    EE Conveyor Speed

    My thought: For those of us in the Snow / Salt belt "... at any exterior only wash it is recommended to establish your optimal speed , set it and forget it." is not a formula for prosperity. At 80+ degrees cooked on tree sap, bird poop, and bug guts removal benefits greatly from increased...

    Have you had your Pit mud tested?

    From what I recall if it's soaking wet it's "Special Waste" (different than hazardous waste.) and regular trash haulers aren't supposed to take it. If you let it dry I don't believe it is special any longer and you can pretty much do whatever you want with it unless it contains something...

    I may be in this category. Upgrades - Yes. Monumental, hardly. Mitters still go back and forth and Brushes side to side, or in AVW case round n round. These standard pieces of equipment and blowers haven't changed much in 10 years plus. Sure there has been on line Tire Shine and Rain X...

    Plastic finaly going away?

    Guess depends whether you will be old and gray sooner or later? Frankly I am surprised it took this long. Was also surprised the SS business CC acceptance equip was so High until recently since it would have seemed that the same stuff they used in taxis could have been retrofitted and they...

    More CFL Conversion questions

    FWIW One by one I converted my Tunnel 400 W. MH to these. https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-40744-lsi-legacy-surface-mount-led-light.aspx The 400 W Fixture lenses weren't that great . The last two I go were the ones linked to. The 4 I got earlier were a prior model and about $50 more and they...

    Plastic finaly going away?

    Visa, MC, and Am Ex already on Board. Saw a news report that Discover will follow soon. This system is independant of ITunes. Apple followed the ITunes model. Steve Jobs got the big record labels on board before rolling out ITunes. (One of Bill gates first comments was "How did he get the...

    Plastic finaly going away?

    Except: NFC does not work with cell towers or 4G. Its an incryped transmission over a short distance (near Field). Currently it is not for a Bank Transfer but I did see a spokesperson for Diebold (On CNBC) that services something like 240,000 ATMs who indicated it could be used instead of an...

    Just Saw McD's on Board as is Citibank. Seems Apple followed the I Tunes Model. Get big players on board (In that case record Publishers) first in this case Bank Card Companies and Large retailers, and others will follow suit.

    Yep, kinda nutty to say the first one was in 2002 when it had already been around for 25 + years. The only thing that was new was automated pay stations, and perhaps deciding to not charge for vacs.

    Plastic finaly going away?

    The new I Phone has near field communication abilities to be used with any credit card. This has been around for a while but did not catch on (IMO) because other vendors limited cards that could be used. I would anticipate competing phone companies will follow the model, but the issue is...
