When I was a little kid my favorite toys were Tonka Trucks in the sandbox.  I had them all. The dump truck, crane, car hauler, bulldozer, and cement mixer.  And I supplied the noise for all of them. My mom said she would put me outside in the sandbox with a few of those trucks and I was good to go for hours.  My dad then was also a terminal manager for Roadway and I loved big trucks too.  I remember sitting in a few Ford C Series Tractors on a couple of Saturday mornings in the terminal.  Ford made the C-Series from 1957 - 1990  - (somehow I remember that)

The Ford C-Series was Roadways cab of choice in those days. I even knew the Models and letters of the models then.  I also knew about the big trucks like Kenworth, Peterbuilt, and Mack!  I knew the difference between a conventional truck and a cab-over.  I just loved trucks, probably because my dad knew a lot about them.

So I loved trucks, and still do. Then I ran across this article about REALLY BIG THINGS we used to make and almost no one ever really knew about them.  So, if you love big trucks, you need to check this out

This Weekend – Check out my (Mega Star Series Recap) Country Music Memory Lane (link)

About once a month during the Country Music Memory Lane Series I write here, I have the Mega Star Series.  The Mega Star Series features artists that are the true giants of our format. Again, these are over the last 40 years that I have played country music on the radio all over the country at many great radio stations, including WQMX!

So, in case you have missed the start of the Mega Star Series, here is a recap of the stars I have featured so far, as there are only a few.  Reba is next, and she will be featured next week!  And if you favorite is not on this list they probably will be soon.

  We are now well into June and grilling season is in high gear at our house and hopefully at yours too.  At our house we have a rule that I love.  If the grill is on, so is sausage.  Might as well, the grill is lit, and sausage is perfect on it.  If the beautiful Windy and I are having burgers, chicken, pork, corn, veggies or anything else sausage is on as well.

It's the perfect thing to do.  I goes on the top shelf, cooks evenly, perfectly and is delicious.  It goes well with all of the above and if there are leftovers, OK!  GREAT!

My friend Beef and I came up with this rule a number of years ago.  We call them "testers."  If the sausage is good,then so is everything else.  Plus, you can munch on a few brats, or Hot Italian links before the main meal.

There are also a couple of other rules.  Hot dogs make nice testers too, but you have to be over 12 to have a brat or sausage "tester."  (OK, it's not a REAL rule.)  But it should be, as we are OK with maybe a bite or two only from a hot dog, but sausage has to be valued and appreciated. Nothing grill related is as sad as a half eaten sausage left to wither away...

Click on this link (no pun intended) and up your sausage game.  I love the spicy ones, but there is a sausage for everyone!

Your Guide To Better Sausage!

The past couple of years have been not as good as we would like for many reasons. And I would like to think that things will get better still as time goes on. Global events meant many changes for us and for many businesses.  But one biz that has seen a real resurgence has been the once almost forgotten Drive In Movie Theater.

At one time there were seemingly thousands across the nation, and they were great fun.  I spent a good deal of my high school and shortly there after at the drive ins!  They were the best place to take a date as I remember.  Also we would go in larger numbers at times, and sit outside of the car. Sometimes we would grill out in the back and put the speakers outside an catch the double feature on warm summer nights.  We would park all of our cool cars in the back take lawn chairs and a huge group of us would have great fun!

There are few things more American than a fun summer night at the Drive In!  And today is National Drive In Movie Day. There are still a bunch around this area, and here is a list of them so you can take your bunch to the drive in!!   (Click On The Link Below)  If you never have, do it!   AND you still get a double feature!

This is the car I used to drive to the Drive In!  Loved that car!   -  1974 Chevelle Malibu Classic!
