Good Morning Mississippi.
David We are going to hold you to that promise.
See you next week!

I've got hit with another set-back. PICC LINE has caused blood clots up & down right side of body. now scheduled for blood thinners, 2 shots a day, for 12 days + many more pills to help bust em' up. Maybe get sent home Sat-MON. I just want to sleep 4-5 hrs straight.

Howdy, sorry for the slow response, was on the road and off the grid.
That graphic has 2 fonts: the stencil style is Capture it 2.
The "Mississippi" font is called Bleeding Cowboys, however, I modified it a bit.
One subtle thing, the shape of MS is in the 2nd 'P". Didja see it? just wondering.
If you want to research and download very interesting fonts for Mac and PC,
go to dafont.com You can enter the words you want to display and it'll preview for you, pretty handy site.
Need any help with this stuff, let me know, its what I do... If I knew half
as much about wrenching Fords, I'd be an ace mechanic...

shorebird 10-06-2012 07:33 PM

Thank you for that answer to my question.
The touch in the 2nd P is nice.
I once held a job working for a silkscreen print shop and did some graphics work.

Here is my latest effort.

As everyone knows the Mississippi chapter is hosting a hospitality sit in Biloxi during the end weekend of Cruisin' The Coast.
The Ford dealer I tow for is providing a banner for us to display.
I gave the print shop some requirements for the banner and this is what they came up with;
<table style="width:auto;"><tbody><tr><td>https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-d...s800/proof.jpg</td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From Drop Box</td></tr></tbody></table>

I did some tweaking and now this is almost to production;

<table style="width:auto;"><tbody><tr><td>https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-f...800/banner.jpg</td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From Drop Box</td></tr></tbody></table>
I'm going to change the font used by the printer for the words MISSISSIPPI CHAPTER.
Maybe something like this;
MISSISSIPPI CHAPTER
What would you suggest haus?
( I just don't feel right calling you "bird" as that's what I've been called here for years. It feels like I'm talking to myself.)

I will have that change made when I go to the printer Monday.

I wanted to include the CTC logo on the banner but it is Copyright protected and only sponsors can use it.
As sponsorships start at $5,000.00 It is out of the question.

Looks good. Pull the trigger. I may see ya'll Tuesday.
Not bringing the truck though.

Steve GG 10-06-2012 11:44 PM

Nice banner Bryan..

Hope everything get better David..

shorebird 10-07-2012 08:37 AM

I spoke with David yesterday.
He was under the impression that he would be sleeping in his own bed last night.
I sure hope that he made it there.
He was hoping to be in Biloxi on the 13th.

Jigger2020 10-07-2012 09:00 AM

Good Sunday morning everyone, 32* here this AM........:)

Howdy Bryan & Dave & all

Scndsin 10-07-2012 05:41 PM

Afternoon folks. Managed to get released last night. I did get 4 hrs straight sleep till the weirdness dreams dropped me back into endless looping & forced me awake. My pain pill intake is halved, so that's a start.

Bryan is doing a bang up job on the banner. We had discussions on the fonts & CTC logo uses... never guessed that they'd want 5K for use, but not that surprising in the end. Jim (Birdhaus) I never saw the other half of your attachment, that's great....

Which reminds me, I'd like to encourage everyone to put their actual name some where in their sig so we can "speak" directly to each other. I try & list you guys in my printouts when I find them, but some there just never was any listing.

Tiring out a bit, will try & get back on sooner this eve.

birdhaus 10-07-2012 06:05 PM

Congratulations on getting home David!
Anyone going to be around CTC Monday or Tuesday, I'm bringing one of my teenage boys down. Need suggestions, I understand Monday features a parade around 5pm in Longbeach.. That seems like the best way to see a lot of steel, let 'em come to you?

Any local knowledge on how to pull this off?

Oh, and as David suggested...

the real name is Joe Bird,
Birdhaus is my business name: Welcome to Birdhaus Design

No, I don't design bird houses.. So Shorebird and I will have to work to keep down the confusion.

take care, and I'm still praying for you David.

Ok Joe I live a block and a half from the parade route.
The library is on the corner of 3rd and Jeff Davis.
One block West from Jeff Davis 3rd changes it's name to Oak St.
I live on Oak. Look for the flag pole next to my driveway on the south side of the road.

If the tow truck is there I'm home.
I'm planning on having the van in my signature parked in front of the library so that my family and friends can have a front row seat.
You are most welcome to join us.
