Key Moments
- Warm-Up Continues, Fire Danger Rises: The cool start will be quickly replaced by warm temperatures, with a high of 70∘F today and 75∘F tomorrow. Winds will be 10–20 mph. The dry conditions have prompted a special weather statement for near critical fire weather conditions in northwestern and west-central Minnesota, including Clay, Norman, and Wilkin counties.
- Laney's "Feel the Love" Surprise: Laney's, in partnership with Lennox, dramatically chose two families (instead of the planned one) to receive free, complete HVAC systems (furnace and AC). The installation for both deserving families will take place this Friday, with Laney's crew volunteering their time. The winners will be revealed at 9:06 AM on the Coffee Club.
- Rebuilding Together Fundraiser: Cassie Skalicki of Rebuilding Together, a non-profit that provides essential home repairs and modifications for homeowners in need, is holding a "mini event" fundraiser this Friday at Junkyard West in West Fargo. A portion of pint sales and hammerschlag proceeds will go toward their $31,000 goal for the end of winter. The non-profit currently has a waiting list to get on its waiting list due to high demand.
- Fargo Crime & Search Update:
- The man federally indicted for allegedly pointing an AR-style handgun in the Bell Bank parking lot on Broadway is set to stand trial in December.
- Fargo Police Lieutenant Tom Shaw says the search for murder suspect Tyreek Jones has gone nationwide, though he has not yet been caught.
- Electric Tractors on the Farm: WDAY Ag Director Bridgette Readel discusses the future of electric tractors. She notes smaller operations like orchards could be a good fit, with a potential sale price of $30,000 cheaper than traditional models. However, battery life, waterproofing, and horsepower remain limiting factors for large-scale operations.
- National Taco Day: The hosts remind listeners that National Taco Day is tomorrow, Tuesday, October 8th, though the hosts joked it's practically every day.
- National Pet Obesity Awareness Day: The show notes that today is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day, and Jace Denman's cat, Leo, who was recently found to be over 25 lbs, is discussed as an example of a pet who may need a lifestyle change. Jace also mentioned his other cat, Ray, who is "super picky" but has a weakness for popcorn.
- Question of the Morning: Home Project Procrastination: The question asks, "What home project do you keep putting off or procrastinating on?" Listeners mentioned deep cleaning the oven, decluttering crawl spaces, and putting up wire mesh to protect a new burning bush from rabbits.
