That's A Big Ten-Four. posted by Bec @ 10:32 PM

This post is dedicated to Merriane Montgomery (Jayci's mom). She and Keith (Jayci's dad) stopped by for a visit last week and within a conversation about how she and mom should get together for coffee and tea, I asked her if she liked coffee. She responded with a smile, "THAT'S a big ten-four!" It still makes me laugh, so I thought that I would share it here.

Debbie: Do you recognized this building? I had lunch in Boise last Wednesday and snaped this shot while waiting at a red light at Myrtle and 8th Street. That is the first building that Kieffer Design was in and now it is getting demolished. Crazy, eh? The tall building behind it is the new part of 8th Street shopping or now known as BoDo (Boise Downtown). Just thought you might like to see the changes. 

Radio Ads posted by Brian @ 3:31 PM

Okay people, I have the radio ads hot off the press or wherever they come from!

Check 'em out!
Guy's Ad - KTIK The Ticket(Am 1350)
Gal's Ad - KCIX Mix 106 (FM 105.9)

Let me know what you think.

They will start airing on Monday and go through Thursday of next week. Then it will be Mondays and Tuesdays.

Mondays posted by Brian @ 10:05 AM

Okay today isn't Monday, but coming up this next Monday, if you listen to Mix 106 (FM 105.9) or KTIK (AM 1350) you just might hear my new radio ad. It will be playing 4 times a day from Monday through Thursday. And then the next three weeks on Monday and Tuesday about 4-5 times a day. And then the same thing for three weeks every month going forward. The goal is to get the word out about my company.

Tomorrow I should be getting an mp3 of each of the radio commercials. I'll be sure to post them up on the blog so you guys can listen to them. I'm a bit excited and I hope this will start me on the path towards becoming the leading Home Media company in Idaho.

That's the goal anyway.

Oh yeah, and the radio guy and my advertising guy both said the brochure looked really good! They loved the picture on the front. Good job Deb!

Next up, Motorcycles! posted by Brian @ 4:37 PM

I'm trying a new thing. When Debbie posted her video of Texas rain I wasn't able to see it so I posted that she should try YouTube. Well never being one to have someone do something I wouldn't do myself I decided to try it out and see how hard it is to use. Well it turns out it's quite easy. To show proof, look here.



This is Parker cruising around on his other bike. I still haven't been to Walmart yet to get new tubes for both bikes and new tires for Ally's bike.

I just took this video with our digital camera. I think it worked pretty well.

Grandpa Don Bartlow's baptism posted by Carol @ 1:14 PM

Saturday, all Bartlows present at the family reunion gathered at the riverside to witness Don Bartlow's baptism.
Their Nazarene paster from Pomery came to baptize grandpa. Grandpa is giving his testamony.
Although we are all roasting in the hot sun, the water is a little cold.
Murray is assisting.
Coming up.
This picture speaks for itself.

We didn't get as early a start as expected...nothing new with us. Audrey came aboard the Discovery to investigate everything, and I do mean everything. I don't think there was one button, lever or knob she didn't try to work. She even climbed into the drivers seat to drive us all off. It is hard to get a good picture of her these days, since she is constantly on the move. Here she is watching Papa trying to get the gas shut-off to quit beeping.

All aboard the Discovery Motor Home Leaving Nampa, Idaho traveling to Chief Timothy Park just outside Clarkston, Washington. Papa was getting a little thirsty around LaGrande, so we decided to stop at Albertson's with a side trip for a frosty at Wendy's. Everyone tanked up with food and then we stopped for a few groceries. When we got back to the motor home, the batteries were dead, the one that mattered most anyway. Dead in the water. Papa went to work solving the battery problem, and I went to work solving the disillusion, depression and general dispair of Ally and Parker. They were sure that we would never get to our camp site and that they would never see their Mommie again. Well.....three hours and a new battery later, we were on our way, with the only mishap of the trip behind us. We got in after dark, but the adventure had begun and all was well.

Picture below clockwise starting with Ally Bartlow, Parker Bartlow, Bryant Sharp, son of Greg, Josh Bartlow, son of Scott and Debbie Bartlow and Austin Sharp, son of Greg. These were the youngest of the Bartlow Clan.
Brian has already posted the great achievement of Parker. In his own intent way, he hit the pavement the first morning with great resolve to get better and better on his 2 wheeler. What Brian didn't tell you, was that Papa spent quite a few hours repairing those tires several times, until...enough was enough. Boy those puncture vines were everywhere.
Under these tents were 3 tables where we would gather for our evening meals. Anyone who wanted to join, just brought their supper and we all shared. Wow, what a bounty of food and fellowship.

Slow News Week posted by Brian @ 8:39 PM

Okay, so since nobody has posted anything new lately I'll just chime in with a bit of info. Parker and Ally got back in town on Monday after going with Mom and Dad to Chief Timothy State Park along with a plethora of other Bartlows. Angie and I did not go for a couple reasons: 1. I'm still a bit under the weather and 2. Audrey. For reasons that are most likely apparent to anyone who knows Audrey, we didn't feel like camping with her. For some reason I don't think she'd do too well in a tent.

I'm sure Mom will post soon with some cool pictures. Probably a few of Parker's new accomplishment. The little guy is riding a bike now! Woohoo! No training wheels or anything. He's just cruising! Unfortunately, at Chief Timothy there are millions of goat's heads which pop tires. Otherwise I'm sure Parker and Ally would have done little else besides ride their bikes all around the island.

That reminds me, I need to fix their bikes so they can ride around here all day long.

Anyhow, Our new Sunday School class is going to start this Sunday. We're a bit excited and anxious.

Finally, I've updated my website over at www.eggheadhomemedia.com I still have a bit of work to do with adding pictures and detailed info, but the basics are all there. Today I changed it to be a dynamic website. It's all driven from a database which will make it a lot easier to update.

I'll see if I can get some video of Parker-rama riding his bike around.
