These are pictures of my first official job as a sign maker!. These were done for the Swamp Machine Shop in Townsend, DE. This gentleman and his wife have a very impressive shop set up. I did the door logos for his truck, mini chopper and the little red wagon, talk about a cool toy, I think I may want one of these someday. I made up a bunch of small logos so he can add them to all of his existing toys, equipment & etc.
When he was telling me about his small machine shop operation I just figured a small end mill, surfacing machine, you know the basics. I was totally blown away that this shop is set up better than most machine shops you will ever visit. It is definitely a class act.
My day was great! The end of a three day weekend and I was able to get ahead on some of the work I have coming in. I was also contacted by a friend of mine and his partner.
Dave & Phil asked me if I would be a partner in the new sign business they are starting up and I thought what the hell! The niche they are going after is different from what I am targeting on and I have a little more experience with the equipment, I have owned mine for just under a year now, and understand what we need to do to get the ball rolling. Besides the entire goal I have is not to have to go back to Detroit! This is just another avenue to make that goal a reality.
I bought my machine and the related graphics for doing custom painting, well if I can make money with it doing the sign thing I might as well take advantage of it.
Debs mom is still hanging in there. Her brothers are starting to act a bit strange though. They threatened to kick the youngest brother out of mom's house because, I guess, the police have been there on numerous occasions. Her older brother decided that Bob needs to go, my wife stepped up, with her red hair blazing, and let them all know that she calls the shots!
I was proud of her for finally asserting herself. She has been able to climb out of the major funk she was in and start to take control of the situation. It still takes a lot out of her and for that I get concerned. She did not get home from the hospital until after 11:00 PM last night and she has been crashed on the couch since I woke up at 8:00AM this morning, it is 8:00Pm at the time of this post.
I went to BJ's and picked up a bunch of junk food along with a bunch of those ready made meals so we at least won't starve to death as we pass each other during our days. She is trying to spend as much time with her mom as possible, mom is still on the ventilater and every time they try to wean her from it she goes into a breathing failure. Not a good thing at all.
Well I have got to get up early and hit my real job in the morning. God has blessed my in finding something I truly enjoy doing and has also expanded it so I can travel in another direction with a couple of friends. For this I am truly grateful.
God Bless Everyone,
Mike
