WYRK Listeners Enjoying Deer Season [GALLERY]
Deer hunting is one of my favorite pastimes. It's not so much about harvesting a deer as it is hanging out with some of my favorite people while enjoying the outdoors.
This year has been a little bit crazy as I have only been out for two days of gun season...
Dancing With The Stars Crowns A New Winner Last Night [VIDEO]
Do you watch Dancing With The Stars? It is my wife's favorite TV show. While it is not really my cup of tea, I will reluctantly admit that I have watched a bit of this season's shows. Maybe because I am of a Brooke Burke fan (it's ok, my wife knows)...
Are You Worried About Our Children? [VIDEO]
With the current state of affairs here in our country, it gets me a bit worried about our future. Not so much for myself, but for the future generations. Will they enjoy the prosperity that my generation has had?
Whether you're a Democrat or Republican is not really the issue...
Does Buffalo Have A Carrie Underwood Double?

WYRK listener Michelle sent me this photo of her daughter who could very well be Carrie's Buffalo twin...
Crazy Turbo Charged Tractor [VIDEO]
I will be the first one to admit that I still have not grown up yet. One of my favorite hobbies is to go in the woods near my house and play in the mud with my Yamaha Grizzly ATV. I also enjoy watching other folks play in the mud with their machines as well...
Sunsets On Crittenden Road [GALLERY]
There's something very magical about watching a sunset. Many times when I see one, it just stops me in my tracks and I have to take a moment or two to watch the sun go down.

How To Season Your Turkey [VIDEO]
As I told you in an earlier post, we will not be doing any cooking tomorrow as we are going out for Thanksgiving. But, I do have two turkeys in my freezer that I plan to be cooking up within the next 4 to 5 weeks.

My Favorite Thanksgiving Song [VIDEO-NSFW]
So what are you doing for Thanksgiving tomorrow? My family and I are going to a restaurant to celebrate our Thanksgiving. It's a new tradition that we started around 5 or 6 years ago. Of course there are pros and cons to going our for dinner on Turkey day...
Noon Tunes Hot Pick Of The Week: Kristy Lee Cook “Airborne Ranger Infantry” [VIDEO]
As you may know, I really enjoy playing songs that honor our servicemen and women. Our soldiers are the true heroes of this nation. We always try to do a lot of requests for our military friends. Many of them are listening on-line in far away places...
How To Deep Fry Your Thanksgiving Turkey Country Style [VIDEO-NSFW]
One of many items on my cooking bucket list is to deep fry a turkey. I have tasted deep fried turkey that friends have made and it is really delicious, but I really want to make my own.
One advantage of frying your turkey is the shortened cook time...
Congratulations To Matthew Vizzi On His First Buck
When you're a deer hunter, you always remember your first deer. There is nothing like that feeling when you finally get one. It's a memory you have for the rest of your life.
Congratulations to 14 year old Matthew Vizzi who took his first deer with a firearm on Saturday morning in Caneadea...
