Things that put the Patrol on the back burner.

[Keith]

Hobby farm things that made me fall off the Patrol radar for the last 7 years & a second job.

What part of the Passion Play are you most noted for? Acting or supporting staff?
I've been once...back in ~1999, but would like to go again. I absolutely loved it. Very emotional, even though I knew the ending!

And is this what Dannette looks like? Or, does Dannette know this is your gorlfriend?

Well, at least the Patrols didn't become another bunny house, or a goat house.

I'm an Usher up top where people set. Come see us again. New onwners, lower admission fees, little different scences, but the story still ends the same. Danette knows. I let her drool over Keith Urban & she lets me do the same for Miranda. I'll add a few photo of us.

if you come back for another visit, you better give me a heads up. Keith, i must say that you have good taste in girl friends.

you have a neat farm, and using that old bus to raise rabbits in is a great idea. I bet you had fun dragging that up to your place.

thx. The bus is perfect for rabbits. I gutted it & built a wall behind the drivers seat area for a storm door. It has the rubber mat floor & a trap door @ the back that was axcess for mechanical work. I jacked up the front of the bus so just hose it toward the back, out the floor door into the poo pit @ the side. We had a time dragging it here. Only had to drag it 1/2 mile from the inlaws @ the highway to my place in the back hayfield. Here's the kicker, back axle was locked up. So a friend brings his HUGE Mahindra cab tractor out. (This thing is so big that i used the front loader one winter to pick my 84 Silverado 4wd out of the run off ditch.) We get a massive log chain, hook it to the bus & start dragging. First 1/4 mile is dwn hill so not that hard of a drag. I'm sitting on the pedestal where the seat should be, trying to steer this behemoth Trailways bus with a marquee sign bound for Kemper Arena, Kansas City , slowy bumping & jumping dwn the drive toward the very narrow curved pond bank that we have to cross to get to my house. Friend has the back glass of the tractor cab open so we can communicate. Did i mention it was a very short log chain? Anywhoo we are approaching the pond when the rear axle frees itself & the bus begins to roll. I'm suddenly gaining on the tractor I yell @ friend but the roar of the tractor is too loud. Do i jump? seconds before i smack his rear window that is sticking straight out he looks back & grabs the handle & pulls it closed as I'm smashing into his rear tires. You know the saying "here hold my & watch this" well if you could have seen the look on these two redneck boys faces when the bus began to push the tractor toward the pond. He managed to brake & shift enough to get us stopped before the pond. the bus has huge black marks on the bumper from his tires. the 3 point hitch stabbed the windshield frame. glass all ready had holes from Bubba . Then dragging it uphill the nxt 1/4 mile to the house was uneventful.

Keith gets the award for the best use of smilies in a post. What a great story! I remember the story of you driving your Patrol home from CA being this entertaining.

You bet. My grandad had a place in the Ozarks and I love it back up in those hills. I would love to get back up to Eureka Springs one day.

Keith the Passion Play was my favorite part of our trip to Eureka Springs many years ago. Glad to hear it is still running!
