Ready for a new year

[biddler2]

I'm glad that the Cherokee is working out for you, I'd had 8'6 in there before but it's nice to see 9's will work. That boat always did well for me and is set-up nicely even better with the upgrades you made. I-pilot should make that boat even better when there's some wind. Where are you getting your I-pilot from? Thornes had them for $360 out the door at the Indy show. That's where I got mine. Hopefully I can give a report here soon.

Wow, Mike, never have seen that much man love before....so what you're saying is, I complete you. .....okay, Never have I thought we needed to stick to fish talk more than now...aaawkward. Let's talk about figure eights or something. And Routt, I'm sure, wishes he had better representation right about now. But seriously, I am an awesome fisherman and the chicks do dig me...you had that part right.

Mack, do jpeg's work all right for fish decals? That's the format I have them in...and if I can just call some sign places like signcraft, that'll work?

Definitely let me know if you try the ipilot out. I don't have one yet, but will be buying one shortly. My only concern is that I've heard that in a couple years there will be a new version that connects with the fishfinder and that it will follow waypoints that you program in. But still, that's two years from now, I need to have the latest and greatest to maintain my awesomeness in fishing skills...

This is all bullcrap of course, I sure wasn't awesome last year, my year really did blow last year...I pulled it out more in the fall and eeeked out a decent ending, but still could have done a lot better, if the fish would have let me. But I'm happy that I didn't sink the new boat and that Halfpint and I are getting better at not killing each other any more. I didn't even yell at him when he jacknifed my trailer backing up and bent the winch handle on my truck bed. I would have, but it was his birthday....I would have.

Uhm..... how'd I get brought into the man love scenario?

Toad...jpgs won't get you to the final product. Depending on that .jpg's resolution it can be a starting point, meaning it's an electronic file. Hopefully it's a high-res .jpg. But we need to get it converted into vector art to get them into a simple .eps file format then to the vendors .gxp file format. I know...whoa...here comes the electronic graphic designer geek talk. Stand back!

I'm "assuming" these are scanned .jpgs of artwork that you drew by hand?

I can help. Or if you want...just call up a sign-shop to request stickers, see what they think of your files. They may want to start over on the scan to get a better resolution and then to do the different file format steps. Might charge ya though? :shrug:

Either/or...let me know.

Hhahahhaa! Man I miss your guys' stories and trials and tribulations on the water. Always a good laugh!

Mike did it John, I had nothing to do with it, must have come about because of your reputation I guess.

How was the Ohio Show? Did you sell a lot of lures? Did you hire a young hottie to help out? I would have.

[J Routt]

I did well, it was a pretty good show.

I didn't have to hire the hottie. Muskie Innovations did across the aisle from me. Everybody kept stopping in my booth to check her out.

Well that works out even better. You guys were on islands?
