2008/12/9   Happy Holidays! In fact, we've gone through Fourth of July, Labor Day, 1 vacation, 1 season of soccer, 2 birthdays, Halloween and Thanksgiving since the last update. Now pictures are updated in almost all of the categories, including Ashton (now 5), McKenna (now 3), the furry babies (now 12, 1 and 1), and our family and friends (we won't cite ages here) whom we treasure.

2008/05/1   May Day. After 6 months, pictures are finally updated again. Ashton is such a little man, McKenna is quite the princess, and the fur babies are a great addition to the household.

2008/02/14   Happy Valentine's Day! We hope you had a great one. To celebrate all the kisses, I bought another car for vintage racing: a 1973 911 RSR. It is very well developed and should be loads of fun. The red car will be dedicated to Porsche Club racing. BTW, the black car now has harnesses, Recaros and Motons. :-)

2007/07/03   Our friend and beloved family cat, Aspen, passed away this evening due to kidney failure. I (Seth) always seeked her approval... she was like my conscience, yet she never did anything except hang out, listen, and love. Thank you sweetheart. We miss you dearly.

2007/06/--   We made some web-friendly video clips, so please visit the new video post section.

2007/07/01   Life is busy and the kids are growing like weeds. You can see McKenna's and Ashton's latest pictures. These get you updated with their growth through a few weeks ago, I think!

2006/12/15   Merry Holidays!

2006/10/--   McKenna and Ashton have both changed during the last few months, as shown in new pictures of Ashton's birthday, Halloween, Christmas and a trip to Louisiana.

2006/10/--   It's been so long since I updated anything. Sorry. We went to the beach, McKenna turned one, and we went to the pumpkin patch! Check out all of the new pictures of McKenna and Ashton from the last few months.

2006/07/--   Check out McKenna's and Ashton's pictures. Nana and Granddaddy came to visit which we were very excited about. Ashton also traced his numbers... he did a great job for his first time!

2006/07/--   Life has been hectic. McKenna is already 8 months old! I just put up some new pics of her and Ashton from the last few months.

2006/04/--   A few more pictures of McKenna and Ashton from Easter and visits from Mimi, Grandma, and Paw Paw.

2006/03/--   Finally, I found some time to update the web and put pictures of both McKenna and Ashton up. I'll try to be better about updating pictures more frequently!

2005/11/--   Ashton enjoys hugging and swinging his new sister. Adjusting well, he continues to be a very happy little boy. New Halloween and birthday pictures show Ash turning two. He is also busy at school creating Ash's Art.

2005/10/--   McKenna Margaret arrived on 10/20/05 at 431 AM, about 2 weeks early! She weighed 6 lbs. 14 oz. and could stretch 18 inches. She's happy and healthy, though quite sedentary and complacent (ie. lazy). Check out her first pictures.

2005/09/--   Racing pictures turn out better when the car and driver start working together.

2005/08/--   After my last engine blew at the PCA race on May 28th, the red car spent four months in the shop getting an upgrade. Now, the new 2.7L MFI Carrera RS motor is finally finished and installed! The car ran great at the track last weekend, and it should be ready for the next CVAR race in September.

2005/02/--   I changed the web coding so pictures are now indexed in reverse chronology, thus the first page of each category will contain the most recent photos. In car news, I over-revved my engine by missing 5th gear at TWS. The car is in the shop getting exhaust valves fixed, and it should be ready by the next PCA race in March.

2004/11/--   The red car came back from the shop better than ever, with a new tail and a tuned engine. I just finished another PCA race in Belle Rose, LA. The car ran great!

2004/11/--   Ashton just had his first birthday! We had a big celebration with a jump house and lots of fun. He really seemed to enjoy himself, especially when everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to him! He liked the cake and just smiled that huge grin. Can you say, "Sugar high?!" He also went trick-or-treating on his birthday and got some candy.

2004/10/--   After finally getting the red car all prepared, I started racing with the Porsche club and the Corinthians vintage racing club. Unfortunately, I slid my car into a tire wall at a PCA race in Hallett, OK. At least I quickly jumped out and took pictures! Now, the car is back in the shop.

2004/09/--   We bought a Winnebago so that the whole family can camp at the track during remote race weekends. We got tired of hotels, and Ashton was having trouble napping during the day. Now we have a 24-foot Itasca Spirit as a second home.

2004/05/--   Some games Seth coded are now posted. As an exercise to learn Perl, WebMaze is a CGI script based on Seth's old maze program. The original Maze3D DOS application also is available for download. Visual Basic macros get some liesure-time use with an Excel Gamepack that contains Minesweeper, Memory and Tic-Tac-Toe. Tic-Tac-Toe's AI should be unbeatable, so contact Seth if you actually win.

2004/04/--   Pictures of recent preparations to the 74 911 are posted. Also, Mason and Seth went street-boarding through the neighborhood on Easter.

2004/03/--   Seth bought a new car (1974 911S) that will be dedicated for track use. Modifications from street car to race prepared will start soon.

2003/10/--   Ashton Scott enters the world on 10/31/2003, weighing 7 lbs. 4 oz. and reaching 21 inches... yet another reason why Halloween is the best holiday! Look at the first pictures of our little pumpkin.

2003/07/--   Seth learned to unicycle in July and continues to improve. He's getting really good and we go for walks/rides together. Some pictures are posted.
