I am counting down my final days here at K99 and reminiscing about some of the moments that have stood out over the past 30 years. There are some great moments and some painful ones but these are some of the ones that have stood out. Today's memory falls into the painful category.

Don't look now but this Denver Bronco team is sneaking up on people. This has turned into a very exciting young team to watch. They are getting better and better every week and Sunday's are getting fun again. I am really liking the energy this team is playing with.

There are certain moments that you never forget. I have been on the radio for many of those over my 30 year career. I was on the air when the 9/11 attacks occurred and that is one day that will stay with me forever. Another one of those was the Spring Creek Flood of 97 in Fort Collins.

One of my favorite memories over the years is without a doubt Brantley Gilbert and my Twinkie tattoo. I love my tattoos and have a few very cool ones and one that is just plain odd...that would be my Twinkie. I lost a Twinkie eating contest years ago and the loser had to get a tattoo of a Twinkie on their body.

I have had so many people contact me to congratulate me on 'retiring'. I need to be clear...I AM NOT RETIRING, I am just moving on to what is next in life. I feel incredible and am looking forward to finding out what exciting adventure awaits my wife and I next. I am open to wherever the river leads me but I do have a plan as well.

There are some people that were just born to do what they do. Josh Turner is one of those people. He was blessed with a voice that was made for us to enjoy and listen to. I can't imagine what a waste it would have been if he was just fixing toilets or roofing houses and only his coworkers ever heard him sing.

I am counting down some of my favorite moments of my career here at K99 as I get ready to ride off into the sunset on January 25 after the Habajeeba Show at the UCCC. I have had the greatest career anyone in radio could dream of and have had many memorable moments and I am enjoying sharing a few.

I am reliving some of my most vivid, fun, odd or important moments of my radio career as we countdown to my departure on January 25. I have less than 40 shows to go and I am sure going to miss being on the radio with you each day. I thank you again for giving me a life that is beyond anyone's wildest dreams

I am reliving some of my favorite memories of my 30+ years at K99 as we wind down to a close of this chapter in my life. I am featuring a different memory each day to reflect on. Today we go back to the very first big time concert intro we ever did at K99.

My countdown to leaving K99 is at 37 shows to go and then wrap it all up January 25 at the UCCC in Greeley for The Last Habajeeba Show. I plan on continuing to spread my message and try to make the world a kinder and happier place. Here are some thoughts the hit me this week to keep me in the right frame of mind. March tall Warriors.

Todd and I are down to 38 shows left together and I am counting down by featuring some of my favorite or most impactful moments of my 30+ years here at K99. I have been having a great time reliving some of these in my brain. Goodbye is hard but this has sure been one heck of a ride.

I am very excited about the future. I plan on trying to influence, encourage and change the world one encounter at a time. I have big plans and part of that is spreading my message that you can overcome anything if you are driven enough. I have a chance to spread that message where my new life began on Saturday.
