    Don't forget to....???

    I wish that I had put an exhaust fan in the equipment room and a water hose hook-up in the auto for cleanup.

    Ryko Ultrasonics

    I didn't have time to look when I needed one but I did check Astromatic. This was one of the unusual occaisions where Ryko was cheaper. If you find 1 somewhere else be sure that the cord is long enough. I found photo eyes for half as much but the cord was 3 or 4 feet shorter. I bought it anyway.

    10% Tanning Tax is Racist

    You know, back to the original topic: What would Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson say about a tax that only taxed black people? It would be the lead story on 3 networks. They all led with the Jet Blue story today so they didn't have to talk about the a$$ whoopin obama is likely to take at the polls...

    Nu-Star Soft Touch 3 - Good or Bad?

    www.carwashconsignment.com is a good place to look to see the asking prices on used equipment. There are some really good prices on used equipment, especially friction equipment on the site.

    10% Tanning Tax is Racist

    I'm hoping to avoid the estate tax by voting out the democrats. The sundown provision was included as appeasement to the democrats. In my opinion the biggest mistakes that GWB made were efforts to appease those on the left.

    10% Tanning Tax is Racist

    The estate tax is automatically reinstituted with a $1 million exemption and a 55% rate after that on 1/1/2011. If your wash is worth $1mm and you die next year, your estate will owe 55% of everything else you own, in cash, within 9 months of your death. People better start paying attention.

    Free Vacuums??

    I don't know how they physically made them free. They advertised free vacs on their reader board until very recently.

    Free Vacuums??

    I have noticed the last few days that the vacs were unoccupied at the wash I drive past every day. I noticed today that the free vacs sign is gone too. I guess they got tired of the promotion.

    clogged drains

    I can't believe that I have gone 7.5 years and didn't know this stuff. I ordered the nozzles but they have not come yet. The plumber did show up and dad let them clean it out. It's only $35 but I guess it just sucks for me if it happens on the weekends. I'll add the elbow down asap also and they...

    clogged drains

    So far it seems to be draining fast enough to keep people from driving away. It's not a particulary busy Saturday so I guess I'll limp through the weekend. I will order the nozzle first thing Monday morning. I wish I had known about these before, I would have had one on hand. I've always just...

    clogged drains

    clogged drains

    I have a couple of bays that are not draining today and can't find a plumber who works on Saturday. I have not had to close yet but it's getting close to that. I can't think of a thing that I can do without a snake. Any suggestions?

    Free Vacuums??

    The tunnel across the street just went through a total renovation and business seems to have picked up quite a bit. The ss had, until recently an Oasis Typhoon that seemed to be broken a lot. They just replaced it with a new Water World unit. Mind you what I know about these 2 washes comes...

    Free Vacuums??

    Fwiw I drive past a wash every day that has free vacs on my way to work. There is ALWAYS someone at the vacs. I know that if I see a car in the auto there, that means I will have a line at my place (30 miles away). It just looks to me like he's wearing out his vacs for nothing. He did it because...

    RIP Mike Mckernan

    I had been thinking about Mike all week. Wasn't that kidnapped little girl found at a car wash in Belton Missouri? 51 is way too young.
