Updated List 11-07-07

Greetings to all!

Our weather has turned a little cooler down here in Texas! Of course it's November and it should be getting cooler, but when you live in Texas, you never know what the weather will bring! I think the temps today were in the high 60's with a low expected tonight around 40.

I really enjoed the picture Larry sent a few weeks ago. If you have one to send, let me know. Thanks again, Larry!!!!

The list has been updated so take a look and let us know if you see anything you want to order - www.katestrackshack.com. We've added the Christmas tapes again this year. I've been seeing Christmas stuff out for several months now. I think I saw Christmas stuff out before I saw Halloween stuff!

Also, again this year, we will be doing gift certificates. These are great especially if you know what type of music that someone special would like.

Take care!

Kathy

Check out this photo!!!!!

Thank you to Larry Parker who sent us this photo today! The picture is from Letchworth State park also know as the "Grand Canyon" of the east!!

We lived in Rhode Island for about a year and being able to see the seasons change was so nice! That would have to be one of the things I miss most about being up North.

Thanks again Larry!!!!

1 Week Left on Halloween Special!

Just a reminder that the Halloween special on cases is good for 1 more week! The list has also just been updated so check it out at www.katestrackshack.com to see if you see anything that will fill those cases to get it free!

Hope you're having a great day! It's windy here in the big state of Texas today!!! Our temperatures dropped on Monday and brought a little bit of rain and cooler temps. We can't really complain (although my kids are complaining about needing warmer clothes!) since it's the middle of October! But here in Texas you never know what kind of weather you'll be having!!!

Have a great week!!!!!!

Kathy

MDA Update

Thanks to everyone that helped me out by generously donating to this year's MDA Lockup. I was able to raise enough money to send at least one child to MDA camp this summer. I was told that this was this childs first time to be able to go to camp.

I'm putting up the photo that was taken on the day of lockup. It was a lot of fun and helped raise money for a really good cause.

Again, thanks to all those who gave without question!

Kathy

MDA Lock-Up

The MDA Lock-Up was a success! I was able to raise my bail with the help of great friends and family!!!!!!!! I was able to raise enough to send one little girl to camp! All those that participated have been given a little more time to raise extra money to help send other kids to camp or to other much needed services.

We still have some cases of 8 tracks that we'll be taking bids on to raise a little more money. If you would like to see the tapes, check out our website - www.katestrackshack.com. You can also make donations via the website they have setup for me at - https://www.mdaevent.org/ParticipantInfo.aspx?j=a7c8fb44-416b-4d19-a500-5455c7495d8c
You can also email me at dkgibson3@tx.rr.com if you have any other questions.

I'll be posting my mug shot as soon as I can get my scanner working again!!!!!

Thanks again to everyone who helped out!!!!!!!!

Track Shack In The Spotlight

One of our local tv celebrities, "The Why Guy", came out Monday to do a story on Kate's Track Shack and our daughter, Mary's AMC Pacer. It was a lot of fun!!!! We met Mike and his cameraman, Billy about a month ago when they did a story on our Amphicar for an upcoming Amphicar meet that we did on the 23rd of last month (story below). Mike is a great guy and when we mentioned we sold 8-tracks and had an AMC Pacer, he wanted to come out and do another story.

Here is the url to see the video of the story. They even put up a link to the "Shack".

New Website!!!!!

We've just put up a new website that is the sister site to Kate's Track Shack. KTSP is the 8-track production company for Kate's Track Shack.

KTSP's mission is to bring the 8-track into the 21st century. We have had bands and individuals contact us about putting their cd's or other media onto 8-track. Can it still be done you ask? Yes, and KTSP can do it for you!

1st Annual Lake Arlington Swim-In

Saturday, June 23rd, we hosted our 1st Annual Lake Arlington Swim-In. We had 5 Amphicars come from all around Texas. Ours, one from Mesquite, Westlake, Austin and even one from Houston!

We have a great time. We gave out lots of Amphicar rides (free) and meet a lot of great people! I'm including a few pictures of the Swim-in.

One of our local tv stations came out and did a short story on us. As soon as we get it copied over we'll post it.


I'm still pretty new to this blogger thing so I haven't figured out to put a caption with each of the pictures. When I do, I'll fix this thing!

The first picture is me driving some friends of my mother-in-law's around the lake. The second picture is of Dan in the foreground just before he takes someone out for a ride (yes, those are longhorns on the car in the water!). The third picture is of all the Amphicars in the parking lot while we had lunch. One of the cars is hiding on the other side. The fourth picture is Dan tubing one of our girls. And the last picture is of four of the cars at the car show we did at Bruster's Real Icecream after we finished up at the lake. The make wonderful icecream!!!!

Gotta get off of this thing; we're about to get hit with a storm and I need to shut the computer down for a little bit.

Kathy

P.S. Thank you to Al & Debra Heath for taking these and the other great pics on Saturday!
