Please Help If You Can!!!!!!

This year, I have the honor and pleasure of participating in MDA's Arlington Telu 2007 to help "Jerry's Kids®". To reach my goal I need your help!

I'd like to include you or your company on my list of contributors who are helping me reach my goal. Your donation would help MDA continue the important fight against muscular dystrophy. Check out my web page by clicking on the link below. There you'll find all kinds of information about MDA, and be able to make your tax-deductible donation on-line using your credit card.

MDA serves people in our community with neuromuscular disease by providing clinics, support groups, assistance with the purchase and repair of wheelchairs, braces and communication devices, and summer camp for kids. MDA also funds research grants to help find treatments and cures for some 43 neuromuscular diseases that affect people of all ages, right here in our community.

I sincerely hope that you'll take the opportunity to support MDA. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call or e-mail me.

On behalf of the families MDA serves, thank you!

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!

You may need to rebookmark our website if you haven't done so. The old bookmark probably doesn't work anymore. It just needs to be "www.katestrackshack.com".

Thanks!

Kathy

Kate's Track Shack is back up!!!!! Hopefully we won't have this problem again!!!

There is a new updated list out there - www.katestrackshack.com. Take a look and let us know if you see anything!

I hear you New Englanders are still getting snow! We had snow flurries on Saturday here in sunny Texas! You guys stay warm up there!!!!!!

Website down again!!!!

We are aware that the website is down again! We've been talking with Road Runner again and it looks like they've screwed up again!!!! It seems we will have to manually migrate our website. I'm still waiting on a call from them. It looks like I'll have to call them back since my 24-48 wait is just about up to hear back from them.

I apologize to everyone that has tried to get onto the site and can't! We're still here, just not being seen!

I'm also working on testing more tapes to put on the list. I'll email those on the "Subscriber" list and let you know when the list is updated and the website is back up.

If you aren't a "Subscriber" and want to be, just send us an email at dkgibson3@tx.rr.com and put "subscribe" in the Subject line. We'll send you out emails to let you know when the list has been updated and other important info.

Kathy

Website Back Up!!!!!!

It looks like Road Runner has finished with the migration (at least for our website) and we're back up again!!!!!!

Sorry for the inconvenience!!!!!!!!

Web Site Down

Hi!

Thanks to everyone who has notified us about our website being down. What a bummer! I've talked with our service provider and it seems that our website is being migrated from our old provider to the new one. They say that it shouldn't be down more than a day or two. I'm doing all I can to get it back up again as quickly as possible.

Thanks for your understanding!

Kathy

Updated List 3-19-07

Just put up a new list tonight! Be sure to check out our newest page at www.katestrackshack.com! It's Beatles & related tapes. We get lots of requests for these tapes so we decided to put up a special page for them. These tapes will be a little more than some of our other tapes, but they will be tuned-up with new pads/splices. Tapes that are sealed, you decided if you want them tuned-up or not.

If you were lucky enough to be off last week for Spring Break, hope you had a good time! We had some fun and got a lot of things done around the house the needed doing. The kids begged us to put up our pool, so Dan did that this weekend. They were brave enought to get into it tonight and go under water (water about 60 degrees maybe!). Still a little to cold for me!!!!!

We also have some auctions on Ebay right now. Dan and I have some under seller name - dkgibson and our oldest daughter has some under seller name - katestrackshack. She is selling some quads to help put some money in her college fund and to pay for gas for her '76 Pacer!

Take care and have a good week!

Kathy

Updated List 03-06-07!

Just letting you know that a new list was put up last night! I think you'll find some good stuff this time around. Check it out at www.katestrackshack.com.

I hate to make reminders like this, but sometimes it has to be done. If you place an order for tapes/supplies, etc. you need to pay for that order before placing another order. That's how most businesses work. We're not trying to be buttheads! Thanks for your understanding!!!!!

Another heads up! Most of you have probably already heard that there is going to be another rate increase in postage! The lady at the post office said they weren't given an exact date, but probably would be sometime in May or June. We'll let you know how it will effect shipping costs once we know what the rate increases will be. I think 1st class on one oz will be raised to .41 cents. The Post Office would love to get rid of media mail, but I think there are too many of us out there that still use it quite a bit!

Next week is Spring Break for me and the kids. Not sure if we'll go anywhere, but in case you email and we don't get back to you right away, that will be why.

Have a great week!

Kathy
