I know, he's not a sign person, but Don Knotts, the deputy that was allowed only one bullet which had to be in his left breast pocket, died yesterday. I can't think of any other star that could've played any role better than he played Barnie Fife, Sheriff Taylor's fidgety deputy. I believe he got his TV start on the Steve Allen show. Does anybody else remember Steve Allen's "Man on the Street" skits where Knotts played, what else but a fidgety character being interviewed by Allen? I'm gonna miss him.

Oh man the dad from the movie "A Christmas Story" Died today too :unsure:

I just read this about Darren McGavin. I guess I never saw "A Christmas Story". I remember him as the tough Mike Hammer. Another good actor deep sixes.

It's a movie that's on TV several times throughout the Christmas season. Funny as hell.

And you consider yourself an American. :gunsfiring:

How about the tongue on the pole scene. Or when santa kicks the Ralphy down the slide as he says 'you'll shoot your eye out kid'. Or better yet the scene when he actually shoots his eye out. Classic I tell ya'.

True, he never physically shot his eye out. But he did hit just below the eye.

      Mounting Signs On EIFS

      By Rocco · Posted

      It depends on what's under the EIFS.   If it's plywood under the foam, then toggles are fine for a lightweight sign.  If masonry, we've come to like the titen HD (simpson strong tie brand) anchors or long wedge anchors.   The Titen HD screws are more user friendly than tapcons IMO.   They come in a variety of sizes, sometimes even at the big home centers.   Just check to see if it's densglass (fiberglass wall panels) under the foam.  Engineeners have told us that densglass isn't "structural" and that things need to be thru-bolted with uni-strut (or equal) sleepers across studs inside the wall.  A few years back, we were called out for an emergency call where someone had installed some large raceway channel letter signs to an EIFS wall that had densglass behind.  They used lag screws.  These held for a while but a heavy snow caused them to fail.   And toggles should work with Densglass but again not for any heavy loads.    In any case don't compress the foam too much.  A sleeve (mentioned above) would be needed for whatever the depth of the foam might be, though probably not needed for something light like an ACM panel.   if it's a really small sign, then appropriate exterior screws are usually OK going into plywood.

      Pepsi logo vinyl colors

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hi   Can anyone tell me the right color red and blue translucent vinyl for the "new" Pepsi logo?  We have a local ice cream spot that recently changed from Coke to Pepsi and we have to replace the graphics on a couple of lit cabinets.   The customer sent me the logo in various formats but it didn't specify the correct colors.   I've searched but keep getting CYMK, etc. for the older logo - 2022 or so.   Thanks!
