With everything available on YouTube I don't really know what I have to add anymore. I'm thinking of a total old school demonstration of a direct layout... chicken scratches to indicate where the lettering is and let it happen direct from my hand and the brush. Been cleanin' out the area in the...

#3 rules!

I was just telling my wife this morning about my idea (I got from someone on here) to film a DVD series on hand lettering and pinstriping. I will demonstrate a few complete fonts, brush handling and proper thinning of paint. The weather is unseasonably warm right now, but we're due at least one...

I mentioned on another thread my idea of offering freelance design work for your layout backlog. I am entire willing to let you decide what the final product is worth to you to pay me, I won't argue with it ever. Before I decide to purchase a merchant membership, I wanted to try and get an idea...

This is OT, but I remember back when I worked as a striper at American IronHorse Motorcycle factory a contingent of about 30 guys flew into the airport up the road from Austin. It was Michael Dell and associates coming to view the factory to see about investing in it as we were the #2 mfr of...

I'm sure to some of you the idea of being retired already at age 58 has a certain appeal. It did to me initially. The first few weeks had a lot of boredom mixed in. Then, I bought a beautiful new guitar and decided my new career would be to master a playing style I had never attempted before. I...

Well, my baby girl is engaged as I've previously told you. Just got a call from my youngest son... and....... he is too! Now, if we could just convince them to have a double wedding so my son's fiance's family could split the cost with me. Wondering how to bring it up....

At 58, my wife won't let me do ladders anymore. This reminds me of when my shop was in a huge, unused aircraft hangar. We got some of those rolling stairs out of a junk pile at the airport and made a rolling stage that went on both sides of 18 wheelers (we could get 5 at once in the hangar). We...

You're right Doug. Since I have nothing but time on my hands now, I turned in my volunteer paperwork to the school today to get to go hang around there during her last year or two. Good point about being able to relate when she's reminiscing.

I can't tell you how many times we've been somewhere in public and an adult will come up to my wife and say "Hi Mrs. Kalon... do you remember me?". Without fail, after studying their face a few seconds, she calls them by name. That has to be a gift because, I'm sorry, people's looks change from...

For the past 31 years my wife has taught Kindergarten at the same campus in our district. The past years have seen her teaching the children of former students. She is an institution in the small community suburb of Ft. Worth where parents come to registration specifically requesting their child...

Maybe someone can help me out here because I ask every returning service person the question:"any idea of how many of the enemy you personally took out?". I honestly want to know what's wrong with the question. All I've heard so far is nobody wants to be asked about taking another human life. I...

Bay window buses are crap. The DESIRABLE ones are the splitties with the two piece flat front windshields. They quit making them in '67. It's at the top of my bucket list to own one again someday. Merrit Graphics dangled a carrot in front of me by telling me he had one stored in a barn somewhere...

Thanks Sar. We Do genuinely care for him and were worried continually while he was in a hot spot in Afghanistan. I feel so sorry for him that he had to deploy and lose contact with Kait. Her current fiance is everything a father could want for his daughter. But Alex would have filled the bill...

About a year ago, Kaitlyn became what she said was "friends only" with a Hispanic young man who was in the Army. My wife actually taught him in Kindergarten. They had about two months together before he was to deploy to the Helmand province In Afghanistan. I warned Kait this young man was...

this is second time I've been told I look like him - especially back when I still colored my hair. When I was younger, believe it or not, I was ALWAYS told I looked like Paul McCartney. Of course, you'd never know it now since HE can afford plastic surgery to get rid of fat deposits in...

I heard that when Rodney King got his million bucks from the city of Los Angeles for the beating he sustained at the hands of L.A.'s finest, he wanted to open a bar and call it THE CLUB RODNEY KING.

I think Ovation's never would have taken the dive into obscurity they've suffered the last 20 years or so if they had never come up with the shallow bowl concept. They are acoustic guitars, and even with onboard electronics, the players are gonna want to play them unplugged quite a lot. The...

wow Colin... you blow my mind sometimes. I don't know if that's supposed to be an example of fingerstyle playing for me (not) or simply "Who'd A Thunk It" that I'm disappearing from here? Either way, I dig the guys music and collection of cheap guitars he's playing. Lots of pickers are using OLD...

Actually, here's quite a revolt going on at the site now. Long time members are mutinying and jumping ship at an incredible rate. The forum owner named a price for it I'm considering. I'd like to clear the gestappo out of it.
