Miner...Back in his 20's

2009-02-19T10:19:00.000-08:00

I'm not in my 20's in age but in the 20's, the 2-20's with my weight...I weighed in at Weight Watchers last night and I weighed in at 229...That was a private goal that I set for myself before my r-n-r time...I hate to say it has been easy but it hasn't been difficult...I lost a total of 5.4 pounds last week...Wish me luck on vacation...That's all I've got for now...See you on the radio...Dan

It keeps on going

2009-02-12T09:13:00.000-08:00

Another week and 3 more pounds off...I've lost 33 so far and there is no end in sight...I'm happy with the way things are going so far...It's Thursday and I'm going back to do a "little" PA work on the Glens Falls Civic Center microphone...I'm doing the intros tonight for Senior Night for the South High Bulldogs and their regular PA announcer is a senior so...I was asked to do the Rats last game on the 7th but it was my daughter's birthday so I had to "scratch" myself from the game...That's it for now...See you on the radio...Dan

Back From Lake George

2009-02-07T12:16:00.000-08:00

Pete and I just got back from the Lake George Winter Carnival and the place was jamming...I don't recall in the last 10 years that many people out at the carnival...The beach was wall-to-wall people...It was good to see everyone and the weather was fantastic...That's all I've got...See you on the radio...Dan

Perfect and 30 gone

2009-02-04T17:59:00.000-08:00

First on the Superbowl...I thought is was an entertaining game...Second, I picked the score dead on...The score I wrote on Friday was the one that was dead on and the socre I posted on the blog was off by one, so I'll stick with the one that was perfect...I just got back from Weight Watchers and I'm happy to report that I lost 7 pounds last week bringing my total to 30 pounds gone from where I started 5 weeks ago...I have one word...WOW...My weight now stands at 237...Thanks to everyone for their support including my co-workers that want to feed my pizza, donuts and other things that aren't very good for me...It just shows that my will to succeed is strong...Bring it on...I can honestly say that I haven't watched one second of American Idol this season...It just bores me and makes me wonder whose America is it that idols a bunch of whiny no-talent bums that can't hold a candle to any of the performers on South Street on any given weekend...Did I mention that I lost another 7 pounds...One more thing...My wife, Lisa, signed me up at facebook.com and I must admit to having some fun connecting with old classmates, old friends, family and former co-workers...It's been fun...One more thing again...Happy birthdays going out this Saturday, the 7th, to the owner of WCKM, Clay Ashworth...He's like 50 or so...Happy birthday to the Gardenboy, Ken Leccese, 43 this week...Happy b-day K-Dog...Let's keep it going for another 20...And a very happy birthday going out to our daughter, Sophie's mom, Sarah Jo, celebrating another one on Saturday...Hope you all have a great day...That's all I've got...See you on the radio...Dan

Down & Dirty

2009-02-01T05:47:00.000-08:00

It's been a crazy week with the weather and everything else going on...First thing is that I lost another pound this week...That's not alot but I'm not disappointed...As far as the Superbowl goes, I'm picking the Steelers to beat the Cardinals 28-23...I love the Kurt Warner story, he seems like a good guy, but I have go with the Steelers with the pressure they can bring on the defensive side of the ball with just 4...That being said, I just read what Ken Leccese wrote on his blog, "The Greenhouse Effect", and now I'm concerned with the Leccese Curse...Steelers fans everywhere RUN FOR THE HILLS!!! Ken has picked your team...OUCH!!! That's it for now...See you on the radio...Dan

Going Down

2009-01-22T14:52:00.000-08:00

Here's my update after weighing in at Weight Watchers on Wednesday night...Another 6.6 pounds gone for a total weight loss of 22 pounds so far...I'm very happy with my results so far and I have to send a big thank you to my wife Lisa who does all the cooking for us...She's been spot on for our meals and snacks...My goal for next week is to lose 2 pounds...Wish me luck...On to a couple of other things...Talking to our friend, Queensbury High School teacher, Dan Kane, live from the middle of all the action in Washington, D.C. was very cool...When you can feel the excitement of an event over the air is special...Listening to what was going on In D.C. and to have someone right in the middle of it was neat...Now our new president needs to roll up his sleeves and get to work...I'm glad we have a week of football off for the Super Bowl...I'm going to have to wipe the sleep off my eyes to get motivated to watch this one...That's all for now...See you on the radio...Dan

Only 53 Left

2009-01-14T18:25:00.000-08:00

I just got back from Weight Watchers after the 1st week and here are the numbers...Weight lost in the 1st week...15.4 pounds...Current weight 252...Wow...I didn't think I lost that much but I am damn happy about that...The weight loss that I had for the 1st week is just from diet change and eating the right things...No 6 donut mornings or anything like that...I just ate healthy last week and I wasn't hungry...The new Momentum plan seems to be easy to follow and give you the help to keep you on the right track...It's very embarrassing to say I lost 15.4 pounds after just one week from changing my diet...I know what to do but I just wasn't doing it...Wish me luck going into week 2...That's all for now...See you on the radio..Dan

Nowhere near 100...I'm no Leccese and other things

2009-01-13T15:48:00.000-08:00

Congrats to Ken Leccese on his 100th blog entry...I'm sure somewhere in Chestertown there's another party I didn't get invited to...He actually is funny in his blog...I'm looking forward to going to Weight Watchers on Wednesday night to see where I am after one week...The new Momentum plan is easy to follow...I don't get on the scale between meetings...That kind of stuff would make me go crazy...I'll let you know how I make out after the meeting...The new season of 24 is back after 2 2-hour nights...I'm glad it's back, It's my favorite show...With the cold snap we are in now, I'm looking forward to pitchers and catchers reporting...That's it for now...See you on the radio...Dan

Here I Go

2009-01-08T13:31:00.000-08:00

With 2009 starting, I am now going back to Weight Watchers...Here is the Dan Miner starting weight...267.4...I would like to say I am surprised about that number but I guessed that I was at 270 so I'm 2 and a half pounds closer to my goal...My goal is ambitious at 200...I know it can be done so now it's off to work on it...24 hours in and it's going great, counting my points and planning what I'm going to eat...You need to plan to win and that's what I am doing...With 2009 now on us full throttle, my favorite tv show, 24, comes back on after ore than a year off, due to the writers strike...I can't wait for the 4 hours of 24 to start on Sunday night...I'm off now to drink a bottle of water...See you on the radio...Dan

2009 Stuff

2009-01-03T17:19:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year...I got a message from my old friend, Dave Strader, on Tuesday saying he was going to come out of the bullpen to announce the NHL's outdoor game in Chicago on New Years Day...Nothing against Mike Emerick, but Dave is the man...I love to watch games that Dave does...He's a local guy that has a way of doing the games without going overboard screaming and hollering about the smallest thing...When Dave gets excited, there's a great reason for it...He's not a hype man...I've had the pleasure of working with him for years and he is a semi-regular guest on the Morning Club...Happy New Year to you Dave and your family...A class act indeed...Congratultions to everyone that did the Polar Plunge in Lake George on New Years Day...I've done it before and you don't have to be nuts to do it...I hope all the participants come back out during the cold of February for the Lake George Winter Carnival and bring their friends and do it again...My one New Year's resolution was to lose weight and I am going back to Weight Watchers on Wednesday nights...I've done it before and I know it works...I will keep you up-to-date on my progress...The bad news about that is that the WCKM studio will be a NPZ...A Non-Pastry Zone...Wish me luck and kepp the goodies away from the studio when I'm in it...That's all for now...See you on the radio...Dan

Happy New Year

2008-12-31T15:21:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year from the Miner family...Our New Year's Eve celebrations are a little tamer than they used to be...We will be in the house with the kids & Sophie eating dinner, playing the wii system (poorly of course) and watching Sophie be Sophie...Sounds like a fun night...Now on to football...I will be the 1st to admit to not being a big college football fan for the regular season but I do enjoy the traditions of the bigger bowl games...The Tito's Nasty Toe Nail Removal Shop Bowl doesn't do it for me though...Turning to the pro ranks of football, I'm not that disappointed that the Patriots got shutout of the playoffs due to the Jets & Brett Favre choking, they had a good season with all the injuries they suffered...I can't wait til next season...My picks for the Superbowl are the Giants and the Colts...Where will Archie & Mrs. Manning stand or sit at that one...I hope we will find out...Have a great 2009 & may you stick to your resolutions for at least the weekend...See you on the radio...Dan

Ho Ho Ho

2008-12-24T18:53:00.000-08:00

I just wanted to drop a couple of lines of Christmas cheer to you, the blog reader...I'm looking forward to spending time with the family over the next few days...I can't wait to see my granddaughter, Sophie, having a blast on Christmas day...She has been under the weather for the past week and she is finally feeling better...I've got a few memories of Christmas' past for ya...When I was a younger "Danny Miner" and was an alter boy with my brother Eric in Troy at St. Francis de Sales, midnight mass on Christmas eve was always a big deal...My brother was the shortest alter boy among the guys, so he had the important duty of holding the baby Jesus thru the mass...We went thru rehearsals and we were waiting in the basement of the church to get things going and my brother was tossing the baby Jesus with another one of the alter boys like a football...One of the priest came down to see what was happening and Eric got thwacked...Funny stuff...I'm having a great belly laugh as I write this...My grandmother, the late Sally Juckett, always had a big Christmas Eve party and when I 1st started in radio in Ticonderoga, I was the low man on the totem pole and worked on Christmas Eve on the air...She called me up when I was on the air and asked me to play "her" song...So of course I did it and she would tell everyone at the party that I was playing her song, Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer...I'm still belly laughing...One more to go here...I've told this one on the air a few times...It was the last Christmas that I spent with my father in 1977...Our house in Gull Bay in Putnam had this huge ceiling that went up 30 feet next to a set of stairs...He decided to go cut our Christmas tree to go up the 30 feet next to the stairs...He didn't measure it...He got the tree into the house and it, the tree, was a least 35 feet tall, probably more...He was fueled by Genny, took out the chain saw, started it up in the house and made the necessary trims...Good times...But wait, there's more...Once the tree was in the house for a day or 2, the critters that were in the tree dormant decided to come out and infest the house...Good times...Good lessons to learn from that...I'm looking forward to making some new Christmas memories that don't involve infestations or tossing a baby Jesus around...Maybe Elmo & Patsy will get together for old time sake and write a new Christmas classic, "Papa Got Run Over By A Reindeer"...I won't mind it one bit...Have a Merry Christmas...See you on the radio...Dan

No moaing or griping here

2008-12-20T04:15:00.000-08:00

It's 7:15 on a Saturaday morning and I'm just waiting for some more daylight to pop up so I can go out here at the Miner homestead and snowblow for a couple of hours...I refuse to complain about the moving of snow...This is life in the North Country...It's gonna snow...It's the time of the year when everyone around the Radio Ranch beats up on me about not ever watching "A Christmas Story"...I am making a serious effort to watch it but I will make no promises...I just found out a couple of minutes ago that my wife, Lisa, has not watched it either...I knew she was perfect for me...Hockey is making headlines again in Glens Falls...Here's what I have to say about it...No comment...Thanks to everyone that had anything to do with our Adopt-A-Child program and with or annual Morning Club Celebrity Auction...There are many kids that will be thanking you come Thursday morning...Thanks...See you on the radio...Dan

It's been a long time...

2008-12-02T08:13:00.001-08:00

In know it has been awhile since I posted, Pete isn't sure whre the on/off toggle switch is. This time of the year around "The Radio Ranch" is just crazy. 800 children were adopted for the Adopt-A-Child program this year. I must send out some special Thank You's. Debbie Cameron at the GFPD. Debbie checks in all the gifts when they come in. Wendy Matthews of Operation Santa Claus. Wendy is in charge of getting the list of children to us. With everything else that goes on with Op Santa, it is a huge undertaking. Ken "The Mule" Leccese. Ken has been busy bringing gifts from the radio station over to the police station. Ken has brought over at least 15 truck loads of gifts. Dave Petta at Fitzgerald Brothers Beverages. Dave came up with the idea for the Adopt-A-Child program over 9 years ago. This program is bigger than I ever thought it would be. Thanks for getting behind this community effort Dave. And one more Thank you to all that adopted children, Thanks for all you have done. Our next big deal is our 10th Annual Morning Club Celebrity Auction. It's coming up on the 11th & 12th. Listen for all the details. I'll also put a complete listing of all the items up for auction this weekend. I have a couple of Post-Thanksgiving thoughts. NFL...Puh-leeze take the Lions off the Turkey Day games...Enough is enough...Idots that are rude during holiday shopping, check it at your door, try to be civil...I must convince my wife to cook a turkey...We had dinner at my mother-in-law's & at my parents but I really miss the leftovers and turkey sandwiches...That's it for now...See you on the radio...Dan

Where was Leccese?

2008-10-31T10:23:00.000-07:00

I'll start off by saying thanks to Ken for filling in for me while I was away on vacation...Now on to my "Where was Leccese?" questions...Where was Leccese when he was picking Indy over Tennessee on Monday night? He must have been drinking some dead pond water somewhere with that outstanding pick...Thanks for nothing Kenny...The second "Where was Leccese?" question is, Ken I didn't see you on the field at Lake George High School at Bearskin Bowl III, did you play? I didn't even have the chance to hit you once...Maybe next year...I want to send out a special thank you to the Bearskin Bowl folks for the invite again this year...If you'll have us again, we'll be there...Now on to the NFL...The Morning Club's picks for this week...Pete & I both like the Bills & the Giants to win...Pete likes the Pats and I like the Colts to win on Sunday night...The Monday nighter we disagree...Pete likes the Steelers and I like the Skins...You know, for about 2 hours on Wednesday night, I was 17 again, playing some football and forgetting that I was a 43 year old grandfather...I was back to being Danny Miner for 2 hours...Thanks...See you on the radio...Dan

Thanks

2008-10-23T16:08:00.000-07:00

I'm taking a few days off to go to do what I call "catching"! Most others call it "fishing". Not me. I'm letting Ken do my football picks for this week, so I'll let him get you up to date on the picks for the weekend. On the topic of football, coming up on Wednesday night under the lights at Lake George High School at 6pm, a bunch of old guys, some older than others, that are the faculty of the Warrensburg and Lake George schools will be getting together to play some flag football to benefit a Lake George family that has a bad run of it in the past year and to benefit Operation Santa Claus from Warrensburg and Lake George. I'm switching teams this year, I was part of a "trade" with Mark Bliebtrey, a fellow Whitehaller. It doesn't matter which team I'm on. Getting out for the night, playing some football, seeing some old friends and raising some money for some folks is more than enough for me. Playing football is something I've always enjoyed from the time I was a little kid in Troy playing Pop Warner, to playing for The Ticonderoga Sentinels in middle school, to playing for The Whitehall Railroaders and winning the 1982 Super Bowl versus Mechanicville at East Field, playing football Sunday afternoons at the playground in Whitehall for more years than I can remember and coaching at Whitehall for a few years. Even at 43, I've got to send a special Thank you out to all of my coaches, my teammates and my players that have been with me all these years. Thanks to all of you. While on the topic of thanks, my 11th anniversary at WCKM is Monday October 27th. In radio, 11 years at the same station is almost unheard of. Some of my best friends in the world I get to work with on a daily basis. Pete, Festus, Ken, Brian, Mike, Mark, Max & Steve as well as everyone else at the ranch, thanks for making the last 11 years very memorable ones. I also want to send out sincere thanks to all of our loyal listeners and sponsors. Without you, I don't have a clue what I'd be doing. Keep your fingers crossed that I'll be able to walk on Thursday and that Ken doesn't get in my way. See you on the radio...Dan

What is Ringo thinking? Bubba behave!

2008-10-17T17:50:00.001-07:00

We, Pete & I, have had alot of fun at Ringo Starr's expense...My question all week long has been, "Is there that much demand for Ringo's autograph that he has to warn people not to ask for an autograph?"...Why did he have to bother to issue a statement or do a youtube video...I'm warning you with Peace & Love...John Lennon is probably tolling over in his grave with laughter...I know he was the drummer for the greatest band in the history of rock n roll but he has flipped his lid...He should be somewhat thankful that anyone still remembers him enough to ask him for an autograph...The least talented of all the Beatles demanding all this attention...This makes me almost wish Paul was back in the news with what's her name...Don't worry Ringo, I've made my last request with Peace & Love...Another thing We had fun with this week was Brian Delaney's voice mail message calling off on Monday night after a hard night of Livin' La Vida Loca...Ricky Martin must be rolling over in his grave after Brian's call(I know he isn't dead yet, but I'm getting a head start on the rush)...Like my grandma used to say, "If you're going to pee with the seat down, you'll have a wet seat next time?"...No, the one I was thinking of was, "If you're gonna play, you're gonna pay!!!"...Thanks Brian for some fun at your expense...We've been pals for 25 years and you still crack me up...If you haven't checked out Brian's Blogs yet, do so...They are funny...As far as the Morning Club's football picks for the week, Pete & I agree on all of them...The Giants, The Jets, The Buc & The Patriots...I can't remember about the Bills/Chargers game...I don't think it matters much...With Peace & Love, I''ll see you on the radio...Dan

The Club's picks for another week

2008-10-10T08:14:00.000-07:00

Last week, we, Pete & me, picked our games for the weekends NFL games and they were the same...Boring...This week it's not as bad...The Jets take on the Bengals and we both pick the Jets to win...You notice, we didn't say we both like the Jets...Sunday night, the team we both root for, the New England Patriots, go out west to take on the San Diego Chargers...I took me awhile before I agreed with Pete that we will both pick the Pats...The Monday night match-up has the NY Giants at Cleveland to take on the Browns...I'm staying on the Giants bandwagon until they take a dumper but Pete thinks this is the week the G-men go down to the Browns...Go Giants...That's all I've got for now...See you on the radio...Dan

Are you worthy of a Fist Bump?

2008-10-07T07:44:00.000-07:00

Monday night TV viewing and dvr-ing is a scream at my house...From 8 til 10, both CBS & NBC are dvr-ed...I usually watch the CBS shows live because at half-an-hour a pop, I can commit to watching and I know there will be a quiz with both Ken & John Pratt...Last night during "How I Met Your Mother", Barney was in New Jersey with the rest of the crew and he had a very lame pun and was looking for the Fist Bump...The art of the Fist Bump is something that men & women that participate in the art of the Fist Bumping should know the rules...If you are lame and request a Fist Bump, you should be left hanging and have your Fist Bumping privileges taken away...Men & women Fist Bump way too much...We have the NY Yankees to blame for this cultural epidemic...During their great run in the late 1990's & 2000's, Joe Torre & the team took the Fist Bump to artistic greatness...Now I have people around the ranch that want to Fist Bump for the littlest thing..Ken wanted me to Fist Bump the other day for something like breathing...Brian wanted a Fist Bump for doing his job...Another staffer(who shall remain nameless) wanted a Fist Bump for showing up on time...Mike wanted a Fist Bump for saying hi to a lady...Enough is enough...You'll get a Fist Bump when you deserve one...Until then, I'm going to leave you hanging...Here's to your arm being sore for awhile...See you on the radio...Dan

Trying to hold off on the heat and more

2008-10-04T05:41:00.000-07:00

I tried to hold off on turning the heat on at our house as long as I could but on Friday night when the temperatures hit the low 40's, my cement head had to give in to my wife...Lisa wins every time...She's just much smarter than me...If there is one chore I hate doing, it's raking leaves...I try not to do it...I usually take out the lawn mower and put the bag on it and mulch them and put them in the barrel and put them out front...I' not looking forward to doing it...I think my godson, LT, will be making a couple of bucks from his Uncle Dan...Now onto the Morning Club's picks for the NFL this week...Not alot of fun here this week for Pete and me...We agree that the Giants will beat the Seahawks...The Cards will bounce back and beat the Bills...The Pats go out west and take out the 49ers...And we both like the Saints at home Monday night over the Vikings in a slugfest...Sorry about that...Hopefully I won't be the sorry one come Monday when Pete & I check out our pool standings...The Curse Of Cloutier is sleeping this weekend I hope...One more thing, Happy belated birthday Dave Thomas, you old coot...That's it for now...See you on the radio...Dan

I pulled a Homer Simpson-Duh-oh!

2008-09-29T09:28:00.000-07:00

I tried to get our week 4 picks in and my laptop went on the fritz...Here comes the picks for the NFL...Pete & I both liked the Bills over the Rams and the Jets over the Cards...Pete had the Bears & I had the Eagles and the Monday nighter I've got the Ravens & Pete has the Steelers...Or maybe it's the opposite...The concert on Friday night at the Dome was so much fun...To watch guys that have been lifelong friends get up on stage to re-create some magic for a night is just awesome...Pete has worked with all of these folks since they were kids and I've known all of them since I was a kid...It was a great night...I want to send out a special thanks to Jesse Fish & his crew that did the Adopt-A-Child motorcycle ride this past Saturday...$1,000 was raised to purchase gifts for the kids at Christmas...My D-V-R is on overload for the early part of the new tv season...I record alot of shows then pick which ones are worth watching again along with my old favorites...When I had my VCR, I never recorded anything, now I record alot to accomodate my schedule...That's all I've got...See you on the radio...Dan

Week 3 of the NFL and other stuff?

2008-09-20T17:24:00.000-07:00

Here we go for picks for the 3rd week of the NFL season...I have a 2 game lead on Pete on the season's picks...It should be noted that Dave Thomas was in for Pete, so I'll use Dave's picks...Both of us like the Giants will beating the Rams silly...We both took the Patriots over the Dolphins...Now the fun stuff...Dave took the Raiders over the Bills and I'm getting on the Bills bandwagon this week...The Monday nighter has the Jets going out to the west coast to take on the very unlucky Chargers...Before I go any further, Dave knows nothing and I mean nothing about football...Dave is taking the Jets on the west coast and I'm going with the Chargers to get lucky and win...Now to other stuff...It'll be a busy week with all sorts of season debuts for shows on the boob tube and a weekend that is jammed with all sorts of fun stuff to do...I just hope this weekend's weather goes thru next week...Concert a Crandall Park on Friday...The Motorcycle ride for the Adopt-A-Child program on Saturday and The Taste Of The North Country on Sunday...Keep your fingers crossed...That's it for now...See you on the radio...Dan

The Club's picks for week 2 of the NFL

2008-09-13T15:03:00.000-07:00

Last week, Pete & I had the same picks for the week...Not a lot of fun there...So here we go for week 2...The 1st game is The NY Giants vs The St. Louis Rams...The Gmen looked good for the 1st 3 drives then...The just stink...We both like the Giants...The next game has The Buffalo Bills against The Jacksonville Jaqs...Neither of us had the Bills or the Jags right last week...In a coin flip we both took the Jags...Next up is a game that had the potential to be a big one til Brady went down & out for the Pats for the season...I am a lifelong Patriots fan...Pete became one when Doug Flutie came back a few years ago...Pete said right away...The Pats easy over the Jets...I had to think long and hard...A big chore on any day for me...I finally picked the Pats by 3...I hope I'm right on this one or it could be a long week...The final game we'll pick this week is the Monday nighter with the Philadelphia Eagles at the Dallas Cowboys...Pete is going with Don Henley & Glenn Frey and the Eagles...I believe in curses or jinxes or superstitions but I don't believe Jessica Simpson is any of those...With that being said I'm going with the Cowboys...I hope watching football will be better...I won't be watching any of the pre-game shows...I've got to watch some paint dry instead...See you on the radio...Dan
