Congrats to Jaime Moyer

Way to go to the Philies and Jamie Moyer. Some people say he's hot i don't know about that. I say he just a great guy and im really really happy for him. Im off to Vegas in a few hours to see the Nhra drag races. Im Hoping for some wins from Hillary Will, Greg Anderson and Del Worsham.

It's a beautiful day again.

With the breeders cup coming up this Friday and Saturday i thought i would post some of my favorite races. Singeltary named after the great Chicago bears player and now the coach of the San Fransico 49er's. This was a great race for me as i made some good money. For some reason i liked this horse early in the 2004 year. He always seemed to do great when i watched him race. He was also a turf horse and i really like turf races over dirt.

The world series starts tonight. I will be pulling for the Phillie's. I think a good part of the Northwest will be hoping for the Phillis to win. Jaime Moyer the long time Mariner starts game 3 on Saturday.

I'm not really sure what drives me to watch two tv shows. Almost every Monday i end up watching Little people big world and Jon and Kate plus 8.I have been watching these shows for sometime now. I will say it's cool to see the six little Gosselin kids grow up.

I have bought my Halloween costume. I'm going to be a Big Daddy. That's what the costume says. I say it's more of a pimp looking outfit which should be great for Vegas. There's picture floating around out there some place i will be sure to get that up someday soon.

Our sports teams

Here's my tickets for the upcoming race in Vegas. Nice picture of Kurt Johnson's protstock car spinning the tire's.

Whats the deal with our sports teams. All the teams this year suck. The Mariners 101 bleeping losses,the Seahawks 1 win, the Huskies no win, the Cougars 1 win against Portland state. The Sonics oh they moved to some loser city in the middle of the nation. Hey Gordo you like hockey don't you. Yes i do oh the bleeping t-birds suck this year also. I guess there is college basketball starting pretty soon go Huskies and Zags. I don't ask for much from the sports teams. I want them to win of course but i want to enjoy watching the games and this year has sucked for watching and kind of games.

Greg Biffle moved up to second place in the Sprint Cup standings for the Nascar boy's. I'm hoping the Biff can pull out the title this year but it's not looking good right now. When Greg raced up here some years ago you just knew he would make it big time. Go Biff Go

Still no costume for Halloween. I have been sick for the past week and just haven't gone out to get anything. I will get something the Friday for sure. 10 days till Vegas yahoo.

Just noticed a story about my favorite Top Fuel Driver Hillary Will check it out

Breeders Cup 2008

It's two weeks till the Breeders cup horse races.The races are at Santa Anita horse track this year and next.I really wanted to go to the horse races. When i got my ticket info i just threw it away in the garbage. They wanted 500.00 dollars for each seat with a decent view of the track.Maybe next year the will lower the price of the tickets. I have been to Santa Anita a few times. It's a great track over looking the San Gabriel mountains in Southern California. If you have seen the movie Seabiscuit then you have seen the track.

The breeders Cup is probably the second biggest weekend in horse racing. I would have to say that the Kentucky Derby weekend is the only race that would be bigger. I will just watch from home and place some bets on the computer. Oh well maybe next year.

Today i received my tickets for the drag races in Vegas. I'm sitting in Platinum Club row 36 seat 3. I was hoping for row 34 or 35. But this seat is fine it's the same one i had last year. I did purchase tickets for the Bullring to see some race at the short track. I have a buddy who used to live up here that works at that track. He's going to get my buddy Marshall and i in the pits to watch the races. Pit passes sell for 40 bucks so Larry is saving us 20 bucks.

I haven't picked out a Halloween costume for Vegas yet. I just can't figure out what i want to dress up as. I need to figure out something soon.

I started feeling sick when i got home this morning from work. I'm just trying to relax and enjoy the afternoon. I have been drinking some tea and might take some old medicine later if I'm not feeling better. I would hate to be sick one my one day off tomorrow. that would just plain well you figure it out.

October baseball

Well the first week of October is almost over. Baseball playoffs are now into the second round. I really have been paying close attention to the games this year. Maybe it's because the Mariners suck and i haven't seen any good games this year. I did make it to a couple of baseball games this year only one of those was a Mariner game. I did see the Dodgers and Phillie's and the Twins and Yankees. I'm hoping for a Phillie's and Ray's match up in the world series.

The picture today is from Del Mar, Ca taken from the third level of the horse track. There's nothing like watching the races with a nice ocean breeze coming in. Until i find something better this will probably be one of my summer vacation visits. I always enjoy myself down there . it's just a great time every summer. This was my fourth summer to Del Mar.

As i type this blog the puck is about to drop on NHL hockey season. There has been a few games played already this year. Those games were played over in Europe. The first North American games start tonight. I'm pulling for the San Jose Sharks this year once again.

The T-Birds are off to a rough start 1-5 going into tomorrow nights match up with the EveRATT Silvertips. They did get a couple guys back from the NHL training camps this week. I'm hoping for a quick turn around or it could be a long season.

The NHRA races in Richmond this weekend. That means fours weeks till the Vegas race for me yahoo.

One last weekend of soccer for my favorite four year old. It looks like the weather will be sunny but cold. I wouldn't make it to he last two games so I'm really looking forward to the game Saturday.

Amazing race and another b-day

Today's pic is from one of my many trips my to Twin Falls,Idaho. Mount Rainier looked great the day i took this picture.

Happy birthday to my brother Michael. I hope to get to talk to him tonight. I don't get to talk to him to much or see him for that fact. He lives out in Spokane and doesn't make it home to much.






It's also my best buds Aaron's birthday today. He is working today poor guy. He doesn't really have a choice though. He owns his own Mission tortilla route. There isn't anyone to do his route for him so he's out there working today. I told him have Madison do it for him. I don't think that would go over to well with his wife.











The 13Th season of amazing race started on Sunday. I'm hoping for a better season then last year. In the first episode the bee keepers Anita and Arthur from Oregon were eliminated. Part of me was pulling for them. The other part was pulling for the Southern Belles Marisa and Brooke. Guess i only have to root for the Southern Belles now. I'm not sure if they have what it takes to win the one million dollars.





The only other show i will really watch will be Pushing Daisies. It's been about nine months and I'm looking forward to the new season.





If Greg bleeping Anderson wants to win his fourth pro stock title he better get his act together next week in Richmond,Virgina. He had no excuse for his first round loss. Poor Del Worsham had a bad weekend. He didn't qualify for the race in Funny Car. I hope he makes the last three races and maybe can pull off a win for his team. In Top Fuel my favorite girl Hillary Will made it to the semi finals before losing to that Tony Schumacher guy. She hasn't beat him this year. Sometimes you just don't have any kind of luck against another driver. I hope she beats him next time they meet on the track.





Soccer was great Saturday. Madison has improved so much from the first week. I think all the girls have improved so much on her team. It's really amazing to see the 4-5 years come together as a team. Madison hasn't scored a goal yet but she's getting really close.





Oh and congrats to my favorite f-1 driver Fernando Alonso for winning first night race in history. He won the race in Singapore this past Sunday. He was dubbed the Prince of Darkness after his win.

I dislike the fall & winter Happy birthday to the Boss

Why can't every day be 75 with a nice breeze. The older i get the crankier i have become with the weather around here. Here's what Dictionary.com has to say about dislike. to regard with displeasure, antipathy, or aversion: I dislike working. I dislike oysters.





Well i truly dislike the fall and winter times. I have been pretty close to just packing up my stuff getting a U-haul and moving to San Diego. It's almost always 75 with a nice breeze and great beaches to hang out at. If any tells me we have nice beaches here i just about die with laughter. that's all I'm going to say about fall and winter for now.



Happy Birthday today to Bruce Springsteen. He's 59 and still kicking butt. Everyone has a favorite song mine is The Streets of Philadelphia.


The T-birds opened up the season this past Friday and Saturday. They had a 10 or so bus trip to Prince George,BC. They lost both games which bummed me out a little bit. It's still early in the season of course. Lets see how things turn out this weekend as they still are on the road against Tri-Cites Friday and the The Everett Trailer Park team Saturday night. First home game isn't till the 4th of October against Spokane. Go Birds.





Bob Wilber who is the Pr/ Team Manager for Del Worsham's Nhra funny car team will be out of a job when the season ends. I have become a big fan of the CSK team. Checkers/Shucks/ Kragen was sold to O'REILLY auto stores this year. They decided to keep on sponsoring race and local racing series. So that means Del's team was looking for a sponsor. A great opportunity came along for Del to race for Allan Johnson next year. Del took the offer how could you not. Now Bob is out of a job at the end of the racing season. My gut says he won't be out of a job for long. He does a great job from what i can tell. Is a great guy in person. He even gave some great tips for my trip to Minneapolis this summer. I hope he lands with a great team or some place that will make him happy. Go to the Nhra web site and look for team CSK racing blog.








I will be attending another soccer game this weekend. From what I've been told the team has really improved in the last 10 days or so. They scored 5 goals which is way better then the 0 they scored the first time. I'm hoping Madison scores a goal. If she doesn't I'm hope she just has fun playing soccer. I wish i could get my nieces and nephew's to play sports. Oh well i enjoy going to Maple Valley to see my best bud and his family.

The picture up top is Madison and me at Skagit Speedway last summer. We had tons of fun that night laughing at her dad.
