A drunken man walks into a biker bar, sits down at the bar and orders a drink. Looking around, he sees 3 men sitting at a corner table. He gets up, staggers to the table, leans over, looks at the biggest, meanest one in the face and says, "I went by your grandma's house today and I saw her in the hallway buck naked. Man, she is a fine looking woman!" The biker looks at him and doesn't say a word. His buddies are confused, because he is one bad biker, and would fight at the drop of a hat. The drunk leans on the table again and says, "I got it on with your grandma and she's good, the best I ever had!" The biker's buddies are starting to get really mad, but the biker still says nothing. The drunk leans on the table one more time and says, "I'll tell you something else, boy, your grandma liked it!" At t! his point the biker stands up, takes the drunk by the shoulders and says, Grandpa, you're drunk....... Go home!"

A man, while playing on the front nine of a complicated golf course, became confused as to where he was on the course. Looking around, he saw a lady playing ahead of him. He walked up to her, explained his confusion and asked her if she knew what hole he was playing. She replied, "I'm on the 7th hole, and you are a hole behind me, so you must be on the 6th hole." He thanked her and went back to his golf. On the back nine the same thing happened; and he approached her again with the same request. She said, "I'm on the 14th hole, you are a hole behind me, so you must be on the 13th hole." Once again he thanked her and returned to his play. He finished his round and went to the clubhouse where he saw the same lady sitting at the end of the bar. He asked the bartender if he knew the lady. The bartender said that she was a sales lady and played the course often. He approached her and said, "Let me buy you a drink in appreciation for your help. I understand that you are in the sales profession. I'm in sales, also. What do you sell?" She replied, "If I tell you, you'll laugh." "No, I won't." "Well, if you must know," she answered, "I work for Tampax." With that, he laughed so hard he almost lost his breath. She said, "See I knew you would laugh." "That's not what I'm laughing at," he replied. "I'm a salesman for Preparation H, so I'm still a hole behind you!"

Tony got it right, work next to him and learn, what I do with the shop, I tell them I want to learn how to take care of my equipment so I will be watching what you do and I might ask a question or two. I had to have my pump rebuilt, was going to do it but some reason just did not feel comfortable doing something I have never done. Shop did it, explained what he was doing and now I feel I can do it next time around. I do change oils ,filters, and all minor stuff and am getting more into the heavy stuff too. Now if only I could find a oil filter relocator for my engine to bring it around to the side or front. Kohler does not make one that I know of, anyone here know of any aftermarket one?

Happy Birthday :bday:Beth :cake:

It is not that no one wants to help you so much as your asking the same question many others asked over the years. Do two things, at the top click SEARCH, in the little window that opens type House washing and it will take you to tons of Q & A. Then do it again under House cleaning. Then if you still feel you have not found your answers come back here and hope someone has replied to your post. Not trying to discourage you but help you by using the SEARCH engine built into most BBS.

If or should I say when the time comes for us to move I don't plan to stay in this business. Have no idea what I would do but something less physical for sure. I'll drive the getaway car if one of you go inside and do the taking of $$$$$. LOL

What it is in my eyes is the ones that don't want to belong to CETA. And like John T. says to close for comfort, might end up a lawyer sends them a letter forcing them to change their name. I would seriously hope PWNA considers that too.

Ryan how about I spent all of Dec. there driving all over, done it 3 times so far and gone over hill and dale and still like it. The people are friendly, the country is lovely, all over there, not just GA, TN and a few other states. I will admit I hate being in traffic and mobs of people but did enjoy the coke building and The Underground. Now I don't drink coke or any soda pop so don't get on my for that, nor beer for that matter. Another way to see things is where you don't live always looks better. That old saying "the grass is always greener on the other side of the mountain". NOT so, just a different shade of green.

James what you say is true here in CA, cities are fighting the super stores, one city Inglewood even had the voters tell them to get lost and they went to court over it and lost too! Wal-Mart is not a competitive store, they are bullies and could care less who they hurt or put out of business. I bid a few but when they tell me what they pay I tell them stick with the guy if your happy, then as I leave I ask when did he clean last as it looks like he just used a hose annd washed it down. Smart ass remark but true. Eugene OR is nice, been there, Bend OR too but still want Marietta GA only because my best friend lives there and I have been there often, love the winters. In due time we will find a place to move to, I can wait a year or two but want to sell house now while market is still hot.

Reno/Northern Nevada is one area I have considered, Vegas forget about it, growing so fast there will be water rationing soon enough. Besides it is desert and HOT. OR and WA are two other states I am looking into also since wife won't consider GA. It is not just the cost of living we look at, crime, weather, population, stores, if no Wal-Mart all the better! How close to a major city, we don't want to live in one, but no more then an hours drive. Would love to live near the ocean again but like Jim says prices are insane. CO. is nice but to far inland for me.

Ryan make #2 go away and send me #5. All others you can have. Hey I thought you said you would be off line for awhile, to much fun here to shut down? Rod, very true, am having fun, I mean if you can't have fun while working why work? Oh yeah forget to earn money to support the wife! Alan I would see of Bozobush would carry back the loan oh his business, can't be that much involved!

Are you sure it goes from the gutter to the sewer? Seems strange as one goes directly into the waterways of the USA, lakes, streams etc. Sewers go into waste water treatment plants. I know more and more cities are requiring permits to drain pools and limit how many gallons per hour or day can be allowed out and it must go into the sewer, not the storm drains. I would suggest you call your local water department and inquire.

Matthew if you are leaving any chemicals on the ground it could be reason for a fine, when GA gets around to CWA enforcement. Most dumpster pads have a couple openings though the wall at low point, they could be totally blocked over years so check for them from the outside.

Matthew send an Email to me as you have yours closed here. Check with Beth on cost of Fury tool (surface cleaner) and other items you would need to run it.

Depends on your usage for one, cost of chemicals plus shipping and a kicker, most shipping/trucking companies DO NOT off load the drums, they move it to the end of truck and you have to remove it. Some might but it right on the ground but not inside your place. Try and find a local company to buy from or as I do with Zep I go to their warehouse and pick up my orders.

Read the whole MSDS sheet, all pages and it will tell you everything and more. Ok now that you have read it fast this first time go back and really read it, very slowly so you understand it all. This is not a funny matter, people have died not handling chemicals correctly or mixing wrong ones together. One other thing, be sure you have proper clothesing before using. Face mask, rubber gloves, long sleeve shirt and whatever else you might need.

Hey Jon WE TOLD YOU SO! Go buy a 8 x 12 tandem axle and be sure the gvw is 10,000 plus. Oh be sure your tow vehicle can tow that much also.

LOL they call that a WHAT again? They are a bit behind the times, we want things that do super work and are super light weight. Oh I get it, that is what is called a HEAVY PLAYER in the pressure washing field. Empire you would wrestle with that thing even if they did give one to you? Mr. Body Builder would be your new name.

Len send Beth an Email and explain what you want changed in your profile and she will do it for you. Beth if you're reading this I am guessing Len wants to be able to recieve Email from post and messages so could you turn those on for him please. Len that pond your referring to has some mighty BIG FISH in it, ever though of setting down in the middle of it and fishing for a few hours! How long are you going to be state side?

Hoax Warning I hate those hoax warnings, but this one is important! Send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list! If someone comes to your front door saying they are conducting a survey and asks you to take your clothes off, do not do it! This is a scam; they only want to see you naked. I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid and cheap now............

Vegas is not a vacation, it is a relief, it relieves you of any cash you still have on you. That said we were planning on going at the end of July but are rescheduling for now, to many things keep coming up. I want a real vacation, one like we used to take but one to a place I have never been, Hawaii where the wife is from. I told her if we go only one day would be with the family and all the rest they are not welcome around. Boat cruise but she is afraid of water, nuts! Oh yeah and from Hawaii yet!

Piece of cake, took more time to set up then pass the test. Got highest, no make that lowest rating, low is best. Low Med. High, thost that get High probably would fail and not be certified. Now as we all know EPA does not certify pressure washers, cities and counties do and your are not allowed to say you're EPA certified as some do, trouble down the road with me on board, good selling point when I mention EPA does not certify us. Anyway guys in due time your turn will come. Key word for them is all pressure washers regardless of what you wash. Now I do find that interesting too. My biggest worry and one I am pretty sure I am right about is the chems I use, they have copies of MSDS I gave them (required) and can just hear them saying it, NONE OF THIS ARE APPROVED. Problem is every environental product I have tried, every green product I have tired is only good enough to clean your toilet at home, does nothing on concrete.

ROFLMAO Everett thanks for the good laugh as I need it right now, in two hours I will be tested for EPA certification for the city of Riverside, CA. Now here is my take on age, it is simply a number, it does not make the person nor define how the person behaves, mentally or physically nor does it have anything to do with all that WIND that seems to blash from their backsides! Tony you say your close to my age, come now, you look like your more then 28 to me! Just what year where you born, I was born in Aug. 1941 so that makes me a young man. I will always be a young man at heart.

299 of them are inside of bars, don't you mean BEHIND BARS? And could that be why you have not posted any of them? Well buster come clean with us now. How in heck do you guys find time to take vacations anyway?
