    Counting Quarters, how?

    JMMUSTANG & others, Did you say that was one of the too big to fail megabanks called US Bank &/or Wells Fargo? If your city has a state owned bank like we do & they are experiencing record almost 100 million dollar profits along with their almost 100 million dollar building ... don't you dare...

    Charging for Change

    Paul & others, We have NOT (over 2 years now) had even close to experiencing the public outrage that you refer to on our ATM. This is partly because the dynamic in our area is that enough of the banks & credit unions have it so their customers have absolutely no hassle no charge for using any...

    Worse Possible Tar Mess in Bay Imaginable?

    Letter of Support??? Since I was a long term (over 15 years) member of the ICA, do you think they or any other Association could write a letter of support based on the facts that I have given in the event this goes to the Burleigh County States Attorney as a misdemeanor charge. A very...

    Truck Wash Info Comments?

    The article in our local Bismarck newspaper said something about this being the world's largest truck wash??? I am not sure if it is free to read the whole article online but you folks can get the gist of it anyway from the below links. I am not sure if the Associated Press (AP) will pick up...

    DVR Capability Question?

    Re-imbursement for costs involved? bigleo, Earl & others, Based on a court order format ... given limited resources that us operators have ... I wonder if we could sometimes get reimbursed the time involved for getting what they specifically ask for. In the past I have never requested a...

    Our new dog wash

    Sparkey, That is the specific shampoo. We are mostly going by what several people told & showed us. It would be nice if others have experienced that also in their dog washes. I saw it with my own eyes. As a caveat ... I suppose there are variations of tics in different geographical areas. I...

    DVR Capability Question?

    Our GE Kalatel DVR which is approximately 2005 technology is probably older than most of the systems other operators are using. It has the capability to allow a person to view the playback & still be recording. Does everyone else have that capability? One of the reasons I am asking is that I...

    Washme1 & others, A local Verizon Mobile Phone Store just put a $25 very thin special tempered glass protectant cover for my phlablet (Samsung Galaxy Note 3). I sure wish I could come up with something that good for our Dog Wash Touch Screens. I have only had the phone shield for about 5 days...

    Catastrophic Power Surge

    Bigleo48, I know I am getting a wee bit off of the focus on the catastrophic topic with the various horrific causes ... but problems can also be caused from "much less stray current in grounding" in other ways also. In our laundromat ... in some of my commercial dryers (all of which have small...

    Catastrophic Power Surge

    Bigleo48, Do you know where some of us could buy a specific clamp ammeter on that go low enough in amperage to be effective? I have used my Amprobe Brand for over 25 years now ... but for the minuscule amperage ... it is too high of a range. I found a few meters & accessories to some...

    Worse Possible Tar Mess in Bay Imaginable?

    Stuart & others, Good points. From past experience, there is a good chance I would be wasting my time with the police because since it was not a case of leaving the scene before we got to them. Our police department tends to then turn it over to the city attorney & he would tend to say that...

    Worse Possible Tar Mess in Bay Imaginable?

    We have a huge number of new & sometimes very young & inexperienced contractors in our area because of the shortage of housing. Last Wednesday one of my employees caught one of the vehicles before they had a chance to drive away. Apparently the two guys were ordered by their boss to clean up...

    Detroit's Abandoned Car Wash & Detail Shop Pics

    Pro-Techt, Thanks for the pics. Collectively, the pics resemble a devastated war zone to some extent. It clearly points to the need to not take our livelihoods too much for granted & that there are vulnerabilities & fragilities for our industry. Any aspect that is an impediment to us in our...

    Preserving meter box decals

    washme1, Based on first hand experience ... can it separate from the decal surface long term wise? The reason why I am asking is because we have some reverse printed clear Lexan that we would not want to chance damaging if the special film eventually had a problem & actually needed to be...

    Bay rotary switch

    On a previous post I stated that I was going to try a different thermostat with a higher temperature range so it does more than just keep the box from freezing shut. We survived the extra tough winter (not closed for a single hour less than our normal 8 AM- 10PM) without any moisture related...
