It's a snowing out there

What a day it turned out to be. The morning started out just fine. It was a little cold but nothing really to bad. Then around 11am or so it started snowing. It really didn't stick around to much but you almost never see snow at the end of March.

Today's picture is once again from Del Mar fairgrounds in Del Mar,Ca. this is one of my favorite pics i have taken. The horse racing season is really getting underway now. there's prep races almost every week. Her is a link to the current top horses of 2008 http://www.bodoglife.com/horse-betting/triple-crown/kentucky-derby/contenders.jsp

Emerald Downs opens April 18Th. This will be my 5Th year going on opening day. I'm truly looking forward to the day. I wish i was a better handicapper. But I'm always learning and having a great time at the track.

Now to some really good news. The Thunderbirds are on a roll. After having been down 2 games to 0 in the playoffs they have come back to win 3 games in a row. They have been playing a great game on the ice. They still need one more win to take the series. Lets go Birds.

Happy Playoffs Day

Today's picture is taken from Del Mar Fairgrounds . Del Mar is one of my favorite places to visit. As you can see it right next to the Pacific Ocean. I hope to move down there someday soon. I should just pack up and move tomorrow that how much i want to be down there. But i think I'll stick it out here for a little while longer. If you have never been to Del Mar i say go and visit when you get a chance.It's just 20 miles or so north of San Diego, Ca

Tonight is the first round of the whl hockey playoff season. The t-birds take on the Kelowna Rockets. I was hoping for a Seattle/ Everett series. But Everett tanked it at the ended of the year and finished 6th in the conference. The t-birds are 3-1 against Kelowna this year. the one loss was a shootout loss in October.

I'm just hoping for a great series. Anything can happen in the playoffs it a whole new season. Not sure if I'm going to make it to tonight's game. My car is in the shop being check out as i type this. I don't think it's anything bad at least that's what i was told on the phone a few minutes ago. If all is ok then I'm heading down to catch some playoff hockey. Until next time see ya

It's a beautiful day

Lets start off with a picture of mine taken this past summer.

So this is a picture of Ashley Force and Kenny Bernstein. This was from the Seattle race in the summer of 2007.If you look closely you see the cars taking off from the starting line. Only a few hundred feet later did Ashley have problems lost control and hit the wall. It really put a scare into the crowd.She did get right out of her car and things were just fine.

I have a new cell phone yahoo. Bought it about two weeks ago. This is something i have wanted to do for sometime now.Nothing fancy but it works for me. I was really tired having a phone that's 5 years old.

Looks like the T-birds will end up playing the Everett Silvertips in the first round of the playoffs. This is the last week of the regular season. Things could change but it most likely not. Home advantage is up for grabs still and will be decided soon as Seattle and Everett play each other twice this week.

Things to watch this week NHRA racing from Florida the Gatornationals. The Nascar Cup series is in Bristol, Tenn and Formula 1 kicks off it season 9pm pacific coast time Saturday in Australia.

First blog and Vacation plans for the summer.

So this is the first blog i have written. I'm not really sure how this will go but I'm going to give it a try. Summer is quickly approaching and it's time to make plans. I was planning on a quick trip to Vegas in April but that was put on hold due to a good friend who just couldn't get the time off work. He decided he wanted to burn himself while working on his car at home. Ok it was a accident but i won't be going to Vegas in April

So now I'm planning a trip to Minnesota this summer to catch the NHRA drag races out there. Will be staying with some friends who live close to the track. Having never visited Minnesota I'm really looking forward to this part of my trip. After my few days in Minnesota I'm heading to Vegas for two or three days. Nothing big planned but just want to visit Sin City before i head over to So-Cal. Once I'm done in Vegas I'll fly over to Los Angeles. Plan on spending about a week between Los Angeles and Del Mar. I'm also looking for to this part of the trip. Del Mar has become my favorite place to visit in the summer. Nothing like sitting at the Horse track with a great breeze and view of the ocean. I just love it down there. I wish i could afford to live there.

I'll be gone for almost two weeks. I have not taken a two week vacation in a couple years. Last time i did something like this it was a blast. That's it for now i hope i can make this a regular deal.
