  1. One shot paint

    As usual, one of our resident smokin foxes hit it right on the money. House of Kolor urethanes are what all the helmet painters I know use and I worked with at least half a dozen of them when I pinstriped for 4 years at a motorcycle factory. Looks like you've already gone the 1Shot route, and...
  2. My first time lettering awnings (with paint)

    I discovered that the bleed under can be vigorously scrubbed away soon as the paint is dry with a rag SATURATED with paint thinner (I use oil base paint beginning with a coat of Ronan quick dry primer block out). The paint ghosting it produces at the edge of letters soaks into the material and...
  3. Can we discuss politics without getting political?

    Where politics is concerned, all I'm gonna say is it's very apparent politicians in this country have lost (or abandoned) the statesmanly art of disagreeing without being disagreeable.
  4. Wow, this should be a fun job/customer...

    For some reason, this instantly made me remember a trucker with a green metallic Freightliner who wanted all his custom designed lettering in "3 other shades of green that look good with the green of the truck". He couldn't be persuaded otherwise.
  5. Cutawl Blades

    If "bob" doesn't see this ya might send him a PM. I sold him two Cutawls over the past couple of years and am sure he's tracked down suppliers by now.
  6. Wearing Out Welcome???

    You should read a whole thread before shooting your mouth off. I'm gonna let you find it, but somewhere in this thread is a post about how we found out about the cell phone records.
  7. Wearing Out Welcome???

    This reply is for Jill as well. Remember I said the guy my daughter is texting, his mother is one of my wife's best friends? She apparently keeps tabs on his cell phone records at her home - why, I don't know - and shares the info with my wife. I have always respected my kids privacy. I grew up...
  8. Wearing Out Welcome???

    That's been along the lines of what I've been picturing with this wedding. BTW, your avatar looks like my son's dog - a rottweiler/shepherd mix. He weighs 115 lbs and barks as loud as a lion I heard roar in a zoo.
  9. Wearing Out Welcome???

    She is 21 and so is he. I am trying to figure out just how to confront her about it. Honestly, they can't afford to be married. I have a fear in less than 2 years they'll be needing to live with us, and I am not going for that. This guy is a sweet kid - very considerate. He is always feeling the...
  10. Wearing Out Welcome???

    I know I have friends on here who will shoot straight with me, so here goes. My daughter is engaged and her wedding date is still 9 weeks away. For the past 3 or 4 months her fiance has been here EVERY day of the week from just before supper time til around 9pm. We gained another mouth to feed -...
  11. Son scammed by Fillipino for $400

    My son told me he was chatting with me on gmail a few days ago and agreed to wire $400 to the Phillipines for me to pay for an online purchase. I ripped him a good one - asked him how he could possibly NOT know he wasn't talking to me. He said the guy was totally convincing. He sent the money...
  12. Shovelhead Show on FB

    Man, being friends with Big Al on Facebook gets tiring sometimes. He's started what appears to be his own conservative program on FB. I can't open it up without there being 10 new posts from him in a row - all political comment, sparsely interspersed with recipes and food photos. Can't unfriend...
  13. Oscar-winning film star Ernest Borgnine dies in LA at age 95

    Andy Griffith and now Borgnine. Wonder who the third member of the usual trifecta will be? Any bets?
  14. What service for your Cell Phones?

    Please accept my apology in advance - but I am hijacking this thread to rant about our AT&T service (actually, it may be of some benefit in your decision making). We have been unable to use either of our two phones for going on two weeks now - no ability to make or receive calls or texts from in...
  15. Sunday Morning Funnies for Old Curmedgeons

    Damn, I had NEVER considered considered being a dope peddler until I listened to that praising ditty on the career.
  16. Possibly greatest elec. guitar solo ever? PRINCE!

    You're absolutely right about Tommy Emmanuel. I'm getting ready to tackle a few fingerstyle guitar instruction dvd's of his. If I could end up able to play with only 10% of his ability I'll be light years ahead of over half the guitar pickers out there because right now "there's fourteen hundred...
  17. Possibly greatest elec. guitar solo ever? PRINCE!

    That was the title my friend gave to his FB post with this video - not my words. I will admit tho watching this gets my adrenaline pumping. I get pissed to see Prince toss that wonderful Telecaster in the air at the end.
  18. Possibly greatest elec. guitar solo ever? PRINCE!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lZ1Mu78VFM A friend of mine who is a successful Nashville songwriter and blues performer in his own right named Randy Handley recently posted this on Facebook. He said it demonstrates Prince's often overlooked genius. The solo comes at the end of the song but I...
  19. Ya just have to wonder...................

    I read something online the other day that said the Nigerian scammers are for the most part intelligent, educated people. It said they compose their letters with spelling and grammatical errors on purpose to weed out the people who are too smart to fall for their ploy. Apparently, there are...
  20. Pass me a beer

    Total OT reply here, but I wanted to tell you about my oldest son's beer fetching dog. He's a 120 pound shepherd/rottweiler mix and a very beautiful animal. He seems to understand a vocabulary a three year old human would as far as following directions. To teach him a new trick takes my son a...
