  1. Any little league baseball coaches here???

    You did good. Take good care of those high quality bats because they will go dead if you dont. When they go dead you will notice right away. They dont last more than a season but by then he'll be ready for a bigger one anyway.

    If your serious about buying a good bat your going to have to spend the money. Never buy a high quality bat that is used. These high quality bats lose there ability to hit the ball hard over time. They do not llast long at all if they are not taken care of. If you see your son/daughter pounding the bat on the ground you need to stop them. Also, we had bats we used for batting practice and then we kept our best bats for the games. My experience is that they go dead after onlly 1 season and thats if they are taken care of.
  3. Shurflo Pump

    When I ran the flow test I was using 10ft of 3/8 open ended hose. I know that 1.8gpm is not going to happen but I didnt expect 1.0 either. Anyway I'll give it a shot. Don. I built one of your Phelps Wand and put a 6015 tip on it. I tried it out with a short piece of hose and it works great. Im going to love it if it sprays like that when I get the 200 ft. of 3/8 attachd to it. Should be delivered today. Thanks.
  4. Just a quick question for the pump experts. Bought a shurflo pump model #8009-543-236 from northern tools. thought i was buying a 1.8 gpm 60 psi pump. can i really expect 1.8 gpm? when i test flowed it into a bucket it came out 1 gpm. it was set up with 10 ft of 3/8 hose on the inlet and outlet. not going through a sprayer of any sort. just free flowing into bucket. did i make an error? thanks in advance.

    Hey Scott I think the 28 would work best but he might could use a 29 real soon. I like to pick a bat that has a -4 difference between the length and weight. I coached for many years and if I could give you 1 good piece of advice on how to hit the ball hard is to get him a t and several balls and a nice solid chain link fence to hit against. Dont use the neighbors. Teach him to 'throw' his hands at the ball with the bat if that makes sense. If you try it yourself and get it right you will see what I mean. It would feel like throwig the bat to a spot between second and first base. Good luck.
  6. State of Affairs - Gas Prices etc

    $1.25 here in houston. Not!! Just kidding. Actually yesterday I saw it for 1.99 Not good. My wife works for Exxon and has a bunch of company stock in her 401. Dont want to see it come down to much myself.
  7. Clouds of Hydrochloric Acid

    Good job John. Safety first sometimes is easier said than done and we all need a little eye opener from time to time to remind us what really is important to us and our families and that is to come home just like we left. Thanks for sharing.
  8. Clouds of Hydrochloric Acid

    Sounds serious enough to me that you may want to consider drafting a letter in addition to the phone call. Send it to the owner of the company. You may have to do some research but you can find it. This way you will have documentation exactly what happened and on what date and time. This will put a little scare into him and will surely get his attention. If you dont hear back from him or dont think they are listening to what your telling them then send a copy to the city. Good luck.
  9. 9/11 - who done it!

    I just wasted 15 seconds of my life reading this thread.
  10. My new brochure and flyer - take a look!

    Keith of KBX Your work is tremedous. You do some really nice quality stuff at very reasonable prices. When the time comes you will be on the short list for graphic designers. By the way. What would it cost to get my logo and contact info on that black and white 'home bath' flyer and sent to me on a file that I can get some good quality prints from. Thanks in advance.
  11. 3/8th vs. 1/2

    Recently had pressure drop problems also. Check the obvious like the tips and unloader adjustment but my problem turned out to be a bad unloader. Check recent 'pump pressure' thread because the guys helped me a lot with the troubleshooting.
  12. Gutters

    Hello Gang I understand how you are cleaning the exterior of the gutters. My question is how you are cleaning out the gutters themselves. I Have the curved attachement. What pressure do you reccomend. What nozzle? Thanks
  13. Pump Question

    Kevin Man. Wish I could help you on this one. Sounds like you got it covered. Im going to be on the sidelines watching this thread continue and see what becomes of your pump and problem. Like reading a good book. Good luck. Steve
  14. How would you handle it?

    My 2 cents worth. Although I see what the problem is and I dont think it was fair to you I still think you have to get over it and move on. Yea, it might be a principle issue but it has become an emotional issue as well and this will have far reaching effects. I do believe its worth a letter or phone call stating the problem with the scheduling and I think the guy would appreciate the call and will probably think twice before pulling that again. If you handle this right you can potentially come out much farther ahead in the long run with this guy. Its all part of doing buisness just like having to repair some critical equipment at your buisness when you need it most. It is what it is and nothing can change it. Like I said. My 2 cents worth. Good nite.
  15. Ken Fenner. I really like your summary. Especially the last one about daily prayer and meditating. And your right. That should probably rank up there as first on the list. For sales and marketing did you listen to Tom Hopkins? Did you benefit from his teachings? I am currently reading one of his books.
