December 8 - 6:00 PM. It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!
December 9 - We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the Whole World? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had. Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life.
December 12 - The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment. My neighbor tells me not to worry, we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. l don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor.
December 14 - Snow lovely snow! 8" last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath way,but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish l wouldn't huff and puff so.
December 15 - 20 inches forecasted. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out.I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.
December 16 - Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, Which I think was very cruel.
December 17 - Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.
December 20 - Electricity's back on, but had another 14" of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling. Took all day. Damn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.
December 22 - Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white stuff fell today, and it's so cold it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to pee. By the time I got undressed, peed and dressed again. I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter; but he says he's too busy. I think the a**hole is lying.
December 23 - Only 2" of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she nuts!!!Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did but I think she's lying.
December 24 - 6". Snow packed so hard by snowplow, l broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snow plow I'll drag him through the snow by his you know what and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been. Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the damn snowplow.
December 25 - Merry fricking Christmas! 20 more inches of the damn snow tonight. Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a fricking idiot. If I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave.
December 26 - Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.
December 27 - Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze, plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me 1,400 to replace all my pipes.
December 28 - Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. THE BI**H is driving me crazy!!!
December 29 - 10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?
December 30 - Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver he is now suing me for a million dollars not only the beating I gave him but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his *&%. The wife went home to her mother. 9" predicted.
December 31 - I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.
January 8 - Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?
Has anyone heard how bad the economy is? It seems we can hardly pass a display of new, flat screen TV's in Wal-Mart without hearing some prognosticator spouting off about the doom and gloom. Has the world economy put the brakes on? Heck yes. This slow down in the economy has also opened several doors. With credit and money in general being tighter, many people are looking for good deals when they purchase items. Our live public auctions are a great way to buy and sell in the current economy.
More people are attending our auctions looking for good deals on items and equipment they need. Check out this link to see this is happening in Australia too. This means if you have extra tools or equipment lying around now may be a good time to sell them and turn them into cash. We broadcast our auctions live on the internet. We sell items at auction to buyers from all over the country. If you have items to sell or need to raise some extra cash, give us a call. We offer confidential, no obligation consultations. If you are looking to save some money over buying new, check out our auctions at www.whitleyauction.com. A penny saved, is a penny earned. Shop at Whitley Auctions.

Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. Auctioneers and managers recently attended the Colorado Auctioneers Association Convention held in Denver, Colorado. While there, they attended seminars on auction methods and continuing auction education. National experts in their areas of expertise presented these seminars. Real Estate auctions are a hot topic. There were several opportunities to learn about new, cost efficient ways to market and sell real estate at auction. David Whitley, RMEB CEO and lead Auctioneer said, "As the economy and real estate market has weakened, we have been inundated with requests from people to conduct real estate auctions. We are always looking for more ways to effectively market and sell real estate in a short period.
A nationally acclaimed author and speaker presented two seminars on time management and organization. Auctioneer Casey Giddings stated, "Our clients keep us incredibly busy. Time management is one of our most important tools in the auction business." Casey also participated in the Colorado Champion Auctioneer Contest. She made everyone at RMEB very proud of her auctioneering skills.
Everyone at RMEB believes in constantly learning so that we can provide superior service to our clients. The Colorado Auctioneers Association 2009 Convention was not only educational for us it was fun. We live, breathe and sleep (when we get to sleep!) the auction business. We look forward to meeting you and discussing how we can solve your problems.

SELLING AT AUCTION:
Many owners of real estate do not have months or years to wait for a property to sell. You may face the need or desire to relocate, need to settle an estate or divorce, change your business or raise immediate cash. You may own a unique property that is hard to appraise and want to maximize its value using competitive bidding.

RMEB can generate the maximum interest in your property and get it sold.

Our Accelerated Marketing campaigns make your property stand out from others. We bring qualified potential buyers to your property. Our creative marketing plans target a wide audience and create demand for your property. Having numerous ready, willing and able buyers for your property increases its market value.
Public Auctions are the choice of many smart individuals who desire true market value for their property in a short time period. Our Auctions allow you, the Seller, to pick the date you will sell your property. RMEB's Real Estate Auctions allow you to set the terms under which you want to sell your property. When you choose the terms of the contract, you can forget about dealing with numerous buyer contingencies.
We urge Sellers to complete property disclosure forms disclosing everything they know about the subject property. Full disclosure is important to create a large pool of potential buyers that is confident in the sale process. We create comprehensive Property Information Packages that present pertinent property information to potential Buyers.

Boulder Good Samaritan Village Auction
Our situation was somewhat difficult as extensive negotiations were required with our national campus office to approve the auction contract. This process stressed the timeframe for the auction but David was patient and provided necessary input on an as-needed basis during these negotiations.
When the date for the auction arrived, RMEB executed the event very smoothly and efficiently.
In short, I highly recommend RMEB as an Auction Company. You will not be disappointed!
