Lainey Wilson kicked off the ACM Awards with a nod to the host state covering the Little Texas hit, “God Blessed Texas." She then rolled into her own song, “Hang Tight Honey," which could have been her mantra for the evening.
Lainey took three trips to the podium claiming the coveted Entertainer of the Year award, along with Female Artist and Music Event with Jelly Roll. However, Chris Stapleton matched her trip for trip winning Male Artist, Album for Higher and Artist-Songwriter.
Reba McEntire sparkled in her return to the hosting role joking that when she started, “Luke was one of the gospels, not half the guys in country music.” After singing the closing number, she announced that she would be returning as next year’s host.

Thursday was a productive day for me. I started out helping my brother finalize a speech he'd been working on. I then mowed the lawn and put some work in using my pressure washer. I got the kayaks sprayed off and rinsed out, did the kitchen trash can, and cleaned up some pavement near the driveway. I also sprayed the mower (what a difference!) and hit my minibike with the water too.
I spent some additional time detailing that little machine and maintenanced the chain. The clutch needed lubed up too, I checked my oil, and I filled the tires. With nearly a full tank of gas, I was good to go cruising! And that I did.
I traveled over eight miles on my little hog, and it ran like a champ! There's this one spot at which I've been thinking about going fishing and I wanted to check it out, so I made the trip. I only halfway serviced my clutch, and it gave me a few hiccups along the way, but everything else was just about perfect. My chain could be a little tighter as well, I suppose, but I'm happy to report no major problems.
Now, this here is something of a minibike appreciation blog, but I'd also like to use it as an opportunity to remind you to do what you love. Even if it's been a while- especially if it's been a while, do what makes you smile! I had forgotten how much joy a simple little cruise could bring me, and even though I ride a full-sized motorcycle; my mini's always a ton of fun.
Let's get up, get out, and have a great time!
You want to be tuned in to WQMX at 9:00 tonight during the New @ 9! For tonight's new song spotlight I have the new Luke Combs single "Ain't No Love In Oklahoma"!!!
I will need your help though to decide if we keep it or kick it. Once you hear the song in its entirety, call or text me on the Toth Buick GMC Text line at 330-370-2000 to let me know your thoughts! You'll have until 9:45 to vote and I'll give you the final results at 9:50!
