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"!

So, it’s NOT Humpday anymore?

So, it’s NOT Humpday anymore?

It’s Wednesday, so does anyone say “happy humpday” any more? Probably not. Any other phrases that you lived through that don’t get used anymore? How about “wazzzzuppppppppp”? Text me through the Civic Media app (which should be on your phone!) and let me know what else is a “don’t use that” anymore. Have a great […]

Is everybody mad?

Do you spend time on the internet and think to yourself “is anybody happy?”. I do, and that’s why I’ve decided to try something new, spending more time with people, in person. I know, crazy concept but it seems to be helping. Let’s face it people on the internet, on social media platforms will argue […]

What the Monday is happening?

I hope your Monday goes well. Mine has already been very heavy on Monday. It started with my email not letting me sign in, even with the “second authentication”. I finally got in after a reboot and THREE tries. Then, for no reason at all my studio control board shut off. I also noticed there […]

It’s the most confusing time of the year!

Maybe not for you, but it is for me. It’s tax season again. Today (Monday January 26th) marks the start of the tax season and the IRS as of today will start excepting your tax returns. This might be a year to use a tax expert because things have changed quite a bit. Let’s face […]

But, it’s organized chaos!

Today, January 12th is National Clean Off Your Desk Day. A day set aside to start the new year with a ‘clean and organized’ desk. Here’s my 2-cents on this topic (and that’s all it’s worth). It’s whatever works for you. My wife has got to have a neat orderly desk, and she thrives that […]

Happy New Year???

Happy New Year???

Be careful with your “Happy New Year” wishes to people. A new survey says there are specific dates that we need to stop saying ‘happy new year’. If you’re texting someone you need to stop by January 3rd (you missed that window). If you’re going to wish a co-worker Happy New Year you have until […]

I missed you!

It’s great to be back after a little vacation! I hope you had a happy holiday season. Over the years there’s been times when I thought I shouldn’t come back from time off on a Monday, that maybe starting back at it would be better on a Tuesday or Wednesday but nonetheless here I am. […]

If you could, would you time travel?

You may not know this, but today, December 8th is “Pretend to be a time traveler day”. Of course, you’re not suppose to really time travel (unless you can) but you should wear clothes from the past and pretend to be confused by current technology. This is no problem for me, I love my ‘old’ […]

Wait, what happened?

A guy in Russia faked being carjacked because…he didn’t want to go shopping with his wife. Police arrested him for filing a false police report and could spend 2 years in jail. I say no jail time! Make him stay home for 2 years, and every time his wife goes shopping he must go with […]

Be careful, a Super Moon is coming!

Tomorrow night we’ll get to see another Super moon. The full moon will be bigger and brighter than a typical full moon. So, does that mean people will be more “off”? It seems that people act differently during a full moon. However, according to an A.I. search: the belief that people act “crazy” during a […]

Way too much candy!

Today is “bring your leftover candy to work” day. You’ve had enough candy, right? So, you bring it to work and share it with your coworkers. Of course, they’re doing the same thing. Here’s the problem, all the “good stuff” is gone. Looks like a lot of Smarties and sour candy in that breakroom. Next […]

Don’t eat the wax!

Halloween means all kinds of candy including candy corn which people seem to either love or hate. When I was a kid my favorite was wax candy bottles, wax candy flavored lips and mustaches! I think they’re still around. If you’ve never savored the one drop of yummy liquid in a wax bottle you are […]

It’s all gone!!

Have you finished your “Halloween candy” already? Is it time to reload so you actually have some for Halloween to hand out to the kids? This is why the candy companies put this on the store shelves in August, it’s brilliant. They know there is no way we’ll buy it and let it sit until […]

Sorry, I read that wrong!

You ever see a headline of an online story and realize it’s not what you thought it was going to be about? That happened today! I saw that it was National Nut Day and thought I should reach out to my sister and say hello. Then I read the story and it’s about NUTS that […]

This thing is disgusting!

A new study was done about the handles on gas pumps. The vast majority of them are covered with bacteria, feces and other bodily fluids. REGARDLESS of where you get gas. Experts suggest you wash your hands after fueling up your vehicle or at the very least use hand wipes. You might want to invest […]

How’s that workin’ out for you?

It happens to all of us, right? You order your food, you get your food, you take that first bite and out of nowhere someone from the waitstaff checks in with you. “How’s everything?” I don’t know about you but it’s hard to respond with a mouthful of food. I get it, they want to […]

Thursday is a weird day!

If you work Monday through Friday you may feel like Thursday is a weird day. Here’s my thought. It’s almost Friday, which means it’s almost the weekend. But, you have to make sure you’re caught up with your work because you don’t want it to pile up for Friday because you’ll be stressed trying to […]

Just put up more shelves!

Do you have a lot of stuff? We do. The problem is you never get rid of it “just in case we need it someday”. So, what do you do with that stuff? You build a shelf, you know so you have a place to store it. Problem is when you fill that shelf you […]

No Mail Service Today!

It’s a National holiday today. It’s Columbus day and Indigenous Peoples Day today which means no mail service. Could we add to that and make it no EMAIL day today too? Wouldn’t it be great to take a day off from non-stop emails. Maybe when Congress gets back to work they could get that done […]
