How I spent my summer vacation

[Cardinal Bob]

Don't worry Mods, there's Cardinal content in here.

As some may have been aware, I've been blissfully unemployed since May 1st. The company I worked for was sold and the new owners let us all go around then...but they paid me a full salary through the end of July, so that was cool. 8)

Anyways, the first two months of my "Summer of George" were spent trying to find a new job, which I did by the end of June. But the kicker to that was I wasn't starting at that new job until August...August 17th (tomorrow) to be exact. So I had some free time to really enjoy the summer...until "The Minor Flood of '05" hit on July 8th ( )...ruining the carpeting in my basement sports room for the second time in 18 months.

So rather than trying to clean the existing carpet, or buying new carpet (I finally figured out that carpeting in a basement that appears to be somewhat flood prone is a bad idea), I decided to paint the floor instead. One month and $193.84 in materials later, this is what I came up with...I think it came out pretty great actually. Being an old-time fan and a bit of a traditionalist, I went with the old logo. Thought some of you all might get a kick out of seeing it!

Very cool!

Nice!

As I said, I'm kind of a traditionalist and am a bit partial to old logo, being an old-timer myself. Also, I've had 30 years of practice drawing the old logo so I've gotten pretty good at it.

The new logo would have presented a tougher challenge, and believe me, this project ended up being challenging enough.

My basement sports room runs east-west, unfortunately.

:I'maloserforevenknowingthat:

I'll talk with my wife and see if she's up for spinning the house a quarter turn...I'm sure the neighbors wont't mind that.

Very cool. Now you need some analysts to come to your place and film one of those "we have suits on but lets show how you run the counter trey on this mini field in studio" segments.

 

[red desert]

Very cool indeed.
