This is the year of the Ford pickup. Striped another one yesterday and had a visit from the Chicago Brushmasters -- Bob Behonek and crew and South Carolinan, Ken Millar. That pretty much ended my afternoon as those folks were in a visiting mood and so was I. It got up into the 60's.
So anyhow all these Ford owners have been telling me the same story, how they were buying Fords, because Ford didn't take bailout money from the government. So there ya go ... don't take money from the government and sit back and watch your business grow (hahaha!!!)

Kathy, it'd be all 3 -- 60degrees, memory lane and a bunch of guys in their 60's. But ... BUT... since 60 is the new 40, your husband and I are now younger than you!
Oh well the fumes have taken their toll.

Yeah, Ken taught a few of them how to letter in whatever lettering school that was in Chicago and that's how they met. And they stayed friends throughout the years. very cool!
Finley still doesn't have any use for vinyl. He's strictly paint. He'd figured out how many miles of stripes he puts on in a year. So many feet per vehicle divided by 5280 and we're all going, HUH! I can't remember the figure, but it was more than you'd think.
Where were you, Chuck? Your name was brought up several times and it made me want to go fishing.
I'll tell you what, bein' around a bunch of guys like that and you've got to realize the stories are going to fly. That's the beauty of it all.
