  1. This is ONE SWEET RIDE,,,I Want One!!!!

    At first glance, it reminded me of a Studebaker Hawk (I think that's the model) convertible... the very low slung look. Unlike bob (whom I am usually in 1000% agreement with) I dig it very much. Thinking of blowing part of retirement stash on one as we speak. Think it'd be a good investment as...
  2. Happy Birthday ELVIS

    I'll never have a problem remembering how long it's been since my dad died. He died same year as Elvis at same age, just about two months before Elvis. I get reminded every year with anniversary of Elvis' death.
  3. Embarrassing moments in your shop?

    I embarassed myself and got into trouble at the first sign shop I trained in. The owner (whom we'll call Malcom - because that was his name) was married to a redhead who was WAY better looking of a woman than Malcolm should have been able to snag. Malcolm liked to flash his money around and we...
  4. Sad Story, ideas on how I should help?

    Reminds me of 39 years ago during my Senior year of HS. Three of my classmates were killed in a collision with a cement mixer truck. I can tell ya firsthand their friends take it very hard. I still cringe when I think of the family of one of the two girls killed. Their remaining five year old...
  5. Anyone using solar to power their home or business?

    On a related note... I just read a story today about a wall coating that's supposed to be available by 2012. The coating illuminates on the wall and has a dimmer switch. It said it can be solar powered as well. Supposed to eliminate the need for light bulbs in a room. Sounds cool to me.
  6. My public commitment lol

    Ya, and ya need to hook me up with some smelt!
  7. The erection....

    It doesn't appear to be on a concrete slab?
  8. Dressing up my daughers lappy for xmas..

    When I saw the term "lappy" in your title, it reminded me I haven't watched any of Strongbad's emails on homestarrunner.com in way too long. Just viewed half a dozen of them and his "crappy lappy". If ya go to the site, select sbemail from the tiny text at bottom of screen. Hilarious. Thanks for...
  9. Another Vintage Sign

    You're having too much fun all the while inspiring the hell out of me.
  10. RV Trailer Graphic

    Only thing that struck me was it looks like a big guitar pick - other'n that, it's cool.
  11. Pawn Stars and Kerning?

    I love the show. I especially like the one where they bought a Piper airplane in need of total refurbishing. After what they had to spend to get it flying they were still looking at a $15,000 profit after selling it. The old man rocks - he taught his son well.
  12. What is your sign shop xmas present to yourself?

    Nice. I ordered the complete bass instruction course from bassguitarsecrets.com. My bass playing has gotten stagnant the last few years. This course came highly recommended to pump my playing up. Never too old to learn more.
  13. Vintage Storefronts - A Flikr Slideshow

    Thanks for sending me on a vision quest to find my next place of residence!
  14. Vintage Storefronts - A Flikr Slideshow

    I've thought about that... the identifying aspect of the town was that it had all circular intersecting streets - doubt such a place exists. If it did, I'd move there now and set up shop. I'm sure it was just a subconscious manifestation of a longing for the good old days. The company I...
  15. Vintage Storefronts - A Flikr Slideshow

    The golden age of signpainting. I'll be eternally grateful I got in on the tail end of this kind of work. It's gone now for the most part. Reminds me of a beautiful dream I had awhile back. I lived in a town comprised of circular streets where I was the only signpainter. I did every storefront...
  16. Wrongly convicted...

    I think they should be compensated to the tune of one million tax free dollars for every year wrongly spent behind bars. I think Texas is leading the nation in exonerations. It's sort of telling of the mentality of prosecutors zealously convicting mostly minorities. But of course, Texas is the...
  17. Can't find font for channel letters...

    Damn that was fast!!!
  18. Can't find font for channel letters...

    I have to design channel letters from this business card. I know I've seen this font but can't recall what it is. Thanks.
  19. Should you fire this employee?

    Same here... only person I've ever fired was a brother in law. I imported him from Indiana to be a salesman based on father in law's relentless effort to get me to give him a job. Father in law said his son could sell anything. He was a totally brainwashed Amway guy. I drove past the shop one...
  20. Should you fire this employee?

    As harsh as this is going to sound, I'm ready to say let him go immediately. He is in a desperate situation that is his to own and has nothing to do with you. He has already committed criminal acts against you by stealing tools and pawning them. He sounds like a great guy however, who has been...
