Hal Knows A Guy is all about introducing you to good people who do great work. Like Del’s Exteriors! #Winnipeg

CONGRATS, BOMBERS!!! Every home game this season has been a sellout. That’s never happened before. The streak of sellouts is actually 14 straight games @ Princess Auto Stadium which dates back to last August. Wow! Congrats to everyone with the team! GO BLUE!!! #Winnipeg

I’d like to thank local artist Rachel Lancaster for doing such a great job with my mural on south St. Mary’s at Ellesmere. It’s my way of celebrating over 40 years on the radio and all the support #Winnipeg and #Manitoba have shown me. Thank you for continuing to listen!

I’m so excited about this! To celebrate my 40+ years on the radio, I’ve commissioned #Winnipeg artist Rachel Lancaster to paint a mural on the side of a building that I own. I’m a big fan of her work. She just started today. Any early guesses as to what it’s going to be?

It’s been a fantastic experience to partner with Del’s Exteriors! A great #Winnipeg company that’s been doing stucco & so much more for 70 years. I highly recommend them.

U2!

I appreciate the message, Rick! I’ll try and be a bit more patient next time you call in.

MANITOBA'S BEST BURGER!

Le Burger Week says Carlo's Cucina in Gimli is once again tops in #Manitoba. Its Taste of the Interlake burger was also a close 2nd to the national winner in Montreal. Congrats also to 2 other locals in the top 5 in Canada, PVG Street Eats and Jonesy's.

Alien or not? It’s a Weird Wednesday on Connecting #Winnipeg tomorrow. Make sure you tune to 680 CJOB between 10 & noon.

I was 11. That’s the year I got a Hot Wheels Racing Set, a Six Million Dollar Man Action Figure and a Pet Rock. What was the best Christmas gift you got as a kid? I think for me it was my Lionel Electric Train Set. By the way, Xmas 2025 is exactly four months away.

Le Burger Week so far! 4 of the top 5 burgers in Canada are here in #Manitoba. You’ve got until Sunday to try over 160 local burgers and vote for your favourites. #Winnipeg

Sorry but this is all that’s left of my favourite fast food breakfast sandwich from Robin’s in Gimli. Sausage, egg & cheese on an everything bagel. Mmmm! I hope you’re having a great long weekend!

What a great little show! Mr. InBetween in an Australian dark comedy about a bad guy who has a good heart. Season 3 just dropped on Disney+. Half hour episodes make it a quick & enjoyable stream. If you’re looking for something different, give this a try.

JJ’s is an international chain with almost 3,000 locations in North America so they’re in blue states too. Just good sandwiches, whatever your political stripe, and I’m glad a Winnipegger is bringing two stores to our city where local people will have jobs.

I actually pointed out that I no longer visit GF. Maybe give my post another read…

I can’t wait! Jimmy John’s is opening soon in #Winnipeg. Polo Park & Pembina. I haven’t done it since Trump got elected again but any trip to Grand Forks always included a stop at JJ’s for my favourite fast food sub The Gargantuan.

Lake Winnipeg is much lower than usual this summer!

It’s also a bit breezy and cool by the water today but what a great way to spend an afternoon. #SandyHook

Anybody being impacted by looming strike/lockout at Air Canada that would talk to me on the radio about it this afternoon? Message me. Thanks!

I’m filling in again this week & next on CJOB’s afternoon show. And you know what that means…The 5:30 Club is back for another run! Make sure you tune in for a full half hour of fun radio with me, Brian Barkley and Fiona Odlum. #Winnipeg

YouTube video by CJOB680 Hal's Wedding Video

13 years ago today, I married the love of my life. Soon after the wedding, I was laid up with a serious back issue & I also lost my job. Despite that & much more, Jackie has loved & supported me more than I thought possible. I love you so much, Babe! m.youtube.com/watch?v=mHRL...

I’m lovin’ this new celebrity couple!

If you’re at Boardwalk Days this weekend, be sure you visit the Winnipeg Beach Historical Society’s new museum at 30-Robinson. This impressive diorama from the 1940s is on display there. Special thanks to Home Hardware and Sundance Construction for donating supplies and labour.

It doesn’t get any better than this! Check out the view as I enjoy a morning coffee on the deck at my cottage before it gets too hot. #Blessed #SandyHook

HAL NEEDS A GUY!!!

Or gal, whichever. I need a good stucco person to help me out with some advice & possibly their services. I’ve got a very bumpy stucco wall on the outside of a building that I want to smooth out or grind down so a mural can be painted on it. Anyone?#Winnipeg

The City of #Winnipeg is adding traffic calming curbs to streets in over a dozen areas to slow down drivers. What do you think?

I’m in need of a good painter. Any recommendations? Thanks! #Winnipeg

A knock on the door of my cottage brought wth it a very cool gift from a listener. Boyd gave me this vintage gold pen. It’s one of the most special collectibles I’ve ever acquired. I started at CKY radio in 1989 and also worked at the TV station too. Thank you, Boyd! #Winnipeg

I didn’t explain this properly other day. On the 3rd anniversary of my mom Ada’s passing, a baby butterfly kept landing near me. Butterflies are believed to be messengers from the spiritual world. This beautiful monarch was definitely a message from my mom on a tough day.
