    SS plate for vac

    There is no tipping it. It's in a ss frame filled with concrete. I can't drill out the lock either. I'm about to attack with my grinder if he can't coax the key out.

    SS plate for vac

    I broke a key off in one of my vacs and I guess I'm going to have to grind through the stainless plate that holds the lock. Anybody have one of those laying around? I shutter to think what JC would ask me for one. I have a locksmith friend coming to look today but the next step is to attack with...

    Ryko Problem

    Where are you? There has to be a more dependable tech somewhere nearby.

    What's fun in Denver?

    I remember about the airport. The first time I flew in I thought we were landing in the wrong place. Maybe we can take a snowmobile trip like the one Bill posted! Seems they have plenty of snow.

    Got robbed last night

    I think he rested his head on the sign that informed him that he was being recorded. He was actually driving a pretty nice car that I have some pretty good shots of. I'm going to ask my neighbor from the used car lot next door to id the car tomorrow. I'm sure he will be able to. I suspect the...

    Got robbed last night

    I put a piece of steel on the door that will keep them from peeling it back from now on I hope. I'm having trouble saving and playing back the video from my dvr. I really have not had time yet to go through all of the cameras to see if I have any shots of the vehicle. It's been a crazy week...

    Got robbed last night

    Some guy took a crowbar to my front door and got inside last night. I have them on video but we will see if that helps. They (man and a woman) came in and took all of the quarters out of the changer, luckily I always leave it unlocked. They left all of the bills and even left the currency that I...

    broken key in vac

    So far I've broken every bit I've used and I can't saw it. The little guard spins with big bits and the little bits break. Do I need a special kind of bit? Thx

    What's fun in Denver?

    I'm going on a business trip next week and have an afternoon and evening free in Denver. Anybody know anything about Denver? What would be fun that we could do in an afternoon and evening? Just taking a shot here... Thanks

    Interesting View about getting out of our mess

    The problem with the recent investments in "infrastructure" is that they were merely political payoffs to cronies. I like Buffett's solution: no one is eligible for re-election unless the budget is balanced.

    high impact pump

    We are washing a few cars today after 3 days of rain. Everything seems to be going pretty well. Timed my top wash at 5:30 today so I'm thinking I probably shaved off a minute. If we have a great winter I may keep my eyes open for a reasonable price on a pump that will crank 300-350 psi.

    high impact pump

    Just want to be sure that we are talking about the same pump. I'm talking about the pump that powers my prewash on the softgloss. To be honest I have never laid eyes on the pump. It's in that ss box in my equipment room. I don't think it's the same as on the ohd but then I don't know anything...

    high impact pump

    Rykopro, Do you happen to know the rating on the prewash pump on a Softgloss? I would guess it at 200 lbs or so. The spinners would be impressive at 350 lbs. Maybe I'll keep my eyes open for one that will get me 300-350 lbs of pressure. Like I said, it's adequate now but could be better.

    The Anarchy has started

    Beck was doing a story this morning about the kitchen staff, yes kitchen staff, at ows complaining about having to work 18 hours a day to feed the "professional homeless people and ex-convicts" who are showing up to eat. They were complaining about people who do nothing showing up to take from...

    high impact pump

    I'm sure that I'm not smart enough to do that! The pressure is adequate but less than I had hoped for. It's raining and nasty here so noone has used it but me today. Sun is supposed to be back tomorrow so I should get some feedback. I think they will function as well as it did before and should...

    Bite The Bullet

    I like my Softgloss. There used to be a lot of slightly used friction machines available from markets where they were not well accepted. Don't know if that is still the case or not but you might look at carwashconsignment.com. The public is begining to see the light imo.
