93.5 WOZZ, Now Just A Memory, Pot Heads Won't Remember

Update, I had to change the title and added my comments below.

Seems on Friday WOZZ ended programing where 93.5 became WRQE, 93 Rock.

From Wiki.

The station was previously under the WOZZ call sign, and was noted for airing during the 1990s and 2000s a format of classic rock from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s ("93.5 WOZZ, The Classic Rock Station"). WOZZ previously had studios in the former Fidelity Bank building in Appleton until 2008, when Midwest Communications moved all its Green Bay and Appleton-area stations under one roof in new facilities in Bellevue, Wisconsin, a Green Bay suburb; however, WOZZ (and later WRQE) continue to maintain a control room and sales office in Appleton to meet Federal Communications Commission requirements.

During the week of September 3, 2010, WOZZ ran an online stunt on Facebook under the user name "What Does It All Mean?" The profile page (see 'External Links' below) included short videos featuring WOZZ personality David Burns and painted rocks counting down days ("5 days," "4 days," etc.). Speculation was of a format flip to a more current form of mainstream rock, which is what occurred at 5PM on September 3, after REO Speedwagon's "Time for Me to Fly" concluded; at that time, a brief audio montage introduced "93 Rock", promising a mix of rock music from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s in a less-sedate on-air presentation.[1] (Sammy Hagar's "There's Only One Way to Rock" was the first song played on "93 Rock.") With the format flip, the station adopted the WRQE call sign formerly found on its sister station at 99.7 FM in Door County (which adopted a classic rock format at the same time and day 93.5 FM adopted its new format). The Bob and Tom Show, a holdover from WOZZ, will continue to air during 93 Rock's morning drive time (5-9AM).

I added this.

What will all the pot head, dope smoking. F M type, baby boomers who listened to WOZZ going to do now that the station changed call letters and format? I'm not saying all listeners were pot heads but I know a lot of them who were.

Ah, they won't remember anyway, they smoked too much dope, lost all memeory.

Slip Slide And Away

Took Mrs B ATV ing Saturday. Went on the Oconto County Dusty Trails club trails. Did a 70 mile trip with our GREAT neighbors. Stopped at 11:00 for a Bloody Mary at the Wheel Inn , in Stephenson. Took the trail north to Crooked Lake. The above picture from Google is some of the fun we had slipping and sliding in mud and water from Crooked Lake to Smyth Road.

We stopped and talked to a couple of guys and they asked us if we seen a dead bear cub coming out of Crooked Lake. We told him we didn't. He said a pack of wolves killed it a couple days ago. the wolf pack must of dragged it away to eat. From there, tried to find our way to Lakewood. Got lost a couple times and decided to head back. Berry Lakers mother was visiting so we went home.

Our 2 up seat Polaris ATV


was the best investment we could of made. the trails are limitless and you can go to Michigan if you really want. From May to November the trails are open. It gives Mrs B and I time together. Thank You Lord.

It's Sunday morning. Off to church in Krakow, pick up the Sunday paper and help Mr's B can tomatoes. Big birthday party for Penelope ( Berry Laker son # 2 girlfriend) tonight, she turns 21 next week.

No, no, no, I did not forget the race at Atlanta tonight. Go # 5 old man!

Kagen's Boat Has A Leak

EHExtra.com reports a stop by Nancy Pelosi's puppet Congressman Steve Kagen at Marinette Marine

As for MMC's odds of being awarded the deal? "I'm very confident. We make the best ships. We've got the best price. The Navy likes the ship. So, we've got everything in our corner," Kagen said, eliciting cheers from the crowd of MMC employees.

"I'm working hard every day to guarantee we get this contract for the LCS ships."

How does Kagen know MM has the best price? Did the company tell him the bid to the defense department? How can he guarantee MM will get the contract? If the company does all the work, ( put the bid out) how can Kagen take credit for the contract if they get it?

Are those union members that out of touch with reality that they would cheer for Kagen when he has nothing to do with their jobs? It's company management and the workers quality work that gives them job security! Steve Kagens ship has a leak and is going down! "

We're all in the same canoe together, so let's start pulling in the same direction - and that's going forward," he said. "We can't afford to have somebody without having their paddle in the water and pushing backwards - so let's take that positive step together."

He's at a giant ship building company and he say's were all in a CANOE? Say what? You can go to the above link to read the whole thing.

He reminds me of Gilligan on the old T V show! Will this captain go down with the ship?

Nicolet Deer 101

No I'm not a deer expert, just some observations.

1) A fawn lost it's spots this past week.

2) A small I'm assuming under two year old 4 point buck still hangs around mom. Second time I seen the pair this summer. I would think he will leave mom this fall.

3)Also after the rain last night a doe and her fawn must of licked the grass for water. A hour later that 4 point buck was licking the same spot. I can only assume he was picking up the doe's scent for the rut this fall.

Isn't the north woods GREAT.

My Vote For Wis. Senate

This is an easy one.

How can anyone living in Wisconsin vote Russ Feingold. He is no maverick! As in some of his commercials, he is not frugal with the tax payers money.

Obama Care, the bail out, the stimulus, McCain Feingold need I go on? Where are the jobs Russ? Do the people of Wisconsin want to send Russ back to Washington to take away more of our freedom? Take away more of our money? How far will Russ go to keep moving government more to socialism. What else can you call it.

We need to change Washington and Ron Johnson is the man that will do it.

You can go to his web site for more information.


I'm voting for Ron Johnson.

My Vote For Wis. 36th Assemble District

The two candidates I find running for the Wisconsin 36th are Democrat Anne Woznicki from Florence and Republican Jeff Mursau from Crivits.

First, Anne Woznicki - On her web site she has three categories on the issues. On "Creating Jobs In Northern Wisconsin", she states

The people of northern Wisconsin need a legislator who will bring home a piece of the pie to our district.

Oh boy, sounds like a typical liberal, promising that pie. On "Adequately Funding Public Schools", she states,

Both Republicans and Democrats recognize that this is a problem that must be addressed, yet they have failed to act.

It was the democrats in Anne's party that gave us this problem with ending the QEA. You know she would be in the pocket of the teachers union. What dem isn't? On"Conserving Natural Resources and Exploring Green Energy" she states,

We have the resources necessary for potential energy sources, such as wood pulp, corn, switchgrass, manure, water, wind, and sun.

Ok, sounds good but why should government and the tax payers of Wisconsin pay the bill on renewable energy? If renewable energy is the future then let private business create and sell it. Ethanol or manure mandates paid by the tax payers is not the way to go. You wonder why Jim Doyle and the left in Madison gave us a deficit. We need less government and not more. Her green position is all manure. Notice she does not address the issue of gun rights. Hummmmmmm.....

I think she ran for assembly when she lived in Manitowoc and lost. If you want higher taxes, more government then vote for Woznicki

My other choice is Jeff Mursau. Mr Mursau votes,

Yes for for voter ID,

Yes on Partial Birth/late Term Abortion Ban,

No on AB75 , 2209 Budget Bill

No on Mandatory Kindergarten,

Yes on concealed Carry, and more. on link from Project Vote Smart.

I am not happy with all his votes Smoking ban, wind power, etc. but with Woznicki's party in control Mursau could not do a lot with Diamond Jim Doyle and the rest on the left running Wisconsin.

I have only lived in the 36th district since February but I have to say to change Wisconsin I need Mursau back in Madison. With other conservatives elected we need to take back Wisconsin.

I will vote for Jeff Mursau

My Vote For Wis. Lt Governor

I will not endorse any candidate. I will only tell you who I will vote for and why.

Three candidates are running in the upcoming republican primary for Lt. Gov..

State Rep. Brett Davis, Superior Mayor Dave Ross and Rebecca Kleefisch. Let's look at each candidate and my thoughts on them.

Sept. 10, update. To be fair to all candidates I did omit one that is on the ballot that I did not mention. Nicholas Voegeli is also on the republican primary ballot.

Nicholas Voegeli - graduate of Marquette, worked in both private and public accounting. He is a CPA and CMA who resides in Sun Praire Wisconsin. Retired as a Lt Commander after 20 years active / reserve duty as a Navy officer. Ran for Lt gov. in 2006. I have also read several links to Mr Voegeli. He has also read and commented on some of my posts. It was not fair leaving him out of my post on Lt gov which is the reason for adding this information. Mr Voegeli makes some very good points, has written several editorials and was on Wisconsin Public Radio but as of today I cannot make a fair assumption of his candidacy but at least wanted to let my two readers know some of his information.

Another updated candidate,

Robert Lorge - Here is a link to his web site. He was not on my radar screen so I cannot say either way on his positions.

I will admit of my lack of knowledge on the above two candidates. Because of my lack of their positions at this late date I cannot make a call on them. I am just a voter and will not go into the voting booth and take a guess on who I should vote for. I have to draw my own conclusion and make my vote count. There has been times in the past either in state or local races I had no idea who that person was. In those cases, I did not cast a vote for that specific race. Just telling you my position. Now to the three candidates that I know about.

Dave Ross - if you don't own a gun and want the Milwaukee to Madison high speed rail system, then he's your man. Ross was a member of "Mayors Against Illegal Guns. What gun would Ross consider illegal? You have to really think about that. High speed rail, Who is going to flip the bill to run that ill conceived choo choo train? The people of Wisconsin will pay for it out of the transportation funds. The funding the state uses for roads in the state. Or maybe a new rail tax, I can see it now. Sorry, Mr Ross is not my choice.

Brett Davis - the person picked and backed by a lot of republicans in the state. As state representative Davis sponsored ethanol mandates. He voted for mandates on ethanol and now say's he is against it. Say what, another John Kerry? Davis a republican ( say what) voted with Jim Doyle to increase taxes in Wisconsin. Voted for the money being taken from the Patients Compensation fund which was overturned by the state supreme court. So now the state is on the hook for the 200 million dollars plus interest that the state will have to pay back to doctors. Thank you Brett Davis for your votes.

With republicans like Davis why didn't he run as a democrat? God forbid Davis is elected, something happens to the next governor and Davis would the be gov. and pick up right where Jim Doyle left off. People like Davis, Diamond Jim Doyle and other democrats got us into this mess. Rino's like Davis is not my choice for Lt gov. You wonder why I have problems with the republican party. They back candidates that are not conservative.

Rebecca Kleefisch - ok, she has no political experience. So! All politicians started some where. Yes, in Wisconsin the Lt Governor's position depending on who the Governor is can be a do nothing position. Look at Bab's Lawton. Rebeeca is married to Joel Kleefisch who is the state representative for the Wisconsin 36th district. You think Rebeeca doesn't know how Madison works? Raising taxes and fee's, raiding doctors and road funds, standing up for voter fraud. What more does she have to know? The bottom line, Kleefisch is a conservative. I see Kleefisch making changes in Madison. Changes we need today. Do you want change or do you want the same old same old?

From her web site

I’m pro-life. I believe life begins at conception and ends at natural death and that we need to respect the dignity of life at all stages.

I believe in our right to protect our families. I’ve received gun training and while I may not yet be an Olympic-caliber marksman, I do know I have a right to protect my family. I believe Concealed Carry would deter crime in Wisconsin. I understand that hunting has been a cherished family tradition in our great state for generations. I will work to protect and respect the rights of responsible gun owners.

With the right governor elected and Rebecca Kleefisch as Lt Gov., we can turn around this mess that Doyle, Lawton, Davis and the rest on the left got us into.



I'm voting for Kleefisch
