I had to strip off the old vynull and put on new last night, when I got there it was raining....I toughed it out and GOT ER DONE. It's a Gary Godby Font called "Brien" and you can buy it at www.letterheadfonts.com (this is not a paid political add for letterhead fonts, or the weather channel, or any boat company, or a vynull company, or squeegee maker, or minnesota plaid clothing, but please buy Joey's Killer kart.)

The residents of this site are just so supportive of letterhead fonts. I really do love them. I just don't get why Chuck doesn't consider advertising here. That really does boggles my mind.
Oh yeah, ... why buy the cow .....
Hmmmmm ... maybe I could help. If he signs up as a merchant TODAY, I'll buy a ... make that two fonts TODAY to add to my collection.
I give you my word.
Deal ... or no Deal?
Nice boat job Mike, and nice plug too. Glad Barb could help by resizing and posting those pix for you too.

Thanks Nettie, if you look close, the glasses are all rain drops....hard to see but lucky for me, I can feel the vynull.....hahahahahaha
Chuck, well, that's up to him. I think he would sell alot of fonts here, yes. The pics? I can't post, and come on..it's tradition!

Hey, keep your eyes on what your doin'!!!LOL...Just kiddin'. I wanna "be like Mike". Can you teach me to hit "free throws" with my eyes closed? Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :
Kelsey....ya ever hear of "HOCKEY?" hell, you Texans stole our North Stars and went and got a Cup down thar in Big D! The only good thing about basketball is the artwork on the courts.
If this job was to be painted, I would have to do it another time, but instead, it looks like he wants it to, and I get paid. Vynull is a good tool. just a tool.

Hey Stevo, that is a MINNESOTA WILD hat, and I wear ir everyday and i never got a cold all this winter, (course it was not much of a winter) but it confortable, and the chicks seem to dig it......you should try one!
Posted by Dave Correll (Member # 100) on :
That has a very nice look to it Mike...well done m-boy! Why buy application fluid when you can just apply vinyl in the rain?
Posted by Daniel Gervais (Member # 5684) on :
Transfer tape, what transfer tape did you use !!! lol
Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :

Posted by John Lennig (Member # 2455) on :
Mike, did you wait until it was raining, just so you could add in the "Doing it in the Water Surcharge""???
looks real nice, looks like part of the whole boat design! John

Mike, you know how I like to bust your chops about the posting thing. Call it tradition too.

haha I'm a big boy Nettie, I can take it.......heck, I'm a member of CJ's "Sign Clique!"
(Which reminds me, I think it's my turn to bring the brownies this weekend for Bingo.....CJ calls a good game)

Mike......I'm on to you. Toque, plaid shirt, hockey talk.....ever hear the word HOSER. You're just another wanna be Canadian. Come on up - we'll take you.
Hey Nettie - I'll add to your challenge - I'll buy $150+ worth - and my word is good too. Truth is I'll probably eventually break down and spend that anyhow, (but only if I get my T-shirt ) so there goes the incentive. I'd just spend it a lot easier if I knew there wasn't a personal moral dilemma attached from the past.
Pride is a big thing - I suspect it will continue to rule. Like I said on an earlier post, we can only see things from the inside out.
It's unfortunate - because I think it would be a win/win situation and would make a lot of customers happy. C'est la vie.....
Posted by Bob Stephens (Member # 858) on :
I had no idea that Letterhead fonts wasnt an advertiser here. I just spent $450.00 this past month on Letterhead fonts and that was only because I heard about them here.
Oh...and nice work Mike!
Posted by Steve Shortreed (Member # 436) on :
Great lookin' job as usual Mike!
A few comments on the Letterhead Fonts situation that has become a secondary topic in this thread.
Over the years, we have invited this company to join us as Merchants. A couple years back, there was a unfortunate incident that resulted in some bickering. I cannot even remember exactly what that was all about.
There is no personality conflict as far as I am concerned. I've only meet Chuck once in person. That was at a California Conclave years ago. We were introduced, talked briefly, shook hands and got back to doing meet stuff.
Letterhead Fonts is an excellent product. Many of those contributing fonts to the collection are Letterville regulars. The product would fit in perfectly here and we would love to have them. At least once a week, we get a call or e-mail from someone who thinks we are Letterhead Fonts. I always give them Chuck's number, along with a request to tell him Steve sent them.
For some reason Chuck has no love for Letterville. I can only assume that includes me, since he refuses to even talk with me. It's frustrating to know you are on someone's Bad Apple List and not know why. I cannot fix things if I don't know what is broken, but I will keep trying.
Am I happy about all the free promotion these guys get here in Letterville? Nope! Letterhead Fonts is getting a free benefit other Merchants pay for. He's profitting from Letterville. You guys have the benefit of learning about his great fonts. It's a great deal if Barb and I weren't so damn greedy. We support this website with income we earn by helping others make money via advertising. In this case that is not happening.
So what are we going to do to stop it? Nothing. Unlike a print publication, there is no opportunity to edit anything. Even if there was, there are many more constructive ways to spend our time. Keep buying Letterhead Fonts. I'd like to own more myself. The only goal of this post is to state the facts from our side of the fence, and prevent assumptions that too often lead to mud slinging.

Nice clean job Mike. I think letterheads should adopt the Postman's creed...they're not using it anymore ...neither rain, nor snow nor dark of night...\ Posted by captain ken (Member # 742) on :
The one time I mentioned advertising here to Chuck his reponse was, "why doesn't Steve advertise on MY site?" Why don't you two sign a truce and swap links?
not to hijack the post Mike, beautiful layout.

Rain or shine, you da man!
Posted by Deb Fowler (Member # 1039) on :
Mike, The font you chose is beautiful. What did you use for the shadow? Is it a shadowing gray material or a normal vinyl gray? What do you recommend?
Posted by Curtis hammond (Member # 2170) on :
Very nice work I luv it,,
And, I moved up here to the great white norf. (snowland) and see tons of boats sailing in storage areas, in yards and on marina dry docks. But, I don't get to see them in the water with perky scantily clad moving around the decks. whats up with that?

Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :
Deb, it was just a light grey vynull...I have used the "Shadow Vynull" before, but with this job I prefered the Grey. Curtis...like a good Hockey, patience...I know the Cajun rebel in you wants to run the waters up here like a Florida Everglade, but they'll be out in the water soon enuf....
Posted by Jill Marie Welsh (Member # 1912) on :
...kinda reminds me of that old Led Zep song "Fool in the Rain" for some reason. I always love your work, you mad brushman. Even your vynull looks like brushwork. And Gary Godby is one hell of a font designer...and then some! Love....Jill
Posted by mike meyer (Member # 542) on :
haha I have been a fool in AND out of the rain Jill!
Mr. Godby is a very talented man!
