Fastest Qualifiers!

Thursday night was the Arena Bar's first ever karaoke competition! Naturally, we all entered! Thursday night was the first round. All the entraints got judged while singing one song of their choice. There were about 15 entries, about half made it to the second round which will be taking place Tuesday night. Lisi and I were the only duet competitors and we made it to the final round with a song we regularly perfom "Guys Do it All the Time" by Mindy McCready. Chebo also made it to the final round with the song "Whatcha Gonna Do With a Cowboy" by Chris LeDoux. So wish us luck on the final round, first place wins $100 and second place wins $50! :) :) :)

Yavapai Downs

Our journey begins 5 am, Sunday the 16th of August. We set out with two main tasks to accomplish that day: Winning the Wiener Racing Championships, & winning the Yavapai Derby.

After a hurried preparing for the day, our first stop was Tucson, to fuel up on gas for the truck and Jack In The Box for our bellies :) We cruised on all the way to Prescott, which was our destination! This is us! We can hardly contain our exctiement as our destination draws nearer!

Upon reaching the track, we discovered a sad thing indeed: we had missed the deadline to enter Dobby into the weiner dog races. Dobby was dissapointed, but he took the opportunity to take notes for next year. I loved meeting all the weiner dogs, & people just loved him! Random people wanted to pet him & take pictures of him, so he didn't mind one bit!

He particularly liked this shadey, grassy spot I let him lay in & drink water at.

These historic, fully restored starting gates were on display outside the grandstands. We just had to strike a pose!

Finally, excitement was in the air 100% as our big race finally began. We're the 4th one from the left & we were in front the whole way...

...until the 9 & the 10 horse caught up with us at the end. You cant see us that well, we're behind the 10 but before the 8 horses. This was taken about 20 yards before the finish line. We ended up 3rd!

After I hastily got me a tshirt from the gift shop (I get one from every track), we had dinner at Leff-T's steak reasturant in Dewey, and then we headed home.

Birthday Woes

Happy 24th Birthday Chebo!

August 8 was Chebo's birthday. We went to our buddy NAR-NAR's house to watch the UFC fights! YEEEHAW!!

Then we went to Denny's & got way crappy service! It took the waitress half an hour after I asked her to refill my water to actually refill it! & just as long to come ask for our orders after we said we needed a BIT more time. We even waited an hour for her to bring our ticket. We finally left without paying so I suppose we should wait a while to go back to Dennys!

Chebo said he had a great night anywayz!

This is us at karaoke! [[Chebo, Lisi, Rockin' Ron, & Me]] In two weeks there is a karaoke competition at the arena! Ron is bringin in judges from Tucson & there is some sort of prize i think! Anywho, we are all entering! Wish us luck!
