hope all is well. & hope bizz. gets back to normal. hurricane Dolly just hit my area. the subdivision i was working on got the majority of there roof shingles blown off. out of 9 3000sf+ houses only one didnt get damaged. all got a new roof. my $5000 for the 2 weeks of roof cleaning in my area went out the window

right on Jeff. the american people are just scarred of the what ifs. he beat the odds. a black man for president. its about time for a change. we need someone to take control of this contry and to get some heads rolling in the white house. any one that is going promote/enforce the green act is a winner in my book. after all the big picture the earth.

change is good?

hey don try listeningto Matt costa or dispatch and Donavon Frankenwiter i think youll like them. On my work Ipod I have all sorts of music but more like Bad Religion, Sublime,Bob Marley, diego roots, the expendables, pepper. but mostly listen to the Howard stern show on sirus it cracks me up

Sorry my winter is an average of 55*-40*

Good point mud duck ill get my all my buddies to say that to the manager.Im sure that after a few complaints they will do something about it.if not no big deal most places around here look like that anyway.

fiji....g-land to be specific. and the pipeline

my first car was a 1974 corvette stingray got it when i was 14 and did all the work with my dad.had a 350 borred out -30 popout pistons,polished and ported the works it was hitting a low 12's in the 1/4 mi.and lost it when i was turning 17. got caught racing a 97 firebird ram air that was talking smack a school.was clocked a 95mph in a 30 beat the cop to my house and ended up being my dads good buddy that pulled me over. thats the last time i saw that car. but i ended up buying a 1974 toyota land cruiser 4x4,v8,6"lift,35 mt's and will never go back to a car again.unless gas hits the $6 mark thats where i draw the line

The one that gets me is the intro guitar part to smoke on the water by purple haze.been in my head for weeks at atime

Just use my notebook and small cannon printer. Have about 6 difrent templates for houses,rv's,decks,ect. plus another 4 for commercial buildings. select a template make my notes,then send one to customers email & print one out for them.takes about 10 mins for a full documented estimate. plus keeps a good customer database burned on a cd withestimate

Kevin-Its a good thing that they throw in that 0* tip in there and that they dont put labels on them. We all had to learn somehow.(trial and error) Hope they have insurance.then a pro can go by there and do a demo so they can see the difference in quality. I see it all the time around here. brings me more work

honda all the way!!! (2 stroke only)

You can take them to a burton auto parts store dont know if you have them where you live,or any hydrolics store should be able to mend it. but i too will buy a new hose and keep the busted one for backup.

You did the right thing Matt. You went the extra mile to please your client. Sometimes customers just dont get what we are trying to explain to them.

damn!!! thats scary. I bet he'll never do that again

I'll wash the Dog if the money is right!!!!

Least:100* 85%+humidity days & sunburns Most:I go fishin,surfin whenever I want and Im not stuck in a office anymore!

I just bought my first x-jet m5 because i played with the d/s and the chems are weaker. cant figure out the ratios.i will be getting it in today. and then its time to work. so ill post up my opinion after i have used both. im not saying downstreaming hasnt worked for me though.just looking for something better.

If that is a "bolt together trailer" you should buy some good tires. had a 12' x 5' single axle trailer(3500 lbs.) last year with a 225 gal. tank and cold water washer the worx on the trailer and when full it was scary doing 60mph on a bumpy hwy.hauling water is crazy!

Mesquite,hickory,and pecan chunks will be your best bet . first start off by getting a bucket throw some chunks in there fill with water,let soak for a few hours .Then you can start the fire with charcoal or the wood you are somkin with.when the coals are ready throw some wet chunks in the fire box and the smoke will start to cook the meat.try to keep the heat at 250-300 for ribs it will take about 3hrs or so. but the ribs will fall off the bone.

1.50lf building 2.00lf gutter cleaning + chems.but it might not be enough for what you wanna make.that is what its going for where im at.soi agree with lance. Look at what youre cleaning ask yourself, how much would i pay to do this? then add 20%. sometimes its just not worth doing.
