How About A Calendar???
> LOL I like your style and you're quick. I was going to up my suggestion just a bit by suggesting a wine cooler in the hand of one and a beer in the hand of the other. You jumped right to the end game:)
LOL thanks. See what happens when one is married to a surveyor?? And a SARCASTIC one at that? (Hope Wendell doesn't see this...) 😉
I was also thinking one of the figures could have a mini skirt on, but what kinda woman would survey in a mini skirt?? The job would NEVER get done then. Especially if she was out on a highway. haha!!
Another thing I thought about is a calendar of some sort. You guys submit your surveying pics and we put it in a calendar. I think it would be neat to see you guys posing in your gear with your tool belts on next to your instruments. :good:

I still like the coffee mugs, the can cooler thingy and calendar idea. And some "freebies" with every order like a sticky pad or decal or mechanical pencil or a toy tripod or...?? Just so long as it is all made in the USA.
Of course all orders come with my personal hand written note of thanks. I stand by this and no matter what happens, even if I had 1000's of orders and got writers cramp for years, I believe in always personally thanking and validating you guys. Heck if I could I'd throw in home grown food too! But that's just me. =)

> I certainly know that I can't appease everyone, but I'd like to appease as many as possible. I like the small front logo (but on a pocket) and large back logo too. This first batch of shirts is mostly a test. I'm actually thinking, now that I've put 500 variations in the store, that I should narrow that down to just a few. Maybe orange, white and black with a couple of design options.
I hear you. But after doing my own promo tee's for my biz I have found that I like about 3 variations. A grey with blue logos, and then a Carolina blue with white logos and an orange with white logos are by far the most popular. I ordered some green ones with white logos (for my Marshall University affinity), but they didn't go over so well. The old KISS principle works well (Keep It Simple, Stupid) in this situation (please don't take that personally).
I hope this stuff does well!! Anything to offset your operating costs!!

No offense taken! That's been my philosophy with this site since day one. 🙂
Sorry Nate leave site as "Beer Leg"
The site site is a casual place for all associated with surveying to chat and therefore the name is extremely appropriate.
My Bob Plumb shirt with small logo on pocket was classy and an easy exception to my rule of not publicly wearing product advertising.
Nate U will have to continue to enjoy the site and not procure a T shirt.

You are reading my mind Wendell, now you are talking bout my kind of a t-shirt, pockets and something about surveying on the back.

I remember that shirt, just on the outskirts of Twisp, standing in the snow, in March 2004.......
Fond memories.....

"Beer Leg" is fine by me
The name Beer Leg doesn't bother me one bit, although I can understand why some would prefer a different name for this site, due to the well-reasoned comments they posted. I'm no longer in the corporate world nor doing business for the general public, nor in a position where anything I might wear would offend anyone, so frankly would love to have a Beer Leg tee-shirt.
I think the name Beer Leg was pretty ingenious on Wendell's part. Only a surveyor would really know what a "beer leg" is. My Daddy taught me surveying starting when I was 10 years old, and that old fella never to this day has ever had a drop of alcohol in his bloodstream (he's 88, so that's a long time to go without a beer).
Nevertheless, even when I was a kid working in the woods with him, if I ever set up the instrument with a tripod leg on line, he would holler "Beer Leg"! and I would have to redo the setup. So I have been familiar with that term for at least 48 years, and since way before I ever tasted my first beer.
I like it.

Sorry Nate leave site as "Beer Leg"
As the saying goes: "Don't change horses in the middle of the stream" Beer Leg brought us here! Stick with it. I like the Dr. Jekyll - Mr. Hyde persona though!
Maybe "SurveyorConnection.com" as a variation in lieu of "Surveyorconnect.com"
The name of the site could be or remain Beer Leg but perhaps the domain could be served by www.beerleg.com and www.myrpls.com.

It already has a dual-personality. 😉
You can get here via BeerLeg.com, as always.
Or, you can go to SurveyorConnect.com, and everything is the same except for the name and logo.

You're being very good natured, Wendell
Wendell, you're being very good natured about handling the complaints of your guests who have been given an excellent meal and now want to grouse about the fact that the napkins aren't linen. :>
You're being very good natured, Wendell
A big AMEN to that Kent.
Kent,

From the Original Post:
This post is INTENDED as being helpful, not to criticize. To make the world of surveying better... not to mess anything up.
The dual personality looks like you may have addressed this issue, adequately.

Leave it!
I guess I am old.
Beer Leg was part of the everyday surveying vernacular "back then". (B4 EDMs)
My vote is to leave it!
I've never cared about "impressing others" or even care what they think. That said, I probably will not wear one, only because I wear a company shirt (uniform) when in the field.
But I would have NO problem wearing one any other time at all.
Just more political correctness run amok.

If you don't want to wear a "T" shirt with Beer Leg on it, then don't. You're a good guy, but even I think this was a bit rude (I know, pot and kettle thingy going on here).
To Quote Jack Nicholson from a few good men
"I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it."
Nate
I had NEVER heard of the item "Beer Leg" as it pertains to a tripod leg.....
I had only heard of the expression "Beer Leg" as it pertains to dringking too much beer.
Ya larn something everyday.
Thanks.
Gotta go make a few "Beer Legs"
