Thanks Lou, nice trailer even if some feel it is wrong. The throught is what counts.

If he was the biggest practical joke what will he be when Hillary wins and he is First Man.

WOW what a blank! Lou if you have trouble posting ask Beth to upload it for you.

James I too have peace officers in the family, both the wife's brothers are police officers, one of my cousins worked for The Company, another was a Military Attaché' and I have had friends who are police officers or MPs. Not one believes stricter gun laws will reduce crime but it will reduce our chances to protect our families. I am totally sick of all the do gooders who think they know what is best for ME; I know better what is best for me. I do not tell others what they can or cannot own and I expect the same back to me. I do not hunt, do not believe in killing just for the sport of it yet I do not condemn those that do as long as they take home and eat what they kill. I would never point a gun at something or someone unless I intend to use it but I would make darn sure that the person knows it is loaded and that I am not afraid to use it if I must to protect my family and self. You are as we all know entitled to your opinion and I respect that just as we are all entitled to ours. California wants a law passed saying we must register and sign for shell, every bullet we buy, every pound of powder those that reload buys, in other words they want to know every damn thing we do. ENOUGH BIG BROTHER ALREADY, leave me along I am fine and know how to take care of myself. Live and let live.

Best idea yet, just hand the bag over to me for safe keeping, in say 25 years from now if there is anything left I will return it to you as by then I will be an old man not in need of it much anymore. If you feel that is not fair I will send you a dividend check once a year IF you send me snail mail and remind me, keep in mind as I age my brain does to and becomes forgetful at times:)

And what about alcohol and tobacco and drugs? I suppose I could think of many things but what real purpose does alcohol serve other then to get a high or drunk? Here is something to think about, 95% of all drunk driving accidents kill peopl in the other car but the drunk lives because he or she is so relaxed when they crash the body takes little beating compared to those in the other car who are fully alert. Uh oh I need to run as I see someone with a 2x4 coming after me because I said take his daily 6 pack away. He is about to kill me what that piece of wood, HELP.

Hey since there really is nothing safe, I mean food can kill you too if you eat to much perhaps if we ban life then there will be no problem. Ok so I am extreme here but alcohol, cigs, dairy products, you name it it is bad for us. One side says fish is good for the body then the other side says fish has things that are bad for the body, go figure. No names mentioned but one of those big name ban the gun females lives here in CA, we have two of them but one has a CCP, so why is it ok for her to own and carry but not the rest of us?

Stick em up, your under arrest for taking bribes from pressure washers, we planted that to catch any and all pressure washers not cleaning dumpster pads but instead playing hobo and looking though trash bags.

Would love a true deep dish pizza but not really found here in CA, sure all the places that make them claim they are real but have had enough to know they are not. Now a true Sicilian pizza made for us by friends who have owned an Italian restaurant for many a year is two pizzas, double stacked and loaded to the hilt. As for crust I like them medium, not so thin they taste like cardboard, not so thick it is like eating bread. And I love to smother butter on the ends. What keeps me FAT. Frozen, hmm, just buy the cheapest there is, never believed a frozen pizza could be good so guess I need to check out the top brands and see for myself how good they taste.

Now this might not have anything directly to do with pressure washing but sure is nice to know others feel as I do. California CCP laws are up to each county and some make it pretty hard to qualify, first a long list of papers to fill out, full background check which you pay for, then you have to qualify with the firearm you want to carry so if you have say a 9mm, 45 auto, 38 snub nose, 32 cal. or a 44 mag you cannot have a permit for all so pick one. (I am not sure if their is a list of legal guns not allowed for CCP) Then before you qualify another part of the background check is the city you live in, the police chief there has to ok it, if he for whatever reason says NO forget the permit.

I am not ashamed to admit I own a gun, or two but I am sick and tired of having those anti-gun haters blaming guns rather then sick minds for the killings. I mean not once have I ever witnessed one of my guns walking out at night to go shooting people. Yet I am in that class that is considered a CRIMINAL just for owning a gun. Besides I got mine legally, not out of a back alley in a gang neighborhood. And my doctor owns a gun too!

Man you guys all make me look bad without even saying my name or hinting I might be a crook! I have found wallets, purses and other things and do turn them in but a bag of 20Grand? I suppose it would make no difference if it was in a brown paper bag or money bag or one of those bank deposit bags with a lock on it to you. Sure if it was a money or bank bag common sense says the manger dropped it, but a plain brown paper bag I think I would let me consious decide and knowing I am not a thief or crook would call the cops but what do you think they would do with it? Law here says if you found that pot of gold, went to the police station (not call them to you, you must take it there) and after so many days if no one claims it they it is yours. (not sure if it is 30 days or longer but there is a time frame.)

First thing I would do is keep my mouth shut and not tell anyone. Second thing is to NOT deposit it in any account but use it for fun money or food paying cash. Hey finders keepers and keep the mouth shut.

Hey you left out some and the one most missing JAZZ and reggae, then Soft Rock and CD's hmm, what else? I sort of jump between stations, Oldies and Jazz man, JAZZ do you haer me? Jazz rocks man, and if you truly are in the MOOD it gotta be Jazz or Reggae. I even crank up my 12 inch speak AMP, man you can truly feel things viberate!

With all the things going on and all the rumors and facts happening right now mostly with the PWNA I wonder how all of you both members and non members feel about those changes? I shall assume you all know the board is now locked down as one example of change. So speak up and say it like you see it, good bad or ugly.

Oh gosh how can anyone CYA on this one, it is very true.

we don't have earthquakes, we just have a whole lotta shakin going on!! good advice.

Hey Lou did you find a trailer set up yet, if so what did you get and all the little goodies with it? A picture would be nice too. Or are you still looking?

Lou you have heard this enough times but hang in there and the perfect rig for you will be yours.

Brian hold it right there on that cold water unit, you said you plan to do driveways and commercial flatwork, for flatwork you really need hot water to do the job even with all the chemicals out there. I know little about roofs or other residental work as that was not what I did, I did industrial/commercial only and with the right repeat monthly and weeky accounts you can do very well. Example, one of my weekly accounts paid $1240 a month at one location so you can see it does add up. Now the hard part is getting those kind of accounts! You ask if there is anything you missed, not really but do factor in the upkeep on equipment and breakdowns and they do happen when you least expect it too, like at 3 AM when your have 15 minutes left of a 4 hour job.

There are other cost you need to consider, insurance, business licenses, if required Workers' Comp. are a few that come to mind. What is your target area going to be, flat work, house washing, deck and wood re-finishing, fleets, hoods or some other area of pressure washing? Consider buying a late model truck, consider buying someone who is selling his business but do get the equipment checked out be a local dealer where the seller lives. Have you done any pressure washing? if not there are some that would allow you to work with them for a few days to a week for free to gain experience on the work and equipment. None will be in your area as competitors don't want you to know who they service. Regardless of what line your going to be targeting I suggest a hot/cold rig. I would also recommend a 3/4 ton truck. Now a little bit more since your in the South, an enclosed trailer or box truck rather then open trailer.

All that happens after I type in Dan is God shows up then it shuts down, reason is it is trying to put spyware in my computer and Ad-Aware catches it and shuts down so it cannot install.

Cute Grant, really CUTE.

In a nutshell if i am right it means no more class action lawsuits. Big business wins this one since you cannot sue them as a group. Also it was taken out of state courts and put into federal courts which are harder to win in. Now this bit Bob said about lawyers, yes he has a very good point but here's the problem, most if not all politicians were lawyers. I personally don't trust lawyers much, dentist are about equal with them. Gad, as a landlord you have certain rights and laws to follow, as a tenant they also have certain rights and laws to follow. If a tenant refuses to sign a rental agreement or lease you can refuse to rent to them. If there are major problems you are required to fix them in a timely manner. If the tenant damages your property you can sue them in small claims court for the amount of damage plus what it cost to repair the damage as long as you hired a licensed contractor to do the work. Hire a non licensed handy man or do it yourself then your limited to cost of material only, no labor. The tenant must inform you in writing about repairs needed and you have 30 days for most repairs to be made. Exceptions are made if it is life threating such as gas leaks, broken and exposed electrical wires or toilet that won't stop running or won't flush due to clogged lines. Now there is one exception to that toilet being clogged too, if the tenant flushes diapers or other things down it that are not suppose to be flushed you can charge the tenant plus you can give him the 3 day notice to quit and vacant the property. He broke his agreement by damaging the toilet, grounds to evict him or her. At least here in California that is how the law works.

Ryan your totally wrong about the government losing it, they lost it long before you were born, all you're seeing now is the leftovers! :lgjump: :lgbonk: :lgsideway :rant: PS: I do agree big business is the government. Do you remember when they broke up MA Bell since it was to big? well not they have a few bigger ones. Verizon/MCI just became bigger and MCI sucks big time. Today alone I have had 3 yes THREE junk calls from them but since we have distinctive ring we don't answer when the little box tells us who it is. We don't have them nor want them.
