ballaratdragons (Ken) · #1 24-05-2005, 10:35 AM

Recieved a phone call this morning.

I finally got the Job I applied for YAAYYYYY!!

As of Thursday morning I will be signwriting Semi-Trailers!
Next time you see one of those Semi's with the huge signs and Artwork all the way along the sides of the trailer you will know what I will be doing.

None of it is brush painted anymore. They are masked up and custom spraypainted on. I will try find a photo of one done where I will be working.

Yippeeee!!!!

I can feel some new Astro goodies coming soon!

Congratulations Ken, that is wonderful news!

What scope are the boys getting?

Congrats Ken, well done.

Bet that's a real relief. I think everyone on the forum should get a donation for all the support and encouragement we've given you.

Well done ken.....all the best for your new job.....

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #10 24-05-2005, 07:16 PM

John, bit pricey for a while yet.

LOL, my donation to everyone Paul is holding the Star Camp in October.

David . . . No!

Silvie, for the boys I am tossing up between the GS 8" dob, Skywatcher 5" f5 Reflector on EQ, or Skywatcher 5" f7 reflector on EQ. All of them are $399 ea. All can be found on the andrews site.

Tony, thanks mate. Ready to sell your new Celestron for $1500 yet?

Congratulations Ken. Now we'll see some real art work! Don't go crazy with your newly aquired fortune, spread it around a little bit, huh?

Good luck.

Too many bills to catch up on to squander it!!!

Had the Introduction day today at my new job. I was only there for 1 hour and my hearing is almost gone. Have to wear hearing protection.

The spray painting booth is big enough for a small passenger jet! or 2 double decker buses side by side with plenty of space left all round and above. And there are 3 of them!!!

I will have to go to beddy byes earlier now so I can get there on time. No more 2-3am viewing sessions.

Her is a sample of some of the painting I will be doing.

Comet Hunter · #16 25-05-2005, 04:36 PM

Congrats 98! Hope it goes well for you.

Hey...........are you going to repaint your scope as well now????

Cheers,
