Lightbulb Pin-Ups Calendar!!

It might not be too late to put together a 2015 Pin-Ups Calendar! (an idea inspired by Elizabeth B29)

Available in the gift shop!! (paging Miss Brenda)

Maybe put a couple of insert pics w/ each month's photo of before/during rebuild & a little blurb about location, etc.

A great addition to any shop or office!

Great idea. Let's just try to keep it classy. If an engine feels uncomfortable, we need to respect that choice. On the other hand, if an engine really wants to "let it all hang out," we need to respect that choice as well.

Thumbs up Classy Indeed

Because you can't spell class w/o... Lass! And a bonnie lass she'll be!

Got a quote on wall calendars, and it might not be economically feasible for our niche market .

If we print 500 we have to sell 133 @ $20 to break even (but maybe only have to sell 113 if we print 250. didn't get a quote on that )

How many supporters does the site have? I wonder.

A few years back, the local fruit growers association decided to print a tractor pin-up calendar to raise funds for the school. Each month would also have a list of seasonal orchard chores, and of course, recipes for dishes to make with fruit! Somewhere along the line, they somehow decided that the only way they'd make any money is if everyone was photographed sitting on their tractor, naked.

Now, you might think that people would pay good money to avoid looking at my friends and neighbors in that condition. (I would. I mean, well, my Dad was on the cover.) But somehow it actually made a fair amount of cash.

(Along the way, everyone agreed that the next year, it would be the ladies turn. But somehow, that never happened...)

Not suggesting anything, just warning about how these things can go...

Oh, and I never knew people had so many tattoos!

I have added three pics I took this week to my album. I think they are labeled with a 2014 file name too, if anyone is interested. These are not pin-up quality, but I think I have a pretty good chronological resurrection.

Perhaps not just limit the photos to 'whole engines'? Why not photos of transmissions, cam drives, bottom ends, valve gear, --- the list goes on.
Just my thought - what do you think?

Red face ...gives new meaning to 'boat porn.'

Just saying. That said, I'd buy one to support the effort...and remind me of the importance of corrosion control and proper winter care.
