I take regular vacations got 3 planned @ 2 weeks each this year.Never understood how car wash owners don't, take vacations. They are not indispensable, they will regret not enjoying time with family or relaxing when faced with heath issues. Life is to be lived ,not to be a slave to your business.

Thanksgiving is always a guessing game on how busy I will be today. Windy and high of 40 ,it's sunny and hunting season is down to last weekend for big game. Chinook winds melted snow and not much mud.Out of state hunter numbers are down due to fuel prices. My guess under 100 vehicles...

3lakesguy I had a 3 bay in town of 2500 and pumped 750 gallon pits between 20 to24 times a year. I had my own ring-a -matic, very rural town other than main hi-way all other roads were mix of gravel and dirt. Famers and ranchers are cheap by nature as they are on their own government welfare...
