VOTE TIME!! Have Paul put his newest picture where the one showing him doing dishes is or leave that one as it is? Hmm, wonder how he would look with pig tails LOL. When I had long hair it was not that long, must have taken you several years to get to that point but I do see you too where/are a hippie! Best times of my life back then, nifty 50s.

Tony are you on DSL or cable? I ran the test and got 653.93 and I am on DSL, thought DSL was suppose to be faster then that.

Paul B. Please make this the year you get your hair cut!! I mean just looking at you in that picture is getting more and more bothersome!

Just wishing all of you and your families a Happy New Year.

Takes more will power then I have to keep one so I stopped making them years ago. If I can stay healthy and do well then I have accomplished something in mid-life! Jon

http://www.zorstec.net/copperfield.htm Go to the above and enjoy. Then if you think you know how keep it to yourself!

Hugh might is suggest you call a few guys doing all that and see if you can work a week with each, no pay but you gain experience and can better decide which line you want to get into. To try and do all things is fine but you will not be able to do 100% quality in all those fields, pick 2 or 3 at most and learn all you can on them, then do those only. Why you will find guys who do fleets only, flat work only, hoods only etc. Specialize!

Rfitz, is there a divider between the van and driver/passenger compartment? If not I would suggest making one and seal it so you don't get any wiff of chemicals or worst. Jon

Hey guys how much should we BILL One Call for mentioning LUBE those wheels? One Call, best way I found to do that is with one of those old long nose oil cans where you can point it in and push the bottom a couple times. Does not matter that they are still wet, just a couple good squirts is all it takes.

Who you calling SMARTY PANTS Buddy? Scott because he got it right or me for being such a nice guy! See what happens when you make friends all over the world here, they end up calling you NAMES;) Jon

All they want is 135° heat, not very much to sanitize and remove germs, gum and what not. I would go to the same high heat as you use for concrete 185°+ if metal. If plastic that is another story.

One Call, You mention you need to wash and SANITIZE, exactly what does the customer want with the sanitizing? Also not sure about your area but here in the West there are companies that do nothing but shopping carts, they clean, oil the wheels, replace as needed etc. Not sure what they charge but have seen them in action, large box truck, 5 guys, water containment mat, own water and they do a whole market in about 2 to 3 hours. As far as pricing goes the guys where right on and you do need a helper or two. One moves them up to be washed and removes all paper from them, you wash and the other puts them back against the store wall.

Scott there are 6 cards and when you go though the whole thing one is removed. not changed, just missing the one you pick.

Merry Christmas all, now that the clock has pasted Midnight here on he West Coast it is truly Christmas. May your day bring Joy and Happiness, to one and all. Jon & Remy

Don't know if this is true, but... WHAT TO DO IF YOU GET A TRAFFIC TICKET This system has been tried and it works in every state. If you get a speeding ticket or went through a red light or whatever the case may be, and you're going to get points on your license. This is a method to ensure that you DO NOT get the points. When you Get your fine, send in a check to pay for it. If the fine is $79.00 make the check out for $82.00 or some small amount over the fine. The system will then have to send you back a check for the difference, however here is the trick. DO NOT CASH THE REFUND CHECK! Throw it away! Points are not assessed to your license until all financial transactions are complete. If you do not cash the check, then the transactions are NOT complete. The system has received its money and is satisfied and will no longer bother you. This information comes from an unmentionable computer company that sets up the standard databases used by every state. --------------------- Send this to everyone you know. You never know when they may need a break.

Was a wild child, hot rodding hell bent on beating anything that could outrun a 430 Lincoln engine in a 1960 Ford 1/2 ton short bed with 4 speed, Isky cam, Hooker headers, nice big slicks on rear wheels and more. No cop in Santa Monica, West Los Angeles or the Valley had the guts to pull me over, they all knew who I was and that my Dad was a big shot who knew all the right people! hey back then BIG business had advantages, or should I say family of Big business owners had special privleges:) The only time I got my butt whipped was by my dad when again back in the 50s it was the thing to name your car and the name I picked was after a movie, Rebel Without a Cause. The "Rebel" was painted on the 1/4 panel. Man did my Dad blow a gasket, after that word was put out that I was fair game to pull over and did I get tickets, I could not figure it out but I was a teenage rebel anyway. Hmm, have I changed yet? Yes I had to go to Juvi court with my Mom and yes I did loose my license for a short time. YES I snuck out and drove anyway, hey my bedroom had it's own door to the outside world. Those were the days my friends, those were the days.

ROFLMAO

Alan CYA, every time you call make a written note of time and date and answer. If ever your called in you show that paper to the Judge and I bet he dismisses it. Also get names of whom you speak with if live person.

Ok come Christmas Day those that know the trick tell those that don't so they all have a very Merry Christmas gift.

So which of you guys is going to test it and report back if it really works? If it does not just Email us your cell number,(prison, not phone) and we will all send you get out of jail free cards!

Ron P. some little town called Simi Valley, a lot of cops and fireman live there! Cleveland what were you driving? Alan you off the hook, wife contacted friends she worked with at the Parole Dept. It was another with same last name. Jon

So that is why I could not get to you front door last night Alan? Just what did YOU DO this TIME? I have not done that, not sure it works, that was sent to me and I just sort of passed it on. WOuld be a neat trick it it really works. Used to be going to traffice court and school wiped out the ticket and there was no fine, just school cost, now it cost the fulll amount, court cost and schooling. No I have not had a ticket in many a year but I am a hard driver. Luck I guess.

Yes, in Santa Monica they would march them down Lincoln Blvd. to the big lot where it was held. Would sit at the top of the hill and watch them go by. And the best part was trying to sneak in!! yeah I got caught and then when my dad found out my butt was smacked raw! Worth it too! Did anyone mention those Howdy Doody Hat with that little spinning thing on top. Or hats that had ear covers tucked inside so you could pull them out in winter and cover your freezing ears. Sheesh you guys are OLD, me heck I am still young, I refuse to grow up. Call me a recycled teenager.

Did my paper route on Sunday pulling a little red wagon. Yes Beth I remember those skates well. Air Raid sirens going off at noon the last Friday of every month! Bus drivers who really called out the street name as they stopped. Amos and Andy radio show. Aba daba candy.

Ryan your saying it was a gas engine? Is the insurance totaling the vehicle or repairing it? Talk with the dealer about a super trade off with the insurance money towards that diesel. I always buy diesel, the cost is more but in the long run it pays off not in lower fuel cost as that is not the case here, cost the same or more then regular fuel but in weight towed, performance and all around maintance.
