The 2024 Summer Olympics begin this week in Paris, with the official opening ceremony happening Friday. They'll run through August 11th, and in that time athletes will perform in over 30 different sports. 

Some of these events are awesome to watch, and some are not so much. Truthfully, I'm a lot more excited when the X-Games air, but I understand the significance of the Olympics. It's the pinnacle of competition, with the world's very best coming head-to-head. As such, I think it's appropriate for this week's top ten list to be about them. 

Going for gold, here's my top ten Olympic Sports! 

10. Archery

9. Tennis

8. Baseball

7. Boxing

6. Basketball

5. Volleyball

4. Surfing

3. Table Tennis

2. Cycling

1. Skateboarding

Alright... I'm over it! 

It's that point in summertime where I've more-or-less had enough of the heat and I'm ready for what's next. I'm excited to pull out some of the clothes I have packed away and do all the fun fall things. Autumn is my favorite season, after all, and these cool temperatures we've been dropping down to during the overnight hours have me longing for those crisp mornings, crunchy leaves, and signature flavors.

Who's with me?

Some people are hat people. Luke Combs is one of them. Unlike many country music stars, however, his go-to isn't a cowboy hat but rather a good ol' ball cap. 

If you haven't heard, Luke is soon to open his Category 10 club in downtown Nashville. This new Music City honky-tonk is going to be quite the establishment, inspired by the mega-star's music and interests. 

That brings us right back to the hats. 

Luke Combs is asking fans to send in their favorite hat, alongside an explanation of its significance. Some of these caps will then be selected to hang with some of Luke's own in a display collection of over three-hundred pieces. The plan is to showcase these hats above the stage at The Honky-Tonk at Category 10. 

All the details and information on how you can apply to send your hat in can be found here: Hat Drive - Category 10

With that, wouldn't it be so cool if we could get a WQMX hat in there? It's definitely my favorite! 

It was another fun summer weekend for me, and I hope you enjoyed yourself too! With this nice weather we've had, it was prime time for cruising around in the El Camino. 

Sunday morning, I took my old Eleanor on out to General RV for a NEO Cars and Coffee event. That was a nice car meet with some really cool vehicles. 

Check out my dry erase drawing of a muddy farm truck! This might be my favorite thing I've put on the WQMX studio whiteboard yet. 

It sure took the longest! 

I love cheese... don't we all? From pizza to hamburgers, everything tastes better with some of that ooey gooey yellow stuff on top. It comes in many forms and varieties, and there's even non-dairy types. There's some I like, some I love, and some I just can't stand! 

Here's my top ten favorite cheeses!

10. Colby Jack

9. Asiago

8. String Cheese (Mozzarella) 

7. American

6. Parmesan

5. Sharp Cheddar 

4. Baby Swiss

3. White Cheddar

2. Nacho

1. Smoked Gouda

Here's this fun video I enjoyed watching with my brother. It's about a guy who tries every type of cheese in a grilled-cheese sandwich!

If you find yourself in downtown Akron and you've never stopped by Chill Ice Cream across from Lock 3, you're missing out. After an afternoon of skateboarding in the city, my friend and I were looking for a way to cool down when we stumbled upon this little ice cream shop. The sign on the door indicated there was a Tuesday Special: two pints for $10. 

Well, there were two of us and we each had $5, so that deal was a no-brainer. My buddy picked some chocolate mix flavored ice cream, and he was raving over it. 

Myself... I went for the grape. It was more like a sorbet, and it was amazing! The flavor was spot-on, and the non-dairy consistency was great too. The outside heat eventually turned it into something of a slushy, and that only made it better. I tore it up! 

Don't be surprised if you find me in there again next Tuesday; that stuff was good enough for me to want a stockpile. I can't speak for the other varieties, but if you're a grape fanatic like I am, you know where to go. 

Lot's of new music has dropped in the past few weeks, and I've especially been looking forward to Megan Moroney's new Album, Am I Okay?

If you've listened to it, I'm curious if you have a favorite. Here's mine:

I think I'm in love! 

I went to a truck-centric cruise-in at Summit Racing in Tallmadge on Sunday and there were so many awesome rides. From low riders "laying frame" to jacked up classics, there was something there for every taste. I even brought out my El Camino! 

The turnout was a little underwhelming, honestly, but I still had a lot of fun. If Summit wasn't so close to me, I'm not sure if it would have been worth it to travel to. Regardless, I had plenty to drool over. 

My absolute favorite truck was this one pictured, a purple Square Body Blazer. It's just about perfect. I'd maybe go a different direction on some of the details, but it's altogether a dream ride. 

Don't you think it would look sweet in the station parking lot next to its modern equivalent, Sarah Kay's Pronco?
