    Carwash Closings

    Mac & others, Based on the below link ... it sounds like the current still costly HIV & its human behavior relationship could at some point be treated differently by mainstream media & celebrities??? Hopefully, the death toll & duration of this Covid-19 will be kept to lower than their...

    Poll: Do you play music at your car wash?

    We have 6 strategically located speakers in our laundromat for our 60" Sony TV. Each speaker has a volume control that customers have access to ... in a wet location that would be tougher. As far as getting too high of quality of speakers ... keep in mind the background noises from the vacs &...

    Bank not taking coins

    The reason why these charts such as linked below tend to say "up to" is because like Roz pointed out "other factors" https://www.fox17online.com/news/coronavirus/how-long-does-a-coronavirus-live-on-common-surfaces

    Paint for Wash Bays

    fastlx, We do not regret painting with water based 2 part epoxy from Sherwin Williams above 8 feet in our bays & even our hollow core concrete ceiling surfaces. We did that over 20 years ago. FRP is up the 8' & used because of the horrors of lower than 8' paint. I went with glossy white to...

    How to Clean Tar from Bay?

    Theckie, Eric H & others, We had basement sealing with tar concrete company that we caught red handed. In hindsight ... I would have locked them in the bay(indoor locks) until someone authorized from the company agreed to pay or emergency cleaned it up themselves. It was that bad & even all...

    Bank not taking coins

    Wyatt, Waxman & others, You make an excellent point. For banks to use the Covid-19 as an excuse to not accept coins is not just misleading but "appalling" IMHO! I hate to question those irresponsible CEOs' motivations but to ignore "conflict of interest" & motivation is not always the best...

    Poll: Do you play music at your car wash?

    Debra & others, I answered "no" to your poll. Even though we have large "old style 70s 80s?" powerfully loud waterproof Talk-A-Phone-2-way audio Horns in the each bay. An audio expert might share his or her opinion on the quality ... not sure myself. I know voice communication is not too...

    Mixed denomination Bill Counter

    Earl & others, In some ways, it would be nice to have it have an off sort. In other words only counts & stacks the bill that is currently set while off sorting the rest with a different setting for a future pass & sort-stack. Based on the Ribao's specs it appears it might be much better at...

    Carwash Closings

    Laundromats also need to show some effort on our part ... so we tout our 2 sinks with soap (& paper towels) along with monitoring the number of people in a close proximity area. Also since we are almost 100% attended we offer 99.9% Clorox hand wipes (ring our Doorbell Fon) for those who forget...

    Bank not taking coins

    Husky vs Harbor Freight small compressor comparison

    I see the single phase 2 stage 175 psi Quincy QT-54 is only 80 decibels. It says 24 amp but suggests or actually requires a 50 amp breaker? The 3 phase??? version would tend to make for no initial amp surge so the 3 phase breaker probably could be 20 amp ... just thinking out loud...

    Self Service Car Wash - Covid-19

    Considering the high content of copper within $1 coins they are safer it appears! We give a lot of them out from our changers so they tend to end up in our coin boxes. Here is a very credible link comparing the Covid-19 on plastic vs $1 coins...

    Husky vs Harbor Freight small compressor comparison

    STXCW, We had good long term experience with a smaller portable with wheels 2 tube style tank Quincy that finally appears to just need an internal kit at the present moment. It was the type that tended to be sold to roofers. My part timer is good at replacing seals in small engines etc. ...

    IDEC PLC/HMI Online Training (Free)

    For some of us where we are looking to controlling mostly just things like contactors, relays, safety circuits & HMIs ... I is good to see the PLC training & understanding the PLC potential better. I remember the forum's founder William Pitzer really advocated & utilized the PLC approach. For...

    Carwash Closings

    Randy, They???? It appears ... not all experts agree on that drastic of a time table. No doubt ... it will be out of the comfort zone for some used too those previous minimums! It seems like some in the media are putting out too much unwarranted pessimism IMHO!

    Adding Credit Card the American Changer AC1005

    CCWO1, You have your "marching orders" to help me lobby for ATMs available in the USA that dispense both a denomination of a bill & also dollar coins. I see way fewer of the quarter look a like Susan Bs in the thousands that I get from my bank so maybe there is still hope for higher...

    Carwash Closings

    Randy & others, I also could be wrong (PollyAnna?) but I think everything will be very much improved within 4 weeks etc based on: After listening to Dr Oz (with a leading edge specialist) this afternoon, March 23rd ... that supported reasons for optimism for the ability to accelerate the...

    How are you all doing?

    On Randy's linked video starting about 2:50 it mentions the "Asian Wet Market" link etc. Hopefully, it is just journalistic sensationalism ... but on the other hand maybe there are valid concerns???!!!
