Prioritize your peace.
Join me on May 11th for the Countdown to The Country Fest Kickoff Party at Brick Street Kitchen and Taproom in Orville. I will be there from 7-9pm with ticket and merch giveaways. There will be drink specials and the Tyler Reid Band will be playing from 9-11:30pm.
See you there!
Spring is in full bloom, and the trees are no exception. Bright new buds are blossoming, and the treetops are filling out again. I'm really enjoying all the different seasonal colors, from light pink to neon yellow and more.
Whether we climb them, build with them, eat from them, burn them, use them for shade, or simply just breathe the fresh air they provide; trees are a huge part of all our lives. So, let's take a moment to appreciate them here with my top ten trees!
10. Blue Spruce
9. Apple
8. Weeping Willow
7. Dogwood
6. Buckeye
5. Japanese Maple
4. Ironwood
3. Cherry
2. Giant Sequoia
1. Birch
Side note: Aren't Bonsai trees the coolest? I think so. Apparently you can use the technique on most any type of tree or shrub with the proper methods, but I've heard it's not easy. I'd like to have one, but and I'm worried it wouldn't survive under my care and they're typically not cheap to come by. To get one established myself from a seedling- that's even tougher, I'm sure.
Every Thursday, you'll find a new top ten list here as my blog for the WQMX website. They're usually my favorite to do, and the best part is when I get your feedback! I love hearing how my favorites compare to yours when it comes to these various topics, and if you've ever got an idea for a future list, I'm always open to suggestions.
Till next time!
This Saturday from Lyon, France WWE Backlash will take center stage at 1pm EST.
I am not really a fan of the early starts but oh well...
The fall out from Wrestlemania and the WWE Draft are set to kick in Monday... Remember SummerSlam is coming to Browns Stadium August 3rd as well... Tickets go onsale Friday at 10am thru Ticketmaster.
Backlash Card:
Cody Rhodes vs. AJ Styles - I think Cody Rhodes will carry the gold until SummerSlam for sure... AJ Styles is phenomenal but I think Cody gets the win Saturday....
Damian Priest vs. Jey Uso - This one seems too early for Priest to drop the strap. Jey Uso will pick up the World Heavyweight Belt.
Bayley vs. Naomi vs. Tiffany Stratton - I think Tiffy is a rising star... It's Tiffy Time all the time for me, except with Bayley and Naomi being friends it maybe an uphill battle for her. I say Bayley continues her reign as WWE Women's Champion...
Asuka and Kairi Sane (The Kabuki Warriors) vs. Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill - Look for Bianca and Jade to pick up the belts. Even with help I think the Belair and Cargill Team will win WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.
Randy Orton and Kevin Owens vs. The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga) - I hope the Team RKO-KO win but there seems to be a push to make The Bloodline relavent without Roman Reigns. Even though they the 1's and smell like 2's.. I think somehow The Bloodline pulls this one out..
Becky Lynch vs. Liv Morgan - Becky is the next stop on Liv's Revenge Tour... This one is a toss up for me. I will say Becky but could see it going either way.
Sami Zayn vs. Chad Gable - Gable is looking to make his way out of jobber status and become a champion... He is a great wrestler and deserves a belt at some point. I just don't think he will be getting the Intercontinental Championship on Saturday. If he does WWE Universe will be happy for him but can't see it happening... unless he drops it on Raw Monday Night.
Remember these are just my thoughts and guesses... there is no science or knowledge that goes into these just what I think will or might happen.

She's beauty. She's grace. She's my 1981 Chevrolet El Camino, Eleanor.
Eleanor found her way to me a few years back, and the moment I saw the truck, I knew I needed it in my driveway. I'm a car guy, simply, and I've always owned something interesting.
I've had a Monte Carlo SS, a Camaro, and an old Valiant sedan as summer cruisers in the past, but my El Camino takes the cake. Sure, there were things about those cars I really miss: my Camaro had T-Tops, my Monte Carlo was fully optioned with leather heated seats and all sorts of nice features, and a sweet little blinker on the fender would light up when you used a turn signal in the Valiant, for example.
Still, there's nothing like Eleanor.
Take a look at this picture I took of her yesterday, and that alone should tell you why. After the first carwash of year, it was photo time, and wow! This might have to be my new screensaver.
I love my old Chevy, and I'm so very excited for car show season to be back around. It's awesome that there is such a strong presence of car enthusiasts here in Northeast Ohio with so many events to go to. I attend as many as I can, but always seem to miss a bunch too!
Sooooo, if you know of any family-friendly car meets going down in the Akron area this summer, please let me know! Whether it's a one-time deal or a weekly show, send all the info on the WQMX studio text line, sponsored by Toth Buick GMC, at 330-370-2000. Maybe we'll get a list going.
Whether or not you've got a show-worthy ride, that's okay. Hopefully we'll bump into each other at some show, and I'll let you check out what's under the hood!
Have a special day coming up... or a just because? Don't go with a P-Lainey Card... Make a great impression with a Lainey Wilson one. Not only will she be bringing Bell Bottom Country to The Country Fest in June. But Lainey is coming to an envelope and a card for your next special event as well.
