LOL! I think I'll stick with The FReepmobile. That Jeepney, er Freepney looks a little too airish!

[Budge]

Any ideas on this, Gonzo?

Flag Balloon

[Budge]

Abner and VOC have the flag ballon. Hopefully they will see the ping,...

Oh wow! That is a beautiful ballon! I hope they see the ping! Thanks!

Hey Budge! Sorry it has taken me so long to get to this thread but as you know, I am in Colorado and have had other things on my mind. :-) I still think a mural would be the way to go and I just know there has to be a FReeper or 2 out there who have the talent and would be willing to take the time to do it. Maybe not in Arkansas, but what better excuse for a road trip?

[T'wit]

Freepney's are not supposed to have windows, silly. Windows cost, y'know, money. So hang some burlap over the windows if you use your Freepney in those bitter Arkansas winters.

Budge, I have your address, and will send you a personal donation to be used for incidentals.

As far as signs go, I have found that if I mount my bumper stickers on magnetized sheets, that can be purchased very reasonably from either hobby shops or photo shops, the bumper stickers can be removed easily to go through car washes, etc, or just when you want to change the bumper stickers. Seems to me that this method would work for signs as well.

The three chapters in Texas: HAT chapter in Houston, HOT chapter in the Austin-San Antone area, and the North TX chapter are talking about organizing a joint chapter event at the Geo Bush Library at Texas A&M. We are just beginning to test the waters for this meeting, and don't have any of the details worked out, yet, but will keep you informed. Otherwise, if you want to drive to Austin, we will arrange to have a meeting for you and your group.

Good luck on implementing your excellent idea!

Ah, Columbus Day, Rush complains about it, but I get to listen to him today. I took a look at your post here and decided that I had the time to help out a little.

There ya go. Nice having a day off.

[Budge]

Re: Your # 28

That is exactly what I have in mind, mjf! Now, who can we get to paint it?

P.S. Listening to Rush on 24/7 meself =o)

I have no problem with a mural. And a road trip would be wonderful to get something done.

I 'm sure you know others who may have ideas. Bump 'em, please.

When you be back?

[Budge]

I figure a Freeney would cost more than a paint job on The FReepmobile!

Hi there Basil! Hey, you don't need to do that yet. Let's see what Bob J has to say about contributions. Unless you want to send several grand, of course! =o) I'm kidding!

Now there is something to keep in mind. I like it!

Excellent! That would be a great and fun trip! I'll ping some of the Hog Wild FReepers on this.

Otherwise, if you want to drive to Austin, we will arrange to have a meeting for you and your group.

That is something we need to talk about at our next meeting. What days do you normally hold your meetings?

Good luck on implementing your excellent idea!

Many thanks, Basil! Did you see what Sweetliberty said in post 25? Know anyone there who might be able to help? Also, mjf's spare tire cover is exactly what I had in mind for that!

I'll probably be back late Thursday night. I got Micheal back to the airport yesterday afternoon and I am staying with friends for the next few days and catching up on some visiting, although I will probably do as little as possible. I think the year is catching up with me. Little is exciting me as much as the prospect of uninterupted sleep.

Missed seeing y'all on Saturday. I was with you in spirit though. Has parsy gone missing again? I see his name wasn't on the attendees list for the meeting. I think the boy is working too hard.

[Budge]

Haven't seen or heard Parsy from for a few months. We missed you. I remembered to bring a Free Republic bumper sticker with me though. It'll be with me next meeting if you want it.

Have a safe trip home!

[sweetliberty]

Oh I absolutely want it! Wish I'd had it for this trip. Oh well. Thanks Budge.

[parsifal]

Yes I have gone missing. Nephew in law broke his neck incar wreck. Went down to Baton Rouge with mrs.parsifal Friday nite. Got back Sunday nite. No computer down there. I missed you guys and cried a while in motel room. Thank goodness a good Razorback game on TV. Have I missed anything? parsy the overworked.

[Travelgirl]

Re: Post #28. Great!!!! Wish I was that smart. Someday I'll figure out how to do stuff like that. Thanks, it is really neat and makes a hugh statement.

[Travelgirl]

Parsy called me; He had a very good (bad) reason for missing. We really missed our Sweetliberty and all other Freepers that could not attend Saturday.

[basil]

Sounds like a great idea to me!

When I put bumper stickers on my car, I first stick them to a magnetized sheet that can be picked up in any hobby or photography shop. Then I can remove them easily. I think this would work with the signs, also.

If your address hasn't changed, Budge, I'll send you a bit of a donation in the mail.

The three chapters of FR in TX are talking about having a joint meeting at the George Bush Library at TX A&M in the near future. Perhaps the Ark chapter can join us for this. We haven't finalized our plans, yet, but will let you know when (and if) we do.

Good luck with this great plan!

[Budge]

Sorry to hear about your nephew-in-law, parsey! Hope everything goes alright with him.

How about some input on The FReepmobile?
