Here you can share in some of those memories. Also, if you have somethig to add, tell bob and let him know!en-usCopyright 2010, WDRK-FMTue, 07 Sep 2010 15:46:49 GMTTue, 25 May 2010 12:22:18 GMT1http://emmisinteractive.comI was walking around my neighborhood the other day when I saw one of these things:  an old school Slip and Slide.  I remember begging Mom and Dad for one when I was a kid.  Nothing beat a hot summer day more than setting that on the lawn, plugging in the hose, and going to town.  My friend was the most popular kid on the block because he had one.  And I was jealous.  Alas, having one myself wasn't meant to be.  I guess that's a good thing, since our lawn was more rocks than grass, anyway.  That certainly wouldn't have been any fun. http://www.bobfm999.com/Blog/BobRemembers/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10114818http://www.bobfm999.com/Blog/BobRemembers/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10114818Tue, 25 May 2010 12:22:18 GMTI remember taking in a show at the Fanny Hill Dinner Theatre in 2001.  I enjoyed myself, but haven't found myself going back there since.  Has it changed at all?  I wonder if it's still the same cast of characters...   Bob http://www.bobfm999.com/Blog/BobRemembers/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10113687http://www.bobfm999.com/Blog/BobRemembers/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10113687Tue, 18 May 2010 13:05:05 GMTI heard on the news today that the city of Eau Claire will not be allowing residents to own chickens on their property.  In other words, if you want chickens, you better own a farm.  That makes sense to me.  It's tough enough to weave around the neighborhood in my scooter while trying to avoid all the kids, dogs, and parked cars.  I couldn't handle dealing with chickens, too.  Those guys are shifty.  Just when you think they are going to cross in front of you, they suddenly decide to bolt over to the other side of the road, just because they had to get there.  And I don't care what anyone says...chickens make a lot of noise, and they are more annoying than the neighbor dog that always yips at 6 in the morning. What was the last "unconventional" pet you owned?   Bob       http://www.bobfm999.com/Blog/BobRemembers/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10112623http://www.bobfm999.com/Blog/BobRemembers/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10112623Wed, 12 May 2010 12:14:34 GMTIn the upcoming weeks I am going to have some special goings-on here with my "Bob Remembers" blog, so be sure to check back frequently.  When I say special, of course I mean free stuff for you to win!  Details coming soon!  In the meantime, keep those memories coming.  Also, I love old pictures of "things that were" around the Chippewa Valley.  If we get enough together, we could have a nice bulletin board full of stuff for everyone to look at and enjoy.    Bob http://www.bobfm999.com/Blog/BobRemembers/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10099757http://www.bobfm999.com/Blog/BobRemembers/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10099757Fri, 26 Feb 2010 17:49:52 GMTI went to Wagner's on Sunday to enjoy the Vikings game...and I got to remembering how there used to be 66 1/2 bowling lanes in the building.  Seeing that there are only 26 makes me sad.  Plus I don't have any pictures of what it used to look like.  Does anyone have a picture I could borrow? http://www.bobfm999.com/Blog/BobRemembers/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10091700http://www.bobfm999.com/Blog/BobRemembers/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10091700Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:49:21 GMTI am working on a new feature to add to the website.  There are a lot of things that have come and gone in the Chippewa Valley, and I would like to take some time to remember them.  With your help, I think we could all create a nice trip down memory lane!    A couple of days ago, a listener sent me a nice link from waaaaaaay back.  Joe writes: ...I do remember going to Fournier's on Friday nights to see bands in the late 60's and 70's until torn down in 1972. Then there were/are the ThunderMen. Good old rock and roll! These guys played in and around Eau Claire for years and as far as I know, still do. I also remember going to the Pines in Bloomer on Saturday nights to see bands. I like Bob Remembers on the radio. It brings back memories from the ...http://www.bobfm999.com/Blog/BobRemembers/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10078256http://www.bobfm999.com/Blog/BobRemembers/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10078256Fri, 08 Jan 2010 17:46:07 GMTI remember a lot of things.  Some of them I would like to forget.  The Storm of 1980 is definitely one of those things.  On July 15th of that year, a huge storm with straight-line winds of over 100 miles per hour pounded the area that evening.  The monetary damage was amazing:  nearly $160 million for all of the counties affected.  I remember watching "Blazing Saddles" on my betamax player when the storm hit.  I've never experienced anything like that since, nor do I wish to.  Luckily, my car was ok...as was my house.  But I had no power for days.  (That made it kind of difficult to play my new Pink Floyd album.  I really liked "The Wall".)  What do you remember of the storm? Add your comments and memories below.  I'll post 'em to see what others remember, too.   Bob  http://www.bobfm999.com/Blog/BobRemembers/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10068047http://www.bobfm999.com/Blog/BobRemembers/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10068047Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:31:13 GMT
