Yes. Would be fun to have a CP coffee night with Ken babbling in the background!

You bet Ill be back for the Canada day show! Needless to say it will be all Canadian music. More than that I haven't figured out yet. And yes i babble very nicely according to my long suffering wife.

Just so you know i will be gone again for two weeks in July after the July show and then we'll see.

Sorry guys, just tested twice for Covid today and the tests show positive which would explain a lot the last few days. The show will be a repeat. Back when I can be.

Oh crap, sorry to hear that. Get well soon Ken.

How are you doing Ken?

Hi Carl thanks for asking. Spent the best part of last night at the hospital. Appears that i have had some internal bleeding for the last week or so. Wasn't just Covid I guess. Getting checking in and checked out today with a couple of cameras (if you know what i mean) Should be on the mend in a day or two. Still no new shows right away as i was supposed to go back the the Airtankers on Wednesday so as soon as I am discharged I likely will head out for that, if I can. I'll keep you posted if you want.

I really have to talk to the station about the repeats though. it appears they mangled me again.

oh no! sorry to hear you are having some health trouble. hope you get well soon. i was listening while driving in from the cabin, so i didnt know what was up, all i knew was that it was the same show as last week. I kept listening tho, just incase it got switched 1/2 way thru!

Oh ouch, all the best with that. Yes, please keep us updated.

Hi Guys again, sorry about the show but life gets in the way sometimes eh?

Here is a summary of my recent events and prognosis of me and the show.

June 22, working in Edson with the airtankers. Ate an appetizer at the pub, Up all night with food poisoning. Had strong suspicions i was bleeding inside. I wont go into details.

June 23 - July 1, I tried to fake it enough to stay at work but had to go home early. Didn't get any better at home so finally checked into local hospital . They gave me some hemoglobin and other stuff and wanted to get a look inside there.

July 2. Was scheduled for the multi- probe job but got cancelled after i did the prep. Some of you will know what that involves and it ain't pleasant.

July 5 Have to take a trip to Edmonton. once that's done and result checked, we'll see but already much better. Now i have to try to balance my work schedule so I can make for up lost time so really not sure really when the show will be live again. Soon as possible though!

Anyway it's been a good experience in many ways as got a pass out till 1800 tonight and my home has and wifey have never looked sweeter.

Apparently one of the side effects is excessive sentimentality which my wife says to knock off.

Ouch, no fun. Thanks for the update and great that it's a good one.

Are you back in the saddle Ken?

66 Grande guy · Canadian Poncho Superstar!

Hi Carl I'm actually back at work withe the airtankers in Whitecourt for today so the show will be another repeat. Talked to the Manager and it will be a different one than last week but don't know which. Hopefully not the Christmas show. Cheers!

As much as we want the show back, it's more important that you are back to work. That sounds great!

4SPEED427 · A Poncho Legend!

I know it was a replay but I'm glad I checked. It must have been one that I missed last year.

66 Grande guy · Canadian Poncho Superstar!

I actually listened to myself for the first time. Not too bad. Glad you liked it!

66 Grande guy · Canadian Poncho Superstar!

Hi guys I'm still back at work with the tankers so this show will also be a repeat. I will get a hold of the manager to make sure it wont be the same one as last week. Enjoy if you can! Next Monday should be a new one!

4SPEED427 · A Poncho Legend!

What do you have for us tonight Ken? Fresh, new envigorating, thought provoking (and so on and so on) content? Or boring old reruns?

66 Grande guy · Canadian Poncho Superstar!

Well now that I'm back to my important job of entertaining old men from my usual hobby of flying around Alberta dumping red stuff on fires I can say there will be a new show tonight and it will be pretty much all Canadian! Now if I hadn't caught a summer cold from the pilot that shared the same cockpit as me for the last week, i would really be ready but growly ken will have to do!

4SPEED427 · A Poncho Legend!

Shoot, seems like you either do a cold or Covid, no in between!

Looking forward to hearing your growly old voice live on the air again.

I may even listen to the show in the garage while I work on an old yellow Pontiac that I finally have a bit of time for again (after it gathered dust for most of the summer)
