Wow, come in for a lunch break (yeah, at 3:50 p.m. lol) and get a good laugh to go with the ham sandwich!
Not 100% certain but I am thinkin that profile pic on a pen would generate a whole lot more BIZ than an intake? Makes me wanna powder coat everything...but my MinPins would prolly get pissed
I guess the pen people didn't delve that far into my website 66cuda.
CudaChic, got pics of the pens?
They sound really cool
Ummmmmmm, no. In fact, Poof the cat batted it off my desk right after I opened it yesterday and I haven't seen it since. Let me dig around in a minute.
Got any pics of the firebird and the pens??? That car is the sweetest pontiac ever!
Mike, I'm sure he'll hook you up but in the meantime I believe there are a couple pictures of Cal's Firebird on my website. You can see it on my home page if you scroll down to the link for "Customers' Rides."
Make sure you spell "pens" right when you are asking for pictures! LOL!
Errr AHhh....I did spell PENS correctly...my MINPINS are dogs, MINPIN is short for MINiature PINscher and they would be angry if powder coated......
Didn't know you were a grammarian... but at least its clear now
LOL @ both of you! 66, bama has that awful habit because of his work as a teacher. [I also have an English degree so am somewhat guilty of that myself once in awhile.] Aside from the fact I've never been asked for pictures of my pen*s (thank God!!!), I guess there's always the outside chance of a first so David's just looking out for my honor. :-D
And talking about the dogs brings up a rather interesting phone call awhile back that should probably be added to the True Stories From The Shop thread. I still laugh every time I think about it.
I'm at the blast cabinet and the phone rings.
"Good afternoon. Phoenix Specialty Coatings."
A very heavy Tennessee accent responds: "Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ... Do ya'll grooooom daaaawwwwwwwwwwwwgggggggssssss?"
His first and last words lasted three seconds each. I know it took me at least that long to think about what I was just asked.
Trying really hard not to laugh, I said "Excuse me? Did you say
groom dogs?"
"Yeahhhh."
"No, I'm sorry sir. This is a custom powder coating shop."

Okay, I found the pen (Poof helped).

They're pretty nice really as far as pens go. The paperwork says they're available in black or blue ink with a choice of print, font and photo.
I was wrong earlier in thinking it had the phone number and website, but it's just the logo, name and address.
www.pens.com has a teeny self-serving ad at the top but that's to be expected in an unsolicited free sample pen I suppose.
I was really thinking about getting some garage-style PSC promo posters made up (see earlier comment re the profile pic) .... but if you guys would really rather have a pen for your workbench then that's fine by me too. :-D
