We have had the Bud Light sign for a long time and we had an
assortment of poster size pictures in it. I came up with a 20" monitor I wasn't using so I cut it into the sign and hooked it to an old laptop. Now we can run slide shows, videos or even streams if I like. I am sure Harry thinks it is a silly waste of time but it is my time and I like making things a little different than what everyone else has. Once I get everything running right I can hide the laptop in the garage. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/New%20tiki%20screen.jpg |

We have our own 'Canadian Pickers' show and the characters from Alberta travel all over Canada looking for interesting articles to buy and sell at a considerable profit. Unusual old popular signs (Coke, oil companies, beer etc) seem to be high on the list. |

The sign was a gift from a bar owner that my wife sold an air conditioner to. She was drinking Bud Light in those days. He was happy that she could get a unit installed the same day and he did not lose a few days of business. Most of the stuff out there was collected on vacation. The license tag collection started in Nassau when I found that tag on a junked truck bumper that had been parted out on Arawak Cay (west of the docks). Some of the others were collected in the wild, most came from junk yards and the one from Juarez may have been stolen to order ;-) I was sitting in a little cantina, I asked the server if he knew where I could find an old tag and a few minutes later a guy showed up with one. It had a current sticker on it. We always try to find something unusual wherever we are. |
