Some Big News

As I have said before I started looking for a house this winter. And after looking at numerous houses, seeing lots of bad ones and a few good ones. I found one that I liked and I put an offer on it and it was accepted. I had it inspected on Friday and it was all good. So now all I have to wait for is for the final word from the bank, I dont expect any problems, but you never know. So as long as everything goes well I will move in Mar 1st.





It is nothing special, just a two bedroom house in town. It has a decent sized lot and a one stall garage. The current owners recently passed away so their kids are trying to sell the house so all the furniture that is left in the pictures is mine. The inside needs alittle updating but that is stuff that I like to do. The basement is also livable and in nice condition, so that gives me lots of space.

Some may ask why I want a house when I am not in Hibbing half of the year, but I want my own space and want to invest my money in something. So while house prices in Hibbing are still cheap I decided to buy one.

Hopefully everything else goes well, Ill just have to wait and see.

And yes the 1950's stove does work......and I know that the wall paper is mildly frightening.

A while back

I had mentioned that my mom was working on another project for me, and here it is. My mom and I jointly made them for a friends of ours. I hope that she enjoys them!!!

This is what eating goldfish crackers does to you

I've got you beat

For all of you who are complaining about the cold........well I have got you all beat. See I live in Northern MN and well -20 windchills are common for us. So that is nothing. When I woke up this morning it was -26 without the windchill factored in. When I was a senior in High School we had a day where it was -40 without the windchill. So if you think you have it bad remember that it could always be worse.

Dont get me wrong I dont like the cold but it could be worse.

Happy Groundhogs Day!!!!

Happy Groundhogs Day Everyone!!! Here is what the offical groundhog had to say this morning!!

Phil Says Spring is Right Around the Corner!

Phil's official forecast as read 2/2/07 at 7:28 a.m. at Gobbler's Knob:

El Nino has caused high winds, heavy snow, ice and freezing temperatures in the west.
Here in the East with much mild winter weather we have been blessed.

Global warming has caused a great debate.
This mild winter makes it seem just great.

On this Groundhog Day we think of one thing.
Will we have winter or will we have spring?

On Gobbler's Knob I see no shadow today.
I predict that early spring is on the way.

This is the first time since like 1999 that phil hasn't seen his shadow. Hmm wonder if he is right.
