Do your kids ignore you!

Do your kids ignore you! Well look at my daughters, one has a pillow over her ears and the other just plainly ignoring me. No, really I was sitting in my chair and looked over and the pillow had fallen over Lucy's head. She kept on sleeping for around a hour. the two beagles could sleep throught a earthquake!

Light show in the Sky!

I found this on the comcast home page, it's over Atlanta. I just love thunder and lightning. We might possibly have a storm coming in tonight and yes, RAIN. I know for those that do not live in the Northwest, think that all it does is rain here, your wrong! We have had very little rain and it is getting to look like California, LOL! I am hoping that the big rain will hold off until after the Big E World Of Outlaw weekend. We have planned this for a long time now.

Later Monte!

Little League World Series

Hey are you watching the Little League World Series. These little guys play with so much hart. I don't remember having the high level of skills like these little leaguers do, it's amazing the talent of these twelve year old's. You also have to take off your hat off to the couches, officials, parents and the league for putting on a great show. All the kids from every country look like they are all having the time of their life's. The boys from Mercer Island made it to the series they will not be playing in the finals, but they have really played well to even make it this far. We are proud of you M.I. Little League!

For now, Monte

Montana bound!

We spent the day loading the trailer with animals heading to Montana. There is more that are needed to be transported in a safer trailer. After loading the trailer we headed home to do more motor home repairs. I added some lights and Greg tuned up the Carb so that I will get a little more mileage, Hopefully it will improve. Right now I get around 6 mile per gallon, I'm hope it will be 8. See ya, Monte

Come join us at the World Of Outlaws at Grays Harbor Speedway in Elma Washington, you will love it if you like racing.

For now, Monte

HOW TRUE!!!!!!!!!!

Canine Designs

Hey dog lovers I found this website on a Google search and look what I found. This is a drawing of "Libbi" done by I think her name is Kelly Thommes. Anyway she has a great eye for drawing dogs, check out her site at Canine Designs. This beagle looks a lot like Bailey, just look at the eyes. Baileys ears have now darkened much more since the photo above was taken. If you get time check out this site.

Later, Monte

MLB TAKE A BOW, FOR YOUR STUPIDITY!

Stupidity that's a under statement! This is one of the most dumb ass rulings that M.L.B. has sent down. They ruled that the Mariners Pitchers could not have their Gladiator helmets in the bullpen anymore. The players wanted to have that gladiator mentality and have a little personality. Well with all the drug problems and more serious issues in baseball, they have to rule on petty crap! Well the beagles are going to protest with a little armor of their own, Bite this M.L.B.!

Rant by Monte

Rain, rain, go away!

Well the race today was rained out, so the cars will run tomorrow. Gee if only Nascar would build a track in the Northwest. Ohhh that's right there are too many stupid people that objected to it. Well look at our unemployment and lack of business in this area. Hope to bring you some more beagle news later, Monte

Fat Dogs, it's my fault!

Well as you can see Bailey is the little porker. We are really working hard and have made progress in the feeding under the table action. Both dogs think that we hate them because they don't get the food that they think that they deserve. If we left it up to them they would eat until the popped!

We are getting more things updated on the Golf cart and will have it even more cool at this Outlaw Race!

See ya Monte.

Flash Back Fridays!

Guess what I found? Do you know who this family member is? It's all on FLASH BACK FRIDAY'S.

Day one of the diet!

Well the Vet said that both beagles need to loose weight. That wasn't to hard to figure out. Bailey is the porker and needs to loose the most. I guess that Steve and I could stand to loose also. So, we are starting a LIFE STYLE CHANGE. We will see how long we can do this, we just need top take this one day at a time. We are going to take some before and after photos of the dogs to see their progress.
until later, Monte

Move this shed!

I thought that I was having a challenge moving my 8X10 wooden shed to the other side of the property. Well maybe I should hire these professionals to move it for me. Although I would prefer to have mine right side up!

I thought that I would hook the beagle up to it and they could pull it over there!

Monte

I love this Postcard

Well the Beagles are sharing everything. Lucy Lu got a ear infection and has shared it with Bailey. I guess that they are united in all that they do. Bailey and Lucy have been staying in Steve's room, I think it's the A/c. I am hopping that the weather will cool down a little for the World Of Outlaws coming soon. Until later, Monte.

Record heat, that's HOT!

Heatwave!

Today was a record 103 breaking the record of 93. It was 104+ at my house, lord it was hot. We decide to go out for dinner tonight and bring dinner home for Dad and Julie. Look at the 7 day forecast for the Seattle area, you can add at least five deg to that and that is what we have here. I'm trying to keep the Beagles cool, I think they prefer Steve's room over mine. He keeps it at around 30 deg, just kidding. Well until tomorrow, Monte

IT"S HOOOOOOOT!

It' around 100 deg and the beagles are hot. They both are restless and sluggish. I have been watering them down and that gives them instant energy. Please keep an eye on your family, friends and pets.

Til tomorrow, Monte

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Flash back Friday!

This is a flash back family photo. Sometimes I wish that you could turn back time. Things were more simple then, more carefree, and just down right fun. We knew when it was time to go to school when the J.P Patches show was over. We actually walked to school about 10 miles, just kidding. We walked about two blocks to school. We played outside until late in the night. No video games, computers, cell phones, big screens and the only diet pop was TAB. I feel that was more simple then.



until another day, MONTE.

Fred Brownfield Memorial 2009!

Well Patches Pals the Fred Brownfield Memorial 2009 weekend went great. Thanks to Randy and Lisa for hosting us in the land of Chadwick. We are grateful to have this place to gather. This was bailey's second year of racing and Lucy Lu's first year. There was great food, new friends and HOT WEATHER! We were entertained by Randy and Lisa's neighbor, he sounded like Neil Young. There was great refreshment like the home made "Buck up" brandy. I will post more later. Thank GOD for our family and friends.

See ya, Monte

Wordless Wednesday!

Golf cart update!

Hey everyone, I 'm almost finished with the golf cart that will be running us to the gate and pits. Installed a rear jump seat and all the lights. I just need to install the back rests and give her a bath. Speaking of baths, I think both of the Beagles need one before we take off. I don't know how Lucy will like the ride, but she sure like to riding on the golf cart.

For now MONTE

Getting ready for the dirt!

Hey everyone I've been working on the golf cart on this hot day and just finished the new roof. I still need to put on the finishing touches on the front lights. Tomorrow we are fixing dad his birthday dinner. He decided that he wanted Fish and prawns. We also plan on putting some salmon on the grill. Jackie and Mike are bringing some fish that Logan caught in Alaska. Then after dinner we will sit down and watch the Sprint Cup races. Hope everyone has a great weekend and I'll post photo of dad's Birthday dinner.

See ya! MONTE

Remembering the Family Farm

This is or was where my grandparents family farm. My grandfather milked his own cows, raised his own beef, his own chickens, eggs and great family on this land. We had fun running and playing without video games, Computers and Cell phones. It's where it was common for boy at the age of 10 to be driving the tractor or the Farm trucks. We got up early and played late. When are parents would leave to go racing we would all stay at their house, almost a dozen kids in a 900 square foot house. We all gathered around a 19" console TV and watched Roller Derby and Big Time Wrestling from Portland OR.

That's what I remember, Monte

P.S. LOOK AT THE MIDDLE PHOTO IT LOOKS LIKE A POODLE TAKING A CRAP, CAN YOU SEE IT?
