Hey Y'all
Hey Y'all Whatcha Doin' (in a western doggy voice)
This is Blue. If you are wondering, that sure is a baby gate at the top of the stairs that he bull rushes and tries to get by...
Blue is definitely a character at the age of 16. He is a bit of a mix every dog imaginable and our whole family revolves around him.
Thought it was funny earlier this week there was a survey released:
The Survey said 74% of dog owners consider the family dog the main character of their family. That is Blue!
--84% consider their dog a child... That is Blue!
--41% said they would rather cut their own expenses than have their dog go without... That is Blue!
If you have a Blue in your family give them a treat for me! And get ready for National Dog Day this Monday!
Heater Time?
We've made it to that point in the year again where nighttime temperatures are dropping below fifty degrees... and that's brisk. It's been cool enough to have me leave the motorcycle in the garage and take the old Blazer instead. With that, it's dawning on me that I disabled my car's heat at the beginning of summer.
It had to be done.
That old Chevy has a broken blend door, so it was pumping heat into the cabin regardless of what I set the controls to. Short of ripping out my entire dash, my best solution was to plug the heater core and reroute the coolant, so that's what I did. Since then, I've had no heat (or A/C). It hasn't been a thought until now.
I'm left wondering when the right time to get the heater going again will be. It's not quite yet. As it stands, a sweatshirt works fine instead!
Radio Day!
Thank you for allowing us to be YOUR Country!!! Supporting our charities, community, sponsors, artists and everything that makes 94.9 WQMX what it is!
That is you... Making us part of your day and lives! Thank you...
Today for the Throwback Song Of The Day... it had to be something Radio...
Here are a few of my favorite ones about the medium that is here for you at 94.9 WQMX.
I love Mr. Midnight from Garth Brooks also....
I'm conflicted
I cannot decide. The past couple of days haven't been too bad. Today was better than Monday (with more sun), but still on the cool side.
I like Summer. I like the heat (just not the humidity). I also enjoy early Fall. It's still warm enough to have the windows open some days but the humidity goes away. I'm not ready to say goodbye to Summer and the heat, but these two days have felt nice. At the same time, I have been kind of chilly at the same time! Today, I'm wearing a fleece pullover!
I just don't think I'm ready for this yet, so I am happy it'll be back to warmth at the end of the week.
WYNN - CMML - Clay Walker (B-Day Revisit)
Clay Walker is having a birthday this month, and I thought we would honor him by revisiting his really great career. Let's look back at Clay Walker!
The Super Sturgeon Moon
As your overnight host on WQMX, I consider it my realm and duty to let you know about any cool space happenings. Especially if it has to do with the moon, I'm all about looking up towards the stars to try to catch a view of a celestial spectacle. Clearly, from the Northern Lights to the Eclipse this year, I'm not alone in my enthusiasm and interest in the subject.
We've got something awesome tonight, actually. It's a super blue moon out there Monday night into Tuesday here, though you probably won't be able to see it. We're overcast till dawn, but maybe you can get a glimpse.
Regardless, here's some more information on this special August moon: August's Rare Super Blue Moon: How and When You Can See It | TIME
Thanks for listening to 94.9 WQMX- day and night!
