WE ARE NUMBER TWO! WOO HOO!
OK, so most people do not bragg about being #2 (not like Avis did years ago) but we are pretty proud of it here in ND these days... especially Western North Dakota.
Most of my posts over the last 3 years have been related to either our flooding in the Mouse River Valley or the Oil Boom in Western North Dakota. This post is Oil related. I capitalize Oil because man-o-man Oil is bringing in the Capital.
I've post many pleas for contractors to get their idle crews off their rear ends and out here … (3 comments)

realtor: Oh Yea, Then There's THAT!

Oh Yea, Then There's THAT!
INK
In setting up my new office I decided to add ink-jet printers to each desk in addition to the networked color laser copier/printer. I like having a printer on my desk so if I'm printing something personal, like a receipt from eBay, no one else has to see it plus sometimes I just don't want to leave my work area when I'm immersed in my work.
The one thing I did remembered about ink-jet printers was that ink is just about as expense as gold. I also remembered that I used to purchase ink cartridges … (3 comments)

realtor: CHRISTMAS... Thank God for the Commercialization!
- 12/25/11 04:52 AM
CHRISTMAS... Thank God for the Commercialization!
Speaking as a dedicated Christian, follower of the Savior of the world Christ Jesus, I am so happy that Christmas has become extreamly commercialized.
In the USA nearly 90% of our citizens profess a Christian faith, I'm guessing that like myself you are among those 90%.
I would also guess that if you ask those who do not know Christ in the USA what are the two biggest holidays you would overwhelming hear Christmas and Easter.
Many people think that Christmas has been taken over by Satan masquerading as Santa Claus and that retail has totally corrupted the meaning … (6 comments)

realtor: REALTORS...A DIVERSE GROUP!
- 12/20/11 06:07 AM
REALTORS...A DIVERSE GROUP!
It never ceases to amaze me what a diverse group we Realtors are. Granted some folks hold a Real Estate license as a hobby or even just for their own purchasing benefits. Some Real Estate professionals hold a second job out of necessity just to make ends meet. Many Real Estate professionals have a second occupation because it works well with a hobby. Heck I know one Real Estate agent who's a clown (actually a magician but I think of him as a clown).
I've noticed that a few Realtors really excell at that 2nd vocation BUT I've … (10 comments)

realtor: There is No "Right To Receive" or "Obligation To Give"!
- 12/02/11 01:34 AM
There is No "Right To Receive" or "Obligation To Give"!
I consider myself to be a generous giver. I give more to the church I attend then I think I can afford (but it always works out) and I also give to various charities of my choosing.
At this time of year we are all besieged by pleas to give to just about every cause we can think of... as well as a few we never dreamed of.
The purpose of this post is to relate to you the receiving experience we experienced through the flood disaster Minot ND experienced … (13 comments)

realtor: The NEW (1996) RealMan Mobile.
- 11/24/11 02:41 PM
The NEW (1996) RealMan Mobile.
With the demise of the Kia and the sale of my Dodge Grand Caravan I absolutely had to start the search for a new "RealMan" mobile. I don't believe I mentioned the sale of the Caravan previously but the Caravan was the most recent bearer of the "RealMan" license plates and wore them proudly for 3 years. So many things started to fail on the Caravan that when I thought I should buy new tires I felt it was just plain "totaled out".
I love driving the Kia but even I can not imagine asking a client … (5 comments)

realtor: Winter Is Here, Crash Boom Bang!

Winter Is Here, Crash Boom Bang!
Yesterday we got our first taste of Winter. An unpredicted 6" of snow came roaring in with strong winds. I think the winds were predicted but no one predicted the snow.
Having a large Air Force Base here we are used to our share of accidents with the first snowfall. For many of the fine men and women on the base it's the first time they have seen snow. Well it's compounded this year with our oil boom and a whole lot more drivers who have never seen or driven in snow before.

realtor: Who Says An Old Dog Can't Teach YOU New Tricks???

Who Says An Old Dog Can't Teach YOU New Tricks???
Jack is a 12 year old mutt. He loves to fetch but we've never known him to actually catch a ball. Even at the age of 12 he will run after a ball much longer then your arm will hold out throwing the ball.
Jack has never done steps. He will run up them (in shear terror) if he has to but forget him ever going down steps on his own.
So what will he do if he is in the mood to play fetch and no one is paying … (13 comments)

realtor: HURTING CONTRACTORS NEED TO HEAD TO MINOT ND
- 10/29/11 02:05 AM
HURTING CONTRACTORS NEED TO HEAD TO MINOT ND
It's been a while since I sent out a plea for contractors to come to Minot if they want business. Business that they can charge full price for, rebuild their companies and retain their good workers. Minot and Western North Dakota is, and will remain, America's major boom area for a minimum of 5 years and more likely for 20 years.
In the last week it has been re-affirmed that Western North Dakota is sitting on more recoverable oil then Saudi Arabia. WAY more!
For several years now I've been posting about our … (7 comments)

AMAZING ART by The World's Greatest Artist!
Any one who has or had vision has viewed this artists work at some time or another. He has worked with every form or art known to man and most likely some art we are not even aware of. I'd like to say that my favorite works are his visual presentations but when I think of his musical skills and culinary skills it's really hard to pick my favorite.
This post is about a very recent work, finished sometime last night or very early this morning. This beautiful piece was created under his … (18 comments)

realtor: Thankful Thursday, "It's Not Cancer"

Thankful Thursday, "It's Not Cancer"
I'm a guy who is very much aware of cancer and always concerned as to if it has crept into my personal life. Cancer does run in both sides of my parents families and my Dad died of cancer so when I felt a lump in my chest (and it was sore) I didn't waste any time in having it checked out.
As one who has chosen not to participate in a health care program I always think twice about going in and usually give the symptom a week to see if it will disappear … (5 comments)

Creative Beginnings Daycare Center, Minot North Dakota has been a God send for our family. Daycare Availability In Minot North Dakota is a challange to say the least. For those of you who read this blog on a regular basis you are aware that Minot North Dakota has been experiencing a housing boom over the last two years due to our Air Force Base expansion and an Oil Boom with the biggest oil find in North American history.

realtor: Minot ND Business of the Day, by Bob Timm, Realtor
- 08/02/09 09:51 AM
My business choice of the day is Home Of Economy in Minot ND. Here is a small regional chain (I believe about 4 stores) that has not only survived but thrived in the shadows of the big box stores that have popped up around it. If you live in Minot ND and you have not been to Home Of Economy shame on you. It is conveniently located on 20th Ave SE just across from Kmart. As you can see from the sign above a great deal of Home Of Economy's business is farm related but I assure you there is … (6 comments)

realtor: Boo at the Zoo
- 10/22/08 01:30 PM
The Roosevelt Park Zoo in Minot North Dakota holds an annual open house called "Boo at the Zoo" and it starts this Friday (October 24th).
Kids day is Saturday and I strongly suggest it for younger kids. On kids day they leave the lights on so it's not so scary. My kids went when they were 6 and 5 and they were so scared they were crying and we had to back out (this was with the lights on). Also when you come be sure to bring your patience as there is usually an incredible line.
The scary version is … (2 comments)

realtor: Not All Water Is Frozen In North Dakota
- 09/27/08 02:53 PM
Yes it gets cold up here but for heavens sake it's not cold year around. I'm sure no matter where you live you get some pretty crazy questions. Most often I'm asked if it ever warms up in North Dakota. The answer is of course, YES! Our springs are a little slow to come around, like late April to early May. My birthday is in mid May and it is highly unusual for things NOT to be budding and turning green. One big plus with our late spring is we hardly ever see any misquetoes until late June or July. As … (3 comments)

realtor: Down and Dirty!
- 09/20/08 01:26 AM
Every website, every blog, and every agent out there is going to tell you how wonderful they are and ask you to "consider" them. I want you to "consider" this: If you want to list a house make sure you have made up your mind as to if you want to sell or if you want to stay. If you are looking for a home make sure you have made the decision to buy. I know my time is valuable and so is the time of my clients. If you want to sell your house and you want to … (0 comments)

realtor: The Arts In Minot ND
- 09/01/08 11:30 AM
My mother gave me a great appreciation for the Fine Arts. She, Sofia, was very active in Fargo and she was the President and Manager of The Fargo Fine Arts Club House. Her love for the Arts gave all us "kids" the same appreciation she had. Although my oldest brother is a physiologist he is a very talented artist with a canvas and has had excellent success of late selling his work. My other brother is very gifted at creating jewelry. I and my sister are a little lacking but we both love the theater and more.
As small as Minot … (0 comments)
