Hey, fellas
Sorry I haven't chimed in sooner with all this t-shirt hubbub, but I've been super swamped. My former employer lost the subcontracted engagement I was on (good riddance), so I've made the jump to the company that won the new contract. Mo' money for me (hopefully that means a bigger repower budget 8) ), but it's been 50-60 hr. weeks all month to get the new brass ramped up. Anyway, the dust won't settle for another month at least. The plan last fall was to have a new design and shirt project going by now, but with all this going on, I haven't been able to. So that's the scoop of where I been.
Now, for doing new shirts, let's put everything out on the table. Boss BigShrimpin has to approve of everything. That's the granddaddy rule of all rules. I have zero ulterior motives to make money off of the site. Yes, I make a little scratch, but I'm not trying to further my side business. In fact, if I could afford to get rid of my printing equipment, I would, but I need the seasonal money it brings. The design work, the printing, the shipping, all that stuff doesn't get done to make a few bucks. I do it because the 20' hunk of flared fiberglass in my driveway is one of the best boats ever. A bunch of people happen to agree, and hey, why not have a shirt for the website that says so. That's it. Wait for me, don't wait for me, it's all good. My feelings won't be hurt if someone wants to run with it and get shirts from elsewhere, trust me.
I'll be peeking in now and then, but I have to go back to lowing low until the day job lets up. When I have more time, I'll pitch it to BigShrimpin and we'll see about doing some new stuff.
