Colin Lovequist will be basking in the prairie sun for the next couple of weeks which means I’ll be guest hosting Number 1’s at 1 periodically over the next two weeks! We have another solid show on the way today. One year ago today “I was Jack (You Were Diane)” by Jake Owen held the […]
Last night I had to do a grocery run and pick up a few critical items before Country Thunder kicks off. I ended up forgetting most of the stuff I needed and bought a bunch of stuff that wasn’t bad, but I didn’t need it! One of those delicious items happened to be canned kippered […]
Every dog has its day and even cows have their own day now! July 9th is cow appreciation day which was started by a fast food restaurant chain several years ago. For anybody who works with cattle (or used to work with them) will probably tell you they have at least one pet cow, maybe […]

Wedding season is upon us and the invites are coming in fast and furious, which is a great thing! In fact, I’ll be attending the wedding dance of some co-workers over the upcoming long weekend which I very much look forward to. A lot more couples nowadays are electing to hold their wedding outside of […]
Sunday turned out to be an excellent day after three damp and cool (but much needed) days in Saskatchewan. As I was sitting on my deck last night grumbling about how stiff and sore I was after softball, I started thinking about Monday’s show and what I was going to talk about. It occurred to […]
The 13th of June is upon us already and supposedly it’s “weed your garden day” today, something that I’ve been doing almost every day it feels like. Almost everybody these days are dealing with those pesky dandelions in their yards. They may look pretty when they flower but they can spread and take over a […]
