Chicks, Chips & Boats

I used to watch Ice Road Truckers when it first started but ... how many times can you watch a guy drive over ice. Hmm ... you know ... now that I think about it, its a wonder I still watch porn :D

Well it's because ....... oh never mind:biggrinjester:
 
Ian sometimes watches that ice road trucker show, cracks me up how they can make a reality show on just about anything. He will laugh at me for watching American Idol and then watch Ice Road trucker or the biggest catch:ack2: Although I will confess sometimes I watch the Nanny or Wife Swap. That wife swap show kills me they will pick the two most opposite extreme kind of people and swap them out. Anyone ever catch any of that show, how some families live is beyond me, you can tell you don't need any qualifications to be allowed to have kids.

Donzi welcome back, did you finish the move, any activity on the condo?

Anyone going to the LEOPA Change of Watch party in Monroe next weekend, we are going, it's usually a pretty nice time, I wish more of the LEOPA members would start posting here. Dawn did you know Brian Bunch is going to be vice commador this year, good thing because the VC plans the poker run, so I am sure he will not let it fall on the same weekend as the St Clair race this year.
 
Looks like it's going to warm up to 25 by Sunday when I get there:biggrinjester: See mother nature knows I'm bringing some warmth



Thank-you Jesus and and your own bad self. Stay as close to 75 as you can.
Still snowing, white-out on the E-way, took surface streets home. Wasn't sooooo bad, only a couple Butt-riders. Lots of brake checking. Kept them at bay! I wanna go Taboggining!

That's one of those shows you can relate to better if you have some back ground. I can see where some of it would get to be kind of ho hum to the casual watcher.

Maybe you could change that?:biggrinjester:
 
Closed the office early .... Two of the girls had to go pick up kids from school at 2:30 and 3 so I told them to stay gone and the rest of us left at 4. My uncle plowed my drive at some point but I couldnt really tell til I went out and started shoveling (thought the snow should be deeper :D)

The Realtor called this afternoon and they think they have somebody who is going to make an offer but they are doing a USDA loan and the Realtor is afraid the lender may require some stuff (missing shingles and they may not like the lack of drywall on the ceiling in the living room) I said she could feel free to fix whatever they wanted out of her commission :sifone: She knows my lender will be taking all proceeds and I have no money for repairs so .... you know ... as is really does mean as is .... :rolleyes:

Donna Honey. Yup. Knew that. Brian let me know back when he was elected.... He'll do well. He is such a sweetheart. I'd love to come up but my really cheap kidnapping in February is turning into more expensive than I have available so I'll be saving for that excursion. :ack2:

Ice Road Truckers! Yep. Deadliest Catch! Yep.

I would watch these shows with a beer and Ian anytime. I think that the difference is actuality vs. "reality." I know that whenever cameras show up... things change, but compared to thee reality shows that are totally manipulated by the producers, I think that the ones on discovery are a little more "actual."
Deadliest Catch is awesome. I miss it.

Actually.... USDA Rural Development Loans allow for repair costs to be included in the buyer's loan. Just an FYI. It's part of the nature of a USDA loan. So don't let the realtor be too afraid.

BB's right it would really be nice if we could get more LEOPA members to get active on the board, I think it would help grow the membership and keep the club better in touch, can you do anything about that:)

Yes they do (we close them also) but this is not a loan directly thru USDA. Its a brokered loan that gets guaranteed by USDA... Chase is an example of a lender who does these types of loans. Requirements are a bit different. I think the Realtor was just fishing to see if I would be willing to "borrow" from somebody if necessary .... Im not :D Actually, if improvements are required, and they had to come off of my side, it would come out of what Flagstar would get, since they are taking less than payoff. Im just being stubborn because in my head, a buyer would already be getting the house for 1/2 of what its worth ... or .... once was worth :rolleyes:

Gotcha... apologize that I haven't followed the whole story. Short sale.
Ok. But the buyer still falls into the regular USDA requirements right?
They NEED this house. (USDA folks need to have substandard existing/current housing to qualify I think.) These may be your people.
Good luck.
 
Brian, you are the guy that I met at the Erie Metro launch and then you did the Fall run, right. I try my best to keep everyone straight. I remember you saying your wife does not boat much, hopefully she is making the party, Please tell her to dress up, I don't want to be the only chic in a formal dress:)
 
Yes Donna that was me. My wife is coming but I thought it was a casual event. I am sure she will wear a dress and be looking hot. I also got her out to PIB at the end of the summer with the girls so maybe next summer she will join in on some more boating.
 
NO it is not casual or at least it has never been, the only reason I am going is to dress up and wear something low cut;):boobflash: :D Actually we missed last year but at previous Change of Watch parties the gals wore cocktail dresses and most of the guys wore suits. This year however the invitation says semi formal or business casual so I guess we will see. Vicki Powel said she though people were dressing up, so I hope so or I am going to look out of place. I will be sure to tell you wife you said you knew she would look hot:sifone: What's her name?
 
Ok I will bore you with some photos of my Christmas decorations, I just took them down on Sunday and decided to take a bunch of photos so next year I will remember where I put everything, sorry but I only have photos of three of my five trees :biggrinjester:

in the shot on the left you can see the tree that pays homage to my wine addidiction, if you look close you can see wine bottle ornaments, grapes, and old corks that I turned into Christmas ornaments in the other one you can see some of the snow on the deck, that has not been free of snow since Thanksgiving

Here is the one in my foyer, that tree plays homage to another one of my addictions, Swarvoski Chrystal. I collect their annual star ornaments and some of their other ones. I have a big problem with that tree though, I am pretty clumsy so for some reason I pick that tree and those ornaments to break, I now have two ornaments for each of the last six years, one broken and a new one replaced on Ebay:o

The other photo is of my Christmas Village, I used to be into to those but now I don't put them all up, but still enjoy looking at them.

Hey Donna, where is the pic of that "Alien" Kirbster cum'n out of my belly????????????????????:26:
 
do you see Kirby's Christmas stocking hanging on the Bannister, it's right in between mine and Ian's, I figured it was appropriate, since that's how we sleep each night. If I reach over to give Ian a hug the first words out of his mouth are BE CAREFUL of KIRBY, and this is coming from someone that said he did not want another dog:)
