IBoatNW Burgees

Well... Ted has stepped up to get a burgee together for us. Scott prvided the first design and Bob has done a great job of modifying and moving things around for different spins on the original.

To move forward on this though... we need to decide what basic direction we're going in. I still see two issues ahead:

1. Which design layout?
2. What color?


I'd like to start a poll here to see what basic design everyone likes, so take a look at these images and then cast your vote for our first burgee.

Cast your vote and let us know what you want...

[Randygh]

If we don't like the results of this vote can we demand a machine and hand recount? With the large number of votes cast, 8, we have to watch SS so another 2 or 3 votes won't mysterously show up as previously uncounted. :joker:

[3788sam]

When is the cut off for absentee ballots :D

I set it up to run through the New Year. We can end it at any time though... or run it longer. I'm sure Ted has some idea of when he wants to proceed with all this.

I am concerned about the color though, and since the design will not mirror, it'll have to be sewn not to show through on either side.

We can worry about the color after the dust settles. :)

NO recounts!

:twisted:

[Go Aweigh2452]

Hey, I have not received my ballot in the mail yet! Can I vote once as a republican and three times as a democrat? Or, do I have to wait for the recount. (sarcasm???) :oops:

[SPUD]

I'll accept bribes to change my vote........... :D

Spud

[3788sam]

Call Kerry up Spud I'm sure he has campain dollars left :lol:

Hey, I have not received my ballot in the mail yet! Can I vote once as a republican and three times as a democrat? Or, do I have to wait for the recount. (sarcasm???) :oops:

I'll be there to "determine your intent" Doug... :wink:

[Tedster]

No big hurry on the design, let it run it's course till we don't get any more votes. Then of course we will have a re-count or two and a few lawsuits filled, but I'm certain we will have them on our boats by the spring! Ted :D

[Go Aweigh2452]

I heard Ted has a few votes in the "Boat News" forum (he's the only one with access to mess with it...) watch him.... :santa:

[Escape Pod]

Hmmm....add Ted's cigars and a back room (his forum).... What does that tell you??? :D :shock: :lurk:

[Tedster]

Ok girl I'm listening what does it tell you?! Ted :D

[Escape Pod]

Well, let's see... could be wheelin' & dealin' politics, or dealin' & wheelin' politics. I always get them mixed up. :D

(Thinking of a way to drill a hole through the Admirals' Corner forum wall and seeing what Ted is up to in his Boat News forum). :tongue3:

Carol

[Tedster]

Carol you are so darn fun, I'm so glad that you didn't go away, sometimes it gets boring with the just the guys! Ted :D

He's usually in there all by himself... you may wanna reconsider peeking in there. :roll:

[Escape Pod]

Ah, the brave, the bold, the curious. :happy1:

[Go Aweigh2452]

not a pretty thought.... :pottytrain3:

[Escape Pod]

S'pose not. Actually, it was mainly the idea of sitting back with a small bucket of popcorn that was truly alluring. :D

[Tedster]

Ok I'm lost again, where are we heading with this one? Ted :?

[Escape Pod]

Who knows, I'm laughing too hard to care.....

[Numbknots]

If we don't start getting more votes for #3 then I am going to call the Demo's in to be the canvassing board!! :boxing:

Tim

[Escape Pod]

Tim - I was wavering between #3 and the one I voted for. If this goes to a re-poll, I may actually change my vote.

Darn, I do the same thing in restaurants. Order one thing and then change my mind before the food actually gets there. :sign6:

[Tedster]

Careful there, you are going to start sounding like a woman now, course nothing wrong with that is there?! Ted :D

[LeeWay]

I ussually don't go along with the crowd but 5 is my choice also. WAIT, is 5 a Democrat or Republican vote. Did number 5 leave Vietnam in discrace or start a needless war for oil? I demand an investigation into all choices and those who voted. If I am going to fly this burgee with pride I don't want it to be recalled on a technicality. :lol:

[Tedster]

No matter what our good ole Washington State will never be the same thanks to this election farce! Ted :D

[Escape Pod]

Oh, sure it will. Like so many other political debacles, it will simply fade with time. Something else will inevitably arise and take center stage for its day in the sun, and this will just become....more history. :|

... Darn, I do the [i]same thing in restaurants. Order one thing and then change my mind before the food actually gets there. :sign6:

I do that almost everytime after the food arrives... someone always orders something else I was thinking about and it looks better than what I got...

[Escape Pod]

I do that almost everytime after the food arrives... someone always orders something else I was thinking about and it looks better than what I got...

Exactly what I mean! But, that's one of the wonderful things about having a spouse (as long as they've selected well). :D

[coolchange]

A suggestion: Why not, after a suitable time, maybe another week, take the top 3 votes and have a run-off. That way we can, maybe, get more consensus, and allow vote changers to save some of their dignity.

If this is what happens could we put the "candidates" on the call for votes page rather than on the results page? Maybe even have the burgee be the button that is clicked ...... :clown:

How about we do it old fashioned way...


We vote... we buy our winning design burgees and mount them on our boats :)

This is what's got the Democrats in trouble... :oops:

all kidding aside... we can do it anyway everyone wants, but coding buttons is more work than it's worth considering the poll function is already built into the forum software :D

[Roel Jansen]

So short after your elections? Sorry, not decided yet?, And you will start using democrat tricks on this topic here already?
I really am glad to see this happening!As I always say wisdom comes with age, better late than never! :scratch: :scratch:

[coolchange]

SS: I assume this means you would not be behind forming and funding a sub-committee to do a longitudinal study and then making detailed recommendations of 2 to 5 viable alternatives along with their present and future value costs (based on average floating dollar value using the termanichi variable method...)

:occasion9:

Hey... my guy won the election that counts. :)

[3788sam]

Where do we stand on this now?

[SPUD]

I want my burgee :cry:
:cry:
Spud

[Tedster]

Looks like it went down in lack of interest 'eh Ken! Ted :(

[3788sam]

Yea,it was all hot and heavy before the Holidays - But I'm still in for two if it comes a live again :)

[Tedster]

Ya I suppose we need a run-off vote between #3 & #5 and get the ball rolling again! Ted :D

[Numbknots]

Ted,

Know need, it looks like a tie to me??? I want 3 of them so don't I get 3 votes? I am sure we can find some more votes in the Lake Stevens area for #3???

Tim

[Go Aweigh2452]

check the side of the ballot box, I think I saw, I mean I heard some MIGHT be there...

Unlike our most recent elections... I can actually see who voted and for what... so no funny business :)

[Tedster]

Ok boys, let me know when your all done playing games and I'll order the one ya all pick! Ted :D

As it stands... it's #5 thats the winner...

How about setting a deadline for votes .... maybe the rest of this week? There have only been like 13 votes cast as of now.

Sound like a plan?

[Tedster]

Well it works for me and since you can see every page I have ever been on and when, where, and how I voted, I need not go on 'eh!? Ted :lol:

[Go Aweigh2452]

what? and vote some more? Let's just order the damn thing and get this over with. I'd like to get one before next Christmas... Who do I pay? Can we do paypal to make it easier? :?:

[Tedster]

No paypal just send me a check, I'll hold onto them untill we get all that we are buying and then I'll order them, simple easy, and the way I'm doing it. Ted :D

[Go Aweigh2452]

OK, any special address for the check to be sent to? Any particular name on the check to be filled in or do we just put "cash" on the check??? Inquiring minds want to know... we're getting closer.....

[Roel Jansen]

Mike,

Sounds good to me. Maybe its wise to ask who will order one?

I think the voting was clear!

Unless the attemps of a certain Ted "Gregoire" Ster it's obvious which number has really won.! :D :D

I also agree with Doug boating season wil open here begin april 2005, I hope to fly my Burgee!

I order 1 no 5.

So if that's not manupilating! But...... :twisted:

[Tedster]

Well at first I was going to say make it out to Prestige Flags, since that is the company. However they won't want 15 different checks, so make it out to :Ted Newton--14429 88th Ct NE--Bothell--WA--98011. I'll hold onto all of them until I'm ready to order them. At that time I'll let everyone know that I'm banking the checks.
If you have a problem with this then send your money to someone that does trust me......got it! Ted :wink:

[Roel Jansen]

Ted,

Can I use Pay pal?

[Go Aweigh2452]

and the amount????

How much do you want to seed this thing Ted? I'll get a check to ya.

So... how about we just go with #5 the old fashioned way... no run-off, no recount?

Also... is that gonna be white? Or Silver? Or Gray? Or Blue or Yellow?

The reason I ask is with that design, the letters and compass points will be on reciprocals of each other and the stitching and layout may show through badly on a lighter colored flag. Just a thought.

Roel could paypal Ted (or one of us if he'd prefer). A paper check from The Netherlands might be odd at your local Washington Mutual and Paypal would be quicker. If you don't want Paypals Ted, I can cut you a check for his as well.

[SPUD]

Why don't we all Paypal SS and he cuts one check to Ted. It takes only
a minute to paypal and SS can post the payments recieved.

Spud

I'd rather Ted take care of this actually. He has a paypal as well, but for Roel's I'd be willing to add his amount to my check. Just for the convenience of it.

Us unemployed old pensioner guys don't get to play with momma's checking account often :)

Let's have Ted ramrod this. He did a great job with our last burgees (BOC) and is simpler that way.

[Tedster]

Ok the price is $35.00 for all Washington orders, out of state add $5.00 for handling, out of country add $10.00 for handling. Send to checks to my address above and the background color is a nice looking silver. Does that work boys and gals?

Ted :D

[Stompor]

f you have a problem with this then send your money to someone that does trust me......got it! Ted


:lol:

Who would trust Ted? He is a boat salesman.

Just wait till you see him work at the boat show on the 285
:blah5: :blah5: :blah5:

[Tedster]

Well ask the over two hundred owners in two years if they still trust me, you still do, don't you Scott?! HeHe! Ted :lol:

[Go Aweigh2452]

Ted, I believe that was tongue in cheek. Yeah, we trust you... 8)

Ted :D

Sounds great Ted. I'll get you a check. You can start a new thread (if you want) so you'll be able to edit it as you like and add names of those have paid you etc.?

Also... If you will take a Paypal from Roel, that might be easier for him, or if you don't I can get one from him and send you a check from me.

Are they gonna make sure the NW part of "IBNW" goes on the Northwest part of the compass... on both sides? I'm sure these guys will do a great job, but knowing that NW stands for Northwest (and hence the 10 o'clock position) :)

Thanks again Ted.

[Stompor]

SS if you will pay the shipping cost I will pay for Roel's burgie.
Ted put me down for 2 (1 for me and one for Roel) and I will get a check to you at the boatshow.

Merry Christmas Roel :)

Sounds great Scott. I'll add the shipping cost to my burgee order.


Hey Ted. Can I give you a check at the show, or you want me to mail ya one? (15th?)

[Go Aweigh2452]

guess we can claim international colors now too!

[Randygh]

Thanks Ted for your work. I'll send you a check tomorrow. What is your returned check fee just in case it bounces? :joker:

[Tedster]

I will give my Rep. very detailed instructions and ask him for a mock-up jpeg before I order them. Ted :D

Money at the B-Show is great for me guys, no hurry!

I'll start a new post once the checks start rolling in.

[Roel Jansen]

Scott sounds great to me I can pay you with Paypal the same way I did with the BOC calender?

Scott and Mike thanks for the offered helping!

With IBNW you never walk alone! :)

[Stompor]

NP Roel,
Please consider it a gift from a crazy American. 8)

I am sure that sometime in the future I will want something from your side of the world and someone will help me out.

And if not that is cool also. I'm just working on my parking karma
:')

[Roel Jansen]

Scott and Mike,

This is for the first time in a very long period I simply don't know what to say other than thank you guys! But be assured when ever I can help on what subject that come around I will be there for you and all the others here on this bright warming site! I will fly that Burgee with Pride!

[Roel Jansen]

To day we have from 6 oclock am until 12 oclock pm a National prgram on Radio and TV. The goal is to raise as much money as possible for the victims in East Asia and I will raise the contribution we have already done with a seperate one with the money the Burgee would have cost me, on behalve of IBNW.


At the moment there is € 55 million donated and I wsill inform you what it will be at the end of the day.


Bless you all!

[Numbknots]

Thanks Ted!

I conceed, the re-vote is to costly! I put a check in the mail today for (2)
See ya at the Boat show on the 15th

Tim

[Tedster]

Well I guess this is one way to make you guys come by and say hi! Ted :D

[Roel Jansen]

First,

This evening we ended at a donation of € 112 million by the public sector (you and me) alone for the victims of the Tsunami!
And it ain't to be over yet! Now the Government has to decide what in final they will donate. They said something about 67 million but all the celebraties challenged them to dubble the final outcome of the public sector.

Second,
Can some thing be done at the color of the chevrons Tedster has?
At my age I need glasses to see4 correct at short distance and they hurt my eyes! :D
""
But although I never met the Guy I think he is what we call : "een ruwe bolster een blanke pit!" (roughly translated": if some thing is rough at the outside it is beautiful or pure at the inside)!

What is happening all over the world this last days confirms in what I strongly believe in: Never loose your faith in men kind!

No, I don 't forget our troops, that are in Iraq, Afghanistan and in the Balkan risking their lives every day for a better society!

[Go Aweigh2452]

Well, Concerning your eyesight Roel, I believe SS could make everyone an Airdale (green stripes verses red)... Kinda surprised he did not knowing his background...

Roel, In American... Ted is what one would call gregarious (a diamond in the rough)... though I do like the "pit" part of your verse. :lol:

Well, Concerning your eyesight Roel, I believe SS could make everyone an Airdale (Blue stripes verses red)... Kinda surprised he did not knowing his background...

Doug... you've been out too long... :?

You won't see a green chevron. The green, red or white stripe (airdale, seaman, fireman) colors don't go past E3.

Now... if a person stayed out of trouble's way... he could switch over to gold stripes after 3 good conduct awards (unlike myself). :shock:

[Go Aweigh2452]

:oops:

I'll make sure and save ya a green oak leaf though... :wink:

[Go Aweigh2452]

salty green or envy green?

salty green or envy green?

Nope... just plain old corroded brass green :D

Ya know... they say memory is the 2nd thing to go... :D

[Go Aweigh2452]

:downtown: and all along I thought #2 was on the thrown!

:downtown: and all along I thought #2 was on the thrown!

I was wondering how long it would take someone to figure out a reason to use that emoticon :D

[sunnydude2]

and i thought it stood for reading! :)

[Go Aweigh2452]

braille :lol:

[heymagic]

Just don't give ol' Tedster rainbow stripes....he hates rainbow stripes :D

[Tedster]

It's not the rainbow stripes I don't like, it's more the lil' fairies that wave them that I don't like to be around. Ted :D

[heymagic]

I crack up every time I think about Poulsbo...you were working on gittin us killed. :lol:

[Numbknots]

Ted, you toss them to me and I will treat them like a pinata, I have an extra bat if you want to borrow one?

How are the checks coming in?

Tim

[Tedster]

Well as of this date I have two: mine, and Randygh's! Ted :D

[Numbknots]

Ted,

I sent Chk for (2) by Bill pay, cleared my bank on the 6th so it should be there on Monday. Thanks for carrying the ball!

Tim

PS: Olympic's site is an improvement

[3788sam]

Ted,
Would it be OK to drop a check off at the Boat show, I know you will be busy and I don't want it to be a problem for you!

[Tedster]

Ken, I'm hoping everyone in the NW does that so that I can meet everyone, esp. since I can't be there for the tailgate party. Ted :D

[3788sam]

Wilco- See you there Ted, your on the 285?

[Tedster]

You got it, the 285 indeed! Ted :D

[Go Aweigh2452]

Ted, I mailed mine out before I headed to New Orleans. You should have received it by now too.

[Tedster]

Well guys, it looks like this whole thing has become a flop. In the last three days at the boat show I have and talked to many :), seen and were ignored by a few :cry:, and so far today I have checks for only two, besides mine! Oh well I tried to help out! Ted :shock:

[Numbknots]

Ted,

I show you got my $70 check??

Tim

[Tedster]

Yes sir, and will send it back if this continues to be a flop, it is still on my desk and not cashed, along with Randy Hein's.

Ted :|

[Numbknots]

Ted,

I hope it doesn't flop? It looked like there was plenty of folks to place an order, Why don't you set a deadline of about another 10 days?

Thanks for your effort!

Tim

Come on guys---belly up to the bar!!

I forgot to get you a check while I was there Ted. That's probably the case with everyone else as well. I should've mentioned something to everyone at the tailgater.

[3788sam]

Ted hang in there sorry we missed you! We stopped by asked for you (no one was on the 285), went and looked at the new 341 came back still no one there - I'm sure that you where probably closing a deal! :lol:
I will send the check to you!

[Tedster]

Ok lets see a show of hands of those that still want a burgee, even those that have sent me a check. I stil;l want to see your hands in the air! Ted :D

[Go Aweigh2452]

I still want one. Dd you recieve my check yet? It was sent over a week ago?

Ok lets see a show of hands of those that still want a burgee, even those that have sent me a check. I stil;l want to see your hands in the air! Ted :D

I still want one as well Ted;

I'll get you a check for mine and Roel's shipping charge. I just forgot to get a check out of the wife the other day at the show. I was actually pretty good... spent not a SINGLE dollar at the show. :) Pam even covered my pretzel and soda :)

[dumluck53]

me want one too. will see you at the show thursday or friday.

[SPUD]

Ted,

I'm in for ONE !

Thanks,

Spud

[sunnydude2]

One for me too!

[3788sam]

I'm in for one

[Tedster]

So that is nine so far! Keep 'um coming! Ted :D

[Stompor]

OK Grumpy man,
I will send you a check today for 2,
1 for me and 1 for Roel
Scott

[Dave C]

Put me down for one. :) The check is in the mail. Really it is.

[Randygh]

Ted--I'm still in for one. My check should still be good (at least the bank hasn't closed that account)!!! :joker:

[Tedster]

Sounds like 12 so far, we'll see if the checks actually make it here! Ted :D

They'll get there Ted... we just went from "let's vote" to "where's your check" awfully fast is all...

[SPUD]

Ted,

I'll hand you the $$$$ at the show today. You can find me in the beer garden.


OH.......THERE IS NO BEER GARDEN ! :D :D :D



Spud

[Numbknots]

Ted,

Not to worry, Spud will be there in that roped off place where he thinks ought to be a beer Garden!

Spud,

I think I saw a new 275hp OB??? Have fun!

Tim

[Tedster]

Just in case there is any doubt I'm on the Bayliner 285......still! Ted :lol:

[dumluck53]

I gave my money to Ted today. Get yur money in fellas, let's get some burgees!

[Tedster]

Got cash from Tony G and a check from Dave Cook, so far 7 paid in full. Ted :D

That was David Cook wasn't it?


:D

[Go Aweigh2452]

No prob... as long as David uses my address for the burgee, I don't care...

[SPUD]

Ted,

I forgot to give you the $$$$ during our 15 minute talk yesterday.
I'll try to get down there again !

Where on Lake Union are you ?? :D :D :D :D :D

Spud

[Tedster]

Spud I'm not there until 4ish today, my day to cover the store. I'll be on the only Bayliner small boat 285 that is once was on the water I guess. Ted :lol:

[Never Again II]

Spud I'm not there until 4ish today, my day to cover the store. I'll be on the only Bayliner small boat 285 that is once was on the water I guess. Ted :lol:

:|
Ted,
I sent you a private e-mail on this because I am confussed......

[Tedster]

No confusion, it was an inside joke. I'm inside on the Bayliner 285 where I have been the whole time. Ted :D

[Tedster]

Well guys we are up to 11 burgees paid in full, so we will be placing an order soon. Those that are still lagging behind with your checks not here yet........"get 'er done"! Ted :D

[Numbknots]

What is the cut off date? I would think that it would put an urgency to the cause if you (TED) would post one?

Thanks

Come on guys, the ones without Burgee will be sorry and most likely will have to row SS out to his new boat? (did spud get his double layered to withstand the speed of that rocket?)

Tim

[sunnydude2]

Ted...check in mail this afternoon!

[Tedster]

Great that gets the count up to 12, still no monies from Spud and SS yet, anyone else that told me they wanted one, that I don't have your money yet? Ted :D

[3788sam]

Did mine get there?

[Tedster]

Yes along with an insurance quote! Ted :lol:

[3788sam]

Might as well get something for the pice of poastage :roll: Again sorry we missed you at the show!

[Dave C]

That was David Cook wasn't it?


:D
Yes it was. But my friends call me Dave.
You are my friends aren't you? :|

[SPUD]

Ted,

Snail mailed it today. You should get it tomorrow !

Thanks again,

Spud

[Tedster]

Way cool Spud, that gets us up to 13, we are getting close now to the min. of 15, keep 'um coming! Ted :D

[Go Aweigh2452]

Ted, how about updating the first post on this subject with all the names of confirmed checks/payment in hand? Might minimize the questions if all they need do is check your updated posts?

[Tedster]

Nah, I'd rather keep it a mystery, besides those that found me at the show know that I have their monies and those that have mailed me know that too. Ted :D

[Tedster]

Ok boys, I'm headed to Spokane for the boatshow there, I'll be there for ten days, when I get back on Feb 7th I plan to order the burgees. That being said if you plan to own one of these outstanding one of a kind limited production burgees you best get me your monies by then! Ted :D

[Numbknots]

Ted,

Have a good show in Spokane, and hurry back before the webbing on your feet dries and cracks!

Tim

[Go Aweigh2452]

Sooo, did you get my check yet?

[Stompor]

Sent my check today for 2 Ted.
1 for me and 1 for Roel
Scott

I'll get mine in the mail tomorrow morning. The extra will be for Roel's shipping. Been pretty busy these last few days.

[Roel Jansen]

Scott and Mike,

Me too has been busy I am in the process of putting all my "old" Hi8 video tapes on DVD and on a data DVD.

But I will keep an eye on the postman to hear him ring twice! :D

I've been trying to get the same thing done here for over the last year Roel. I have hundred of irreplaceable Hi-8 tapes that I need to get converted and onto optical media.

I'm currently using my Sony Digital-8 which reads Hi-8 and keeps the video digital and will feed it to a PC directly to the DVD burner. It's still a pretty large task. What kind of setup are you using to convert everything over? I used ATI All-in-Wonder card for a short while, but it was pretty time consuming.

[Roel Jansen]

Mike,

I use my sony CCD V900E Hi8 connected to a ADVC 55 converter made by Canopus. The Canopus is linked to my fire wire of the PC IBM Nestvista with two internal and one external HD.
And I import the movie in Pinnacle Studio 9. I use Studio 9 to simple edit bad parts and make an AVI movie and store it on the hard disk. Then I use TMPGEnc 2.5 trial to make a MPEG 2 film. To burn the movie on a DVD I use TMPGEnc DVD author. Recommended is to put the film on DV tape if you camerea has DV in and out.
What I get is really brillant copies with not to be seen quality loss from the original.
But it will be clear that this is taking some time (understatement) but on every DVD board this is siad to be the best method if you want quality.
The Avi movies I also burn as data on a DVD.

That sounds very similar to my efforts. I went ahead and bought a Sony TRV-460 Digital8. The very cool thing about the Digital8 units is they are digital units that use analog tapes. When you record, it puts the data down digitally and functions as a pure digital, when it's reading a tape and finds a previously recorded Hi8, it falls back to analog mode.

Since its a digital cam, the really cool part happens when you take the data off the cameras firewire port. It never goes analog, so it needs no conversion. It'll go straight to DVD, or straight into Adobe Premiere. It's only a $299 camera, but serves VERY well for getting data off old tapes and back onto more modern media.

Also... all of my old Hi8 tapes will be useable as Digital 8 tapes. The only downside is recording in digital consumes about twice as much tape footage. :)

It also records in 16:9 widescreen format which is a fun aspect of it since I got a new HDTV widescreen recently.

It's amazing how many tapes you can accumulate huh? Now... if I could get this finished, I have several thousand 35mm slides to scan in (ONE AT A TIME!) from my childhood.

[Tedster]

I'm back from SPO!!!! In an attempt to steal this thread back to it's origin, we now have a total of 16 burgee's paid for. Is there anyone else out there that still wants one before I place the order????????????????????Ted :D

We'd about given up on ya.... Soooo... are you fat and rich from all the commissions? :)

Gimme a call when you get a chance this week sometime Ted. I have my boat all cleaned and ready to go. Needs a wash and quick wax, but other than that, I'm probably a week or so away from listing her somewhere. Need to talk turkey with ya.

On the burgees... can you post who you have so we can be sure you've got everyones check, and I think maybe Bob will want one and maybe a few stragglers.

So whatcha gonna spend all that commision money on? Time for a Meridian for Ted?

[Tedster]

Some day I'll have to show you the long drawn out process of how us sales guys finally get paid, but for now I'll tell you it don't happen overnight, and it ain't as big as what you might think it is.
Yes I can list the names when I find the time, but at this point, if you gave it to me or sent it to me I have it. The rest of you at least let me know if you want one.....ok?!

ps, SS ya call me when you want to talk consignment issues.

Ted: thanks for taking on the headache. :P

[Tedster]

Hey buddy no biggie glad to do my part, I knew I would have straglers. Ted :D

Yeah... Thanks again Ted.


You've got just the right amount of "Hurry up already..." to get this done. It's good everyone will get a chance to get one.

Hey... did they explain how they could get the "IBNW" and compass pointing the right way with no stiches showing?

[Go Aweigh2452]

Most companies will double up the material so it does not show... Like our older BOC pennants. The Admiral did a nice guidon for my school a few years ago and that is what she did... doubled up the material... :wink:

[Tedster]

Don't worry SS they know what they are doing, and so do I at times! Ted :D

Don't worry Ted. I know you know what you're doing... just curious if they know that "do-hicky" is a compass rose. If it's point up and to the right, we're gonna have to do some recruiting in Maine for IBoat NorthEast..

:D

NW airlines new paint jobs have it wrong on the starboard side of their planes as well!

[Tedster]

:notworthy: you'er killing me! Ted :roll:

NW airlines new paint jobs have it wrong on the starboard side of their planes as well!

What?

http://www.plane-spotter.com/Jpegs/AMS-2003/LA_Northwest_DC-10.jpg

[3788sam]

This is their old Tail paint. If you notice the arrowhead on the out side of circle is pointed to 11:00 (NW) on the new paint jobs it is pointer to 1:00 (NE)
I even wrote a letter to NWA this december no response!

Let me see if I can find a new Picture!

Here it is:

The folks that are doing our burgee have also suggested this solution:

http://terrastudio.com/speakup/nwa_logo.gif

That makes it simpler...

[3788sam]

My Dad is a million mile flyer on NWA and he never noticed!

[3788sam]

I think ted get a little upset with us not sticking on topic

He's sitting at the computer with his head in his hands as we speak... :D

[Tedster]

Actually I'm ignoring all of you except the ones that are still planning on sending me your monies! Ted :lol:

[LeeWay]

Ted
That guy at the boat show with cash was I. Tom and Nancy Lee
P.S. 2651still for sale

[Tedster]

Oh ya now I remember, sorry I'll correct my list!

Ted :D

[Webjammin]

[coolchange]

mine was actually in an envelope when I first said it was in the mail.///but now, and I swear on a stack of Chapmans that it is truly in the mail....unless it is already on your desk.... :P

[Go Aweigh2452]

Hey, if Coolchange swears on a stack of Chapmans... THAT's saying lots! NO ONE would invoke that unless it was true! :headbang:

[Tedster]

Might be true, but I don't have either one of you too late boys checks yet! Ted :shock:

[coolchange]

:smilebox: Have you got it yet?

[Tedster]

Yes buddy I did, also got Bob's check!


SO NOW IS LAST CALL FOR IBNW BURGEES!

Ted :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

So what's the grand total now?

[Tedster]

17 Ted :D

[Tedster]

Ok boys and gals of all ages, today I put the wheels in motion of the ordering process for the IBNW burgees. Now once I approve the artwork in a day or two I will NOT be able to add to the quantity of 18. Soooooooooooo if you still want one, or one more, please speak now or forever miss the boat.
Re-orders have a minimum of six so now is the time to speak up if you don't have one or want one. We have over 79 members and only 18 that want them??!!.

Have I made this perfectly clear???????????????????????

LAST CHANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ted :D :) :( :o :shock: :? 8) :lol: :x :P :oops: :cry: :wink: :roll: :|

[3788sam]

If no one has thanked you for you work on this Ted - Thanks :salute:

[Tedster]

http://email.secureserver.net/attachment.php?rand=34433&folder=INBOX&uid=868&part=2&aEmlPart=0&tnef_part=-1


If this opens ok can we please all ok it before I place the order.

Ted :D

[coolchange]

Just took a look at the link and got a msg. that some sort of email session had expired....not much to Ok but I trust you anyway..... :wink:

[Numbknots]

Ted,

You got my Proxy (ok) I am going boating! No time to sit in front of a computer :D

Tim

[Go Aweigh2452]

Ya got mine too. I could not get past the email log in screen...

[Tedster]

C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\7N0FK34L\IBoatNW,WA[1].jpg

You can't point to a link on your local hard drive Ted. You'll need to upload the picture into the gallery for us all to see it.


1. Goto: Burgee GALLERY (http://www.iboatnw.com/gallery/categories.php?cat_id=42)

2. Login. (this is not necessarily the same username / pass you have here)

3. Click the http://www.iboatnw.com/gallery/templates/default/images/upload.gif button. (upper right side)

4. Browse to the file on your local hard drive, and select it. Then type in a image name (and description if you'd like) and then SUBMIT.

Lemme know if you have any problems.

[Tedster]

Tried it, didn't work, help! Ted :(

[Webjammin]

Ted

Send me the picture that your trying to upload.


Bob

Come on Ted... you can do it!

8)

[Tedster]

SS I can just about do anything on a boat, I can just about not do anything on a computer! Ted :(

I got your email Ted, but it only contained a link to the picture. The easiest bet is to get it uploaded to the gallery. Gimme a call and I can walk you through it. You're probably 99.9% ready and just are selecting the wrong file or missing a key somewhere.

Lemme know.

OK...

Got it Ted... See... I knew you could do it :D

Here's the image... (and one in Yellow) You guys sure on Silver?

http://www.iboatnw.com/gallery/data/media/42/IBoatNW-WA.jpg


http://www.iboatnw.com/gallery/data/media/42/IBoatNW-WA_Yellow.jpg

Just another thought.... (it's not like I've been lookin at haze gray all my life or anything) :D

[coolchange]

Yellow sure stands out!

How about a re-vote :twisted: :twisted:

[Tedster]

But it doesn't go with my boat colors! Ted :roll:

What? You got Avocado and Harvest Gold shag carpets in Jaruba there?

[Tedster]

I guess that proves how long it has been since you saw my boat......not! Ted :lol:

[3788sam]

We are going to replace the carpets on our boat - maybe I should get some sample
Avocado and Harvest Gold shag carpets - Wait put down the the disco ball and balck light - I think wood wouild be better!

[Go Aweigh2452]

I don't care if its yellow OR silver... just order the damn thing and be done with it... :wink:

[Tedster]

Gee Dougie, who here would bark louder than you if they didn't look the way you or all the rest expected them to look. Hmmmmmm? Ted :shock:

[Tedster]

Hey Etienne, hey Gene, I don't have money from you for a burgee, do you want one? Ted :D

[Numbknots]

I don't care which one, just order them and what shows up will be a surprise! :P

Tim

Sounds like it's time to bang that gavel Ted.... Going once... ... ...

[Tedster]

Still waiting to hear from Gene at least before I bang the gavel down! Ted :D

OK Gene... STEP UP!


:D

[Tedster]

GENE, GENE, Gene, this is your last, and I do mean last call for a IBNW burgee, I need to know today so that I can give them the final quantity.

If there is anyone else out there lurking or looking to want one of these fine burgees please, please speak now or forever be left out!!!!!

Ted :D :lol:

[3788sam]

Ted what do you think turn around time will be after you give the final #s?

[Tedster]

I already submitted the order and approved the artwork last week, so I would say a couple wekks or so. I do however need to get him the final quantity this week. Ted :D

[3788sam]

Thanks for the update!

[Randygh]

THANK YOU Ted for your time and effort. I'm looking forward to proudly displaying a new burgee.

[coolchange]

Gene is probably worried about the cost of having to get a burgee for every boat he will have this year and that the bill could be too high. :twisted:

[Tedster]

That might be.................lets all tell him that he could actually take it off the boat when he sells it and put it back on the new one. That being said, Gene what are you waiting for?! Ted :shock:

[heymagic]

Sorry been too busy with work , boats, race cars and my freakin early spring allergy attack !! I'll leave a note for the admiral. Can't ya just see ol' Ted selling potato peelers at the county fair... :wink:

Hey now... Ted doesn't like to talk much about his days back on the County Fair circuit... he was livin' fast and lose back then... 8)

[Tedster]

Yup and I had me a new one every nite back in dem dare days, yehaaaaa good times I tell ya! Ted :D

[Tedster]

Soooo with Gene now onboard that gives us a total count of 19,.........do I hear 20? I'm very soon, when I get the time, going to cash all of the checks that all of you sent me long ago. So here is your warning to make sure you have the funds in the bank to clear it. Thanks guys! Ted :D

[Tedster]

Good news guys and gals! The burgees are ordered and shipping out to me this week! However in my haste I forgot to photocopy all of your addresses on your checks :shock: , sooooooo I need all 18 of you to email me your shipping address please. :D

[sunnydude2]

Ted...are at bellevue or lake union?

[Tedster]

Currently I'm at the Bellevue location, that could change soon, but for now I at Bellevue. Now when the Tacoma Boat Show starts I'll be there instead. Good grief! Ted :D


ps. oh boy now I have a red X in a white square next to my name, yehaaaa! Ted :roll:

Is that big red X at the Bellevue store?


8)

[Tedster]

No it is right next to my name above you silly! Ted :roll:

ps. Doug has the same red X next to his name.

[Randygh]

Why the red X next to the CPO title?

[sunnydude2]

Hey Ted...I won't be anywhere near Bellevue so could you just put mine in the mail?

Thanks.

Sean

[Tedster]

Yup! Ted :D

[Go Aweigh2452]

when is the boat show in Tacoma? I may be able to meet there for my burgee depending on the dates...

PS: Chiefs don't need no stinkin badges...

[Stompor]

Hey Ted,
Can you get me free tickets for the Tacoma ski and fishing boat Show?
TIA
Scott

[Tedster]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I know what you mean Scott. Nope all I have is 2.00 off tickets. Ted :D

[Tedster]

Well guys I have most of your addresses off this site and many from your e-mails to me, however I still do not have the following addresses:

Tony Gibbons, Nelson Goodsell, and if I get your check my ole buddy Gene.

Thanks, :D Ted

Ps. the rest of you will be getting them by mail soon unless you let me know that you are stopping by my store in Bellevue.

[dumluck53]

Hi Ted,

I'll be dropping my boat off at Lk Union this coming Tuesday for warranty work. Would it be easier for you to drop the burgee off there or, if not, here is my address: 15408 Union Ave SW, Lakewood, WA 98498.

Thanks Ted! Great Job!

Tony

[Tedster]

I'll just mail it! Ted :D

[Tedster]

Status update! I have all the monies, the addresses, the burgees, and the mail pouches ready for all 18 burgees sold with the exception of good 'ole Gene'o, who has told me over and over that the check is in the mail. But don't worry I won't wait for him to mail all of yours, they will go in the mail on Monday. Ted :D :D :D

[Go Aweigh2452]

thanks Ted :headbang:

[dumluck53]

U DA MAN!

MUCHOS GRACIAS!

You're gonna love the way that new burgee looks on your new Meridian 381! Ted :D

[Go Aweigh2452]

was something lost in the translation??? funny but I think I can read spanish now... thanks Tony...

It's a miracle.. before all I could say is "Where's the bathroom?", "How much for those" and "One more beer please..." :)

[Tedster]

Ya can you imagine that.............buy a burgee and learn Spanish! This site is just too good! Ted :D

[Randygh]

Thanks Ted!!!

I never took Spanish in school, but two years of Latin has helped with understanding written Spanish. When I worked as an enforcement officer for the WDFW I was taught the phrase, "alto, manus arriva" (stop, hands up). Never had to use it.

[Tedster]

I am happy to report that all 19 burgees have been paid for and all 19 burgees are in the mail or already in the hands of them that bought them.

I want to thank all of you for trusting me with this adventure, and I hope you like them when you see them.

Ted :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Thanks to you Ted;

I knew you'd be the one to pull this off and get it done right. Did they say what additional burgees would cost if we wanted more not that they have the lay-up costs covered?

Thanks again!!!

[3788sam]

Ted add me to the thank you list as well!

Got it in the mail today Thanks for hard work Ted :D

[Go Aweigh2452]

Got my Burgee last night. Thanks... it looks great... glad I got the yellow background.. :laughing3:




















only kidding folks... its really silver... :jerk:
