My Radio Lineup

, ,

What radio stations do you have pre-set in your car? I’ve mixed mine up just a bit.

93.1 The Zone. This is the “jockless” station for me. While The Zone does have deejays, I don’t know any of them, but I like the station’s balance of music.

93.9 Jamz. Playing ol’ skool music, the revamped 93.9 saw a resurgence and is where I go for my Bobby Brown and Expose fix. The station was truly jockless until recently, and they’re playing shenanigans with the listeners. No commercials means no commercials, but the banter of their deejays still stops the music.

102.7 Da Bomb. The most “progressive pop” station on my radio. Sam and Ryan in the morning have some funnies once in awhile.

Krater 96.3. Yes, I am getting old.

Island 98.5. It broke my heart when the Wake Up Crew was transplanted to 98.5 with its Hawaiian style and reggae music format. But after a year on Island, the Wake Up Crew is back to its old self. This station is programmed on my radio and is the station I prefer to listen to the deejays do their thing.

Star 101.9. Star still occupies the last button on my radio. The music alternative is a good change of pace from the R&B, pop, and easy listening.

Gone from my lineup is Power 104.3. The music didn’t really distinguish itself and neither did the deejays.

Retro Cap’n Crunch

, ,

The boxes of Cap’n Cruch cereal have gone retro! Do you remember these?

As a comparison, here are the current boxes where the Cap’n has color in his eyes and is rendered with more depth.

The retro boxes also include collector cards with fun facts about the Cap’n Crunch crew. Did you know the Cap’n’s first name is Horatio and went searching for the wild man of Borneo?

Panasonic Cordless Phone Replacement Batteries

, ,

Just verified that the Panasonic rechargeable batteries, HHR-4DPA, work as replacements for the HHH-55AAABU batteries that originally came with the phone (model KX-TGA101). Both are AAA sized and 1.2 V, but the 4DPA are 700 mAh while the 55AAABU are only 550 mAh.

You probably can find cheaper, but these qualify for Amazon’s free Super Saving shipping if your order is over $25.

Cherry Pumpkin Walnut Pancakes

, , ,

Sunday morning’s pancake special at Cinnamon’s was “Cherry Pumkin Walnut.”

Cherry and pumpkin (with proper spelling) – an interesting combo. Flavor wasn’t bad and reminded me of Jello for some reason. A short stack was enough of this gooey, nutty goodness. Here’s a picture just as the whipped cream started sliding down the hot mound of pink cakes.

From Bull in the Ring to Butt Drag

, ,

Gone are those days of wrestling drills like Bull in the Ring during high school P.E. Looks like this case where a Fresno high school wrestler performed an evasive “butt drag” maneuver on his opponent is being settled.

When executed properly, the butt drag is supposedly legitimate, but when done with too much zeal and a foreshadowing of malice, the move is downright criminal. For illustrative purposes, here’s the most popular Google image of “butt drag.”

What’s a Sussudio?

I don’t know what Phil Collins was singing about in Sussudio, but I still love this song!

And Phil doesn’t look like the part, but he sure can wail.
