been getting into this show as of late and, even though my fiancee is out of town, I will probably tune in and see who won. The only thing that drives me crazy about the show is that it is 2 hours long. Oh well if it gets too boring I guess I could just video game it up some more.

Ok I lied here is another boob shot...

Stay healthy guys!!!!!!

Stay Healthy

A new study reveals that staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and increases their life expectancy by five years. They studied 500 men and found the one's who looked at breasts exhibited lower blood pressure, slower resting pulse rates and lesser episodes of coronary artery disease. Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female, is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out. The study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of stroke and heart attack in half.


So here is to men's health!!!!!


Ok your 10 minutes are up time, to get back to work!!!!!!

Friday

Finally got the Christmas tree up. I won't be around B'Ville from the December 24-January 4th so we just set up a little 2 footer in the corner. I was pleased that Leigh-Anne allowed us to decorate bachelor style. We have a string of lights going all the way around our living room....its sweet!!!!

Today it is snowing like hell and I noticed people on the old Facebook complaining about it, saying why does it have to snow. Well people....its December and for the last 1000 years it gets cold and snowy in December. Its life now suck it up and embrace it...trust me, it feels way better to get excited about it than it does to bitch and moan about it.

Everyone everywhere is talking about Tiger Woods. I didn't like him before and I sure won't like him after all these 'transgressions' have been outed.

By the way at what point do you decide you had better get in a car and drive away with your wife chasing you with a golf club. I think that if I was fighting with my wife and she grabbed a golf club I would try and reason with her. How scary is Tigers wife that he thought 'well, I'm getting the f*ck outta here this woman is crazy'?

I believe that if push came to golf club swinging, I could win that fight with my girl....I'm pretty strong!!!!

Maybe not......

Wednesday

Wow 8 weeks have flown by. I was using this blog as a tool for our listeners to play 'The Great Lakeland Scavenge Hunter' so this is my first blog post in about 2 and a half months.

I think the grieving process is done for me when it comes to the horror of Sunday night. I was at Robbs place watching and I think that is the only reason I didn't wreck something. I did say a few curse words tho, but it's time to move on and focus on hockey.

Speaking of hockey there is something in the works for fundraising and point totals with the Bonnyville Pontiacs. A local company will be donating 25 bucks per point that a certain Pontiac player gets throughout the course of this season and 50 bucks per playoff point. We are 2 months into the AJHL season so this point total will be retro-active. I don't want to say any names just yet as it still needs to be confirmed but it should be interesting as the player they will follow has put some big numbers up and should continue his pace for the remainder of the season. When I get things confirmed you, the reader, will be the second to know. (the listener usually hears first then I post stuff here as I am a radio dude).

I am starting to get extremely excited for Christmas!!! Like little kid oh-my-god-what-did-Santa-bring-me-excited!!!! The reason? I have 11 days off from work AND I will be attending Slovakia vs Switzerland and Canada vs USA on New Years Eve at the World Juniors in Saskatoon!!!! I was able to go to a World Junior Game in 1990 or 91 when they were last in Saskatoon but can't remember much other than being behind Canada's bench and not being able to see anything because the players stood the whole time. We migrated up (yah normally people move down) and were able to watch the game. We even made it on TSN!!!!

Well thats all I have for today....

GREAT LAKELAND SCAVENGE HUNTER

AND THE WINNER IS..........STACY MERCIER OF BONNYVILLE!!!!!!!!

Not impressed

I know it has been a long time since I wrote a new B to the Log post but hey here is the latest of whats on my mind
....

There is something seriously wrong with the head coach of the Kindersley Kobras football team. My younger brother who has played football for the last 5 years (most experience on the team), was the starting quarterback in grade 9 and 10, and now entering grade 11, has had his role on the team reduced to special teams.
The head coach has a personal grudge against him for an incident that occurred almost a year ago during class in which my bro and a few of friends were not thinking and recorded them selves saying a few inappropriate things. Now my bro was punished by the school administration in an appropriate way. The head coach who I will now refer to as dick wad, kicked him off the football team saying he is a horrible person. Now that year is done. In the world of high school it's all about learning and my brother has learned a valuable lesson from this. Don't be a dumb ass-plain and simple. But with the new football season upon us he was not allowed to join the team because of this incident from last year.
Then once my parents brought up the fact that school punishments NEVER continue from year to year, the dick wad says his grades are not good enough to play football. Valid point, but my brother is sporting an average in the mid 70's. There are kids on this football team that are down right failing yet they have no grief. There are kids on this team that made bomb threats to the school from payphones yet they have no grief.
Whats the problem here. In a society we live in where forgiveness and second chances are part of what we stand for, why does a 16 year old who just wants to play a sport he loves and excels at have to constantly be punished for such a minor incident? Is dick wad a bully? I would say so. So dick wad, if you are reading this I would like you to maybe listen in on the bullying seminars your student-athletes are required to sit in on. You could learn a few things. This is Canada and if a guy who can go a kill someone gets out of jail and has a new life, gets all his rights back, let the best player in your football team use his talent and play. A 1 day in-school-suspensions does not warrant being bullied by a dick wad and not allowed to play football.
There was no problem when he joined the Volleyball team!

If anyone else thinks this is wrong PLEASE post a comment!!!!!!

Wow, that felt good!!!

Saturday

Heading to the harvest fair this after noon at the Bonnyville museum. There will be pie judging for everyone. Pay $2 and you get to eat all the pies and decide which is the best. Winning pie gets $200!

Then tonight is the Bonnyville Pontiacs home opener vs St. Albert Steel. Tail gate party starts at 5:30 in the C2 parking lot with free hotdogs and kids games. Puck drops at 7:30. I will once again be helping out Robb during broadcasts with intermission interviews from the dressing room. Check out Robb's new website www.ajhlfan.com. It has everything you need to know about the AJHL and more!

Pretty pumped about tomorrow afternoon. My fiance is going to a friends house to watch the Riders game so I will be home alone watching 4 NFL games, and 2 CFL games with my son! Might even get some video game time in there as well!

Nessie, is that you?

Last week a man discovered what he claims to be a picture of the Lock Ness Monster while searching Google Earth. Robb and I talked about it Friday on the show and said that officials are investigating the image to see what it really is.

After looking at the imagaes, Lock Ness Monster

Investigators (yes that is a real job) have decided it is nothing but a speed boat. I will let you be the judge and leave a comment on what you think it is and Robb and I will discuss your thoughts during the show tomorrow
