I've decided that as of Jan 1st my shop will be known as a "Canvas Design Studio". Hoping the name will squeeze a few more bucks outa my customers? Please update your files ...

Does that mean you can get a picture of your boat included on your canvas cover?

I noted that your former name, Creative Canvas, was used by many entities.

Imposters! Had that name since '85!

Btw the new studios name has been changed again. Now known as: Creative canvas & boat cushion research and development facility ...

Those name changes are costing you money in changing web sites, road side billboards, business cards, yellow pages, dex, letterhead paper, name stamps, lawn signs, and building lettering. Just call it Campbell's Coverings.

This Creative Canvas started in 1984: http://www.creativecanvasfl.com/

Only if you'll put me up in a biosphere that simulates SW FL Jerry.

Tbh I think about a 'slogan' all the time. Best one I've come up with so far, imo, is: "We give good thread". But have as yet been unsuccessful floating it past Beth ...?

Funny you should mention that Jerry. Mom's got a Warrior that needs the cobwebs knocked out. Well maintained & regularly serviced but sits next to her house in the sun most of the time.

Fantasize 'bout bringin it up there some August. Has a trailer hitch ...

Jerry,

What year is that Winnie? My family had an '82 - '83 Itasca about 30' - 32' in length. Ours looked nearly identical to this one except ours had dark green and tan stripes on it with a matching interior. Had a 440 in it. I was 14 when mom and dad were away for the weekend and my brother was at work. So, I decided I would practice my driving skills in a 30 footer around the neighborhood. I believe I told dad about my adventures in the Winnie when I was around 33 - 34.

It's a 79. I think it had a 360 originally, but now has a 440. It's our 3rd unit. I wish we could use it more.

That's funny. Seems liked the neighbors would have noticed the big mobile home doing circles around the neighborhood and would have ratted on you. I bet there were a few attempted doughnuts and burnouts too!

I never dared tell my Dad about any of the crap I pulled in his vehicles. Was usually able to bail out of jail and/or get the car fixed before he came back into town ...

No doughnuts but that 440 sure sounded good when you put the pedal down. I usually headed out real easy and just backed it into the exact same spot. Usually hosed it down and acted like I was washing it to fool the neighbors if they did see me. Most probably thought it was my brother driving it. We took that thing from Baton Rouge up to Washington, D.C. with stops in Williamsburg, VA, Gattlinburg, TN, Ashville, NC and a few trips to see LSU take on Alabama and Auburn. Wasn't too bad when gas was around $1.

Gregg, I just threw an area rug over the motorcycle burn strips.
