mornin stosh!

I thought the otter box didn't fit and did you get your frame yet?Originally posted by jacksonpt
Morning stosh
Nice pics! You've got a good eye... especially those first two.
Some possibilities for me today, but nothing carved in stone. I may be ordering the parts to build up my 575... still waiting on a couple of prices from Trailblazers. I may be riding tonight... waiting to see what the weather does. My otter box for my camera came yesterday, so I may be taking some pics tonight, if I ride. I may run some errands at lunch - gotta do the mother's day thing.
I got an otter box last week that was too small. I returned it and ordered a different one. That's the one that arrived yesterday. The new one is slightly too big... but I can line it with some type of foam padding to take up the extra space and add a little extra cushion. I can fit the camera, 2 batteries, and several memory sticks in the new box, which is good. I just hope it fits in my pack OK.Originally posted by stosh

The frame arrived Tuesday. Victor is giving it a once over for me to makes sure everything is as it should be. So it's here, just not in my posession yet.

Not sure yet, but probably not. More than likely, I'll order the bulk of my parts through Trailblazers, including the headset. I'll probably end up waiting till the parts come in to make the drive, since I want Victor to set the headset for me. Plus it's mother's day weekend, so I'm sure I'll have other obilgations this weekend. I'm hoping to get the parts ordered today or tomorrow, have them arrive over the course of next week, then go pick everythign up next weekend.Originally posted by stosh

Did you decide on a house/condo Jr_B?? If so, details and pics please!Originally posted by Jr_Bullit
Good morning!
Had a Great ride last night long and tiring and fast and fun with lot's of little kickers and things to play on. (but pedaling a single speed with a big ring on a heavy little jump bike is hard up 3 miles of gravel hill to get to the trail head).
I'm all dressed up today ( ) for the long meeting with mortgage bankers and the sponsoring non-profit that's getting me in at such a low rate for so little down . Oh well...it means a half day at work...
Yea... that does seem odd. Is it the actual graduation ceremony, or a grad party?Originally posted by stosh
I have to go to a graduation in NH on Sunday. WTF? Who the hell has a graduation on Sunday and it's mothers day.....
I haven't made an offer on anything yet. I'm uncomfortable with the idea of going shopping without all the cash in my bag yet.Originally posted by MMcG

Yeah...we'll see....my goal is to have my offer made by this time next week. Time to get the ball rolling on this if I'm gonna close by June 30...Originally posted by MMcG

Today is going to be a friggin crazy busy day for me and a long one too. I plan on ending it by having a nice dinner though so at least I have that to look foward to throughout the day.

There are two I'm into...you've already seen the pics of the condo want (which is still available, and the longer it's available hopefully the more willing to negotiate the owners are...they wanna take the appliances with them...ack!)
The other I don't have more than just an exterior photo (see below). Technically it's a double wide...hehehe...I'll be trailer trash! But it's huge (3bed 2 bath), nice, fairly new (1999), and in a good neighborhood. The garage, fenced yard, and privacy it offers in comparison to a condo are amazing!
Where in NH, I'll still be here sunday, will be here until early June.Originally posted by stosh
The ceremony is Sunday. It sucks!
Concord I think but I'll be staying in Londonderry.Originally posted by Rip

I found this dinking around on ebay not too long ago. It's actually do-able in my price range with a 3 car garage....but it means finding land that is prepped and ready to go...
lol! (a little more work than I want for a first time home)

Concord, NH you're only about a 15-20 minute drive from Henniker which is where I am.

lol...I didn't believe my mother at all when she said the new "mobile homes" were not really like trailers. So she made me go walk through a bunch of them last year some time when I first started debating the idea of buying....All I can say is ...Damn! Not like any trailer I've ever seen .Originally posted by Andyman_1970

That could be considered a mansion here in Arkansas.
I must say I like the craftsman style look of the "double wide".Originally posted by Jr_Bullit

Usually they come with mudrooms, and huge bathrooms, gigantic living rooms and then you can do little things like adding on a garage and nice deck or a daylight basement...and voila...monster house! But there's very few places in my area that you can place a typical "trailer". This little complex is unusual. A wealthy landlord guy bought a bunch of land, put in pretty little roads and green lawns and then bought tons of mobiles and placed them on foundations with garages and nice decks and patios and big fenced backyards...Now he's selling off the places. Kinda nice!
What I'm hoping is that nice "clean" look to the neighborhood will attract a quieter group. If I want a party, I'll head to town...but during the week I don't usually like troublesome sorts, and some of the neighborhoods I've seen are downright scary!Originally posted by Andyman_1970
