Rhetty, Set....Go Outside!

Thomas Rhett is trying to do what most of us need to do...

Get kids and hopefully grown-ups too off their Ipad's, phones and screens.

Rhett is trying to get 1.2 million kids off their screens and outside for at least 1 more hour a week. 

Dare I say... getting out and enjoying the 'country again'.  

Find out more about the Outsideologist Program from Rhett below.

Throwback Song of the Day

Each weekday at 3:10.  I deliver the Throwback Song of The Day! 

Today's the artist said the song made him laugh and sometimes we all need that.  It just sounds fun!  Plus he needed a bus song on Clancy's Tavern in 2011. He put all the writers of the song into help him sing backup vocals and have some fun too.  That is not all he brought to the table cameo wise.

Remember the video?  It portrays an Animal House kind of Fraternity Scene.

See if you can catch all the stars that make an appearance in this one. 

Tune in tomorrow for another Throwback Song of The Day!

Wednesday Night is huge.  I know it is just the Browns Schedule being released.

But following a hell of a season, playoffs, hosting and winning the draft...  This is the next step.

With the schedule release tonight at 8pm. 

-We'll see where the bye week falls.

-When Pittsburgh and the rest of the AFC North show up...

-When to travel and when to call off work.

Overall the schedule leads to Rookie Camp later this week into the weekend.

Hopefully all leading to a Championship.  A lot of people are feeling it.

This is for "The Birds"

Last year around this time.  A mysterious nest appeared on the garage.  The nest fell and my wife created a makeshift nest out of a planter.  The birds lived, grew up to be healthy birds, and are probably entering the finest schools in the area.  Here is a picture of them.

This year, we hoped that we would be bird free... wait around till our baby birds graduate and spread their wings and fly. 
Then just this week, a new nest popped up.  Looks like there will be another summer for the birds.

Love this Guy

I have a tiny yard.  If I had a Beer I would mow the whole neighborhood, especially if I had this thing... 

Kudos, your lawnmower is cooler.

I need to start working on a Ben Beer to rival the Ron Beer!

Tommy Toon-Town

So Tom Brady was at the Super Bowl Boat Parade walking around like Bernie from 'Weekend at Bernies'.   Tom Brady showed up at the Kentucky Derby in grand fashion, over the weekend.  He walked around looking like another movie character.   

There were a lot more.  But you get the point.  I imagine his rebuttal to all the shade being thrown his way would be all his rings make him look like the G.O.A.T...  or I imagine that is what he would say.
