Mornings with Mike McKay
Mike is BACK on the air every morning all across Eau Claire and the Chippewa Valley on 105-7 CFW! With over 28+ years in the Chippewa Valley, this has become home for Mike and his wife Lori. His kids grew up here and they still live here as well. When he's not on the air waking up the Valley, Mike spends time working around the house and yard as well as relaxing on the deck, usually more time relaxing than working! Weekends mean exploring the area and even after all these years, both he and his wife Lori still find things they've never seen before. Mike enjoys a little bit of online poker and spending quality time with his Pomeranian GiGi and kitty "Violet". Oh, and hockey is the only sport that matters in his house, "GO WILD"!

That can’t be real!
I’ve heard it over and over, the stories you share on the radio can’t be real. I assure they are not only 100 percent real but it would be impossible for me to make up these things. Reality is way crazier than fiction. That’s one of the things I love about this job is that […]

Yep, I said it!
There’s been times when you say something and you get the old “I can’t believe you said that” response. I don’t understand that response. We all have opinions and thoughts about things in life. What makes us human is having thoughts and many times we’ll disagree about those thoughts or opinions. Not that long ago […]

It’s Monday (again!?)
It happens every week, Monday. Have you noticed that it’s how it’s said that can make the day. Follow me for a second. If you say “it’s Monday again (ugh)” you’re obviously dreading the day. But, if you try “it’s Monday!” as in let’s get a fresh start, your day may go just a little […]

My driving world collided yesterday!
4-way stops can be the worst. But, have you had 4 cars, each going straight pull up to the 4 way stop at the EXACT same time? That’s what happened to me yesterday. No one moved. Each one was waving the other to go, but no one did. Then we all tried to go at […]

National Yearbook Picture Day.
I think we all need a little smile in our life and today is National Yearbook Picture day. Time to dust off your yearbooks and take a peek at those precious yearbook pics. The fashions and the hairstyles! My pic is from 10th grade, Tartan High School in Oakdale MN, and ready to take on […]

Football makes no sense!
As I’m watching some “football” over the weekend, I thought football makes no sense. Not the game, the NAME. Sure they kick the ball from time to time, field goals, extra points and punts but the whole concept of the game is to tackle the person with the ball. The game should be called TACKLEball. […]

Why don’t people use their vacation days?
I just saw a recent survey that said 62-percent of American workers didn’t use all their vacation days in 2024. Some of the reasons: no place to go, worried about their job and some said they’d rather work then just sit around the house. I’ve always been under the impression that vacation days or “PTO” […]

Uh-oh!! Better check this out!
If you have Gmail you NEED to change your password(s). Google has confirmed that all 2.5-Billion Gmail account holders “should probably” change passwords because of a data breach. That’s tech speak for hacked. It’s a good idea to change your passwords every few months anyway, so make sure you do it. Now, if I can […]

It’s National Dog Day!
They are truly members of our family. The pic is of GiGi our Pomeranian and she brings a ton of joy to our lives. Today’s the day to celebrate that doggie (or doggies) in your life. A few extra pets, play for a few more minutes, a walk or two and of course a couple […]

Today is ‘Happy’ Monday!
I thought we’d try something different today. Instead of, “ugh, it’s Monday again” I thought we could try “It’s Monday, bring on a new week!” It’s been proven over and over that how we approach something may actually bring a result. Think it’s going to be bad it’ll probably be bad. If you think positive […]

Pump your brakes summer!
It’s August 18th! We’re just a couple weeks from Labor day weekend and back to school time. It’s almost the “end” of Summer. How can it be? It just started, right? However, remember this, Fall doesn’t officially start until, September 22nd so we still have an entire MONTH of Summer left. Don’t give up yet, […]

Crackle, pop, I’m not talking about cereal!
I’m talking about the glorious sound when you listen to vinyl records. Today (Tuesday August 12th) is National Vinyl Record Day. A great day to listen to music in it’s finest form. Every crackle, every pop just makes that record sound so much better. If you don’t have a record player, at least find a […]

It’s Monday, again!
Which Monday is it for you? Is it “it’s Monday, again (ugh)” or “it’s Monday, again (let’s start a new week!)”? Try the “start a new week” version and hopefully it’ll be a great week. As always, thanks for listening and hopefully we can help to make your day/week just a little better.
