I did some research to see if we could get as good a quality of stuff that we get from CP but cheaper. By the time we factored in the silk-screening, it was running about the same. Problem with the silk-screening is that we have so many colors in our design. THEN factor in keeping track of what everyone wanted ... one company had a pretty decent deal but we had to order a minimum of 12 of each kind (sweatshirt, hoodie, t-shirt), etc. That wasn't going to work. So, you have more colors and types of toppings to choose from. Maybe we'll have better luck with sweats ... there's not a lot of variety in them. Plus, Alvin has a great embroidery person down there. We could have it done later - like August, when it's real HOT.  Peg

Can do easy, Amigo. Hoodie or regular? You want it just on the back instead of on the front, or do you want the JYT logo on back and regular ODSS logo on the front? (or vice versa).
Just tell me what you want on front and on the back and I will put up a second sweatshirt.

I asked the Misses to get me a few.

You need to give them the email address of your friend. If anyone wants to do that ... why not start a PM so you all can *share* (it'll make it easier for everyone if you put the email address in the PM) ... once John orders his, we'll do that. We still need to order our calendar(s). Also ... boy this is a very aside aside, we have had two requests for additional ODSS jackets. Just like the ones we all have. I think we can get to *that* after next week. Armatek (I think that's the name) keeps sending us magazines with sales. So, we'll wait for the jacket to go on sale to place the order. The printing set up is all still good at the local place here. So, this is "in the wind" but when it starts to come together, we will let you all know.  Oh gosh, then we can work on that other thing you all were talking about --  Peg

I prefer the regular sweatshirts but could be talked into a hoodie. I will probably order in black and maybe navy too! Thanks John and Peg!

You can order from there once John makes the changes or adds the shirts with the logo on the back.

I think it was 90% cotton. When we were researching for similar product, we were going with the same warmth-factor. Hanes had a good deal during the holidays. When I went back for more detail, the 50% off sale was off. Boowahhh! So, on the large selection available, check the product info. The "90/10 cotton/polyester blend by Hanes" is great and holds up. You all KNOW how hard John is on his playclothes. Well, the ODSS JYT 2008 sweatshirt still lives. John's gone to pick up BIL from BWI. I think tomorrow, he'll be able to get the version two JYT apparel done. I'll be sure he clearly marks them so you know which is which without a lot of "shopping around" the ODSS section.  Peg

Answer: Indeed you need nothing at all. Two little known facts concerning the '66 Chevy 4x4 truck:
Sweet, pilot, Cosmo the co-pilot motored the '66 to an estimated 86 mph during Winchester '14 out on Interstate 81! A Virginia State Trooper saluted as we went by his radar trap. Chuck Norris recently called Hambone to tell him he wanted his '66 Chevy 4x4 back and Hambone said, "No". Has president Cosmo ever lied to you fellas?

As we know speedo is not accurate and reads 5-7 knots slow. The resonate frequency of the fenders occurs at a much lower speed and once above 57 the fenders no longer flap, they sail. BY the way, 14 degrees f today and Ol flappy fenders starts right up and once cockpit is heated, rolls right on out. | | | | Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 1,400 ODSS Lawman | ODSS Lawman Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 1,400 | We were made aware of the speedometer inaccuracy after the trip.

I thought the "bent" tree was good enough to throw the rope at the crook and just show the kids NOT to go banging into the trunk.
Cool story on what they are.
