We worked Mon and Tues this week. 3 days next week so far. Where slowing down now since the winter season is soon to set in. Have some commercial work schedule in Dec along with a couple of accounts we do all thru out the year every month. But this is the down time.. And it feels good to take it easy and just relax for the Thanksgiving holiday. Happy Thanksgiving to all and enjoy.

On of my customers asked me if I could help out with her fund Raiser
John T posted a question in The Club House
I was contacted by meal awhile back from a customer of mine who's close friend an NYPD Sgt. Who was I think was in his early 30's died last year an automobile accident. She emailed me see if I can donate something preferably Powerwashing service since I do both hers and her parents house. It's the least I could do. If I had the means I would give back more. Sad story.. Her email: Hi John, * Just wanted to let you know, your donation was a success and the lucky winner will be contacting you.* Attached you will find, the flyer I used to present the gift.* Your company name was also listed on every table as well as on a big display board that thanked all of the donors.* I can not thank you enough for your generosity.* I, as well as his mother and the TJ for Kids*Memorial Fund,*really appreciate it.* After all costs were paid, we were able to raise approximately $9000 for the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island.* What a wonderful was to start off the holiday season! * Sincerely, Jackie Hook * In a message dated 10/4/2011 11:23:10 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, clncounty@aol.com writes: Hi Jackie, Sure thing. We can donate a free Vinyl sided house Powerwashing up to 2500 sq' or $300 towards any other Powerwashing they may want that we do. You can refer to my website Clean County Powerwashing - Serving Long Island - NY - NJ - PA - CT and if you need anymore info call my business phone @ 631-544-4971 and ask for Kathy. Also can you tell us more about that Sgt. I use to be NYPD in the late 80's. -

John T replied to John T's question in The Club House
You have to love the IPad- if I don't double check what I wrote it looks like every other Word is changed or missing..lol. I 'm not even going to try and fix the above. Kathy volunteered in a soup kitchen and she does the breast awareness walk-a-thons etc, sponsored a child in Africa thru World Vision. She does alot more then I ever did.. She actually boycotted tuna years ago because unnecessary slaughtering of dolphins... She sent money every month for quite a few years to St. Judes.. and on and on I mostly partied away any extra dinero.. But that above Sgt Story I'm going to have to find it. It shows how fast a good guy who was doing well in life and blink.....Gone. I should start a thread about about the wild and maybe some regretful things I did. Nothing to do with family but alot to do with... Defiance. How I ever became involved in law Enforcement as did alot of my friends no one would have ever figured that one out back when:) -
Who's buying or selling equipment for years end closeout?
John T posted a question in The Club House
I'm going thru my books now to see if I should buy some equipment before the year is out or wait to the beginning of next year. I'm looking to adding another trailer,Hot water Powerwasher and possibly a Sirocco reclaiming set-up. Have to see how my books add up. Last year I had to sell alot to eliminate debt and become more cost efficient. How about you? Are you buying or selling and what are you looking to buy or sell? -

A Hybrid trailer Is more like a custom trailer.. Kind of like this NEW 7X20 ENCLOSED MOTORCYCLE TRAILER LAWN MOWER UTILITY | eBay The one I lost out on was only a few yrs old with a black box 8' x 5' heigh which was critical. In that box I could have locked up my Swabby in and the outside part of the trailer I could have put put the Powerwashers, the vacuum set up etc. The box was black and the trailer was in very good condition. With the Box only being a total of 6'from the ground this trailer would have been perfect for the garages I do... And I found this trailer a day after it sold on Craigs list for... $1,500. A day late and a dollar short.. Working on another deal right now...as I scower the country -

John T replied to Jim Gamble's question in The Club House
Common Tony give Jim a break. You just can't stand that Jim stepped up and took a position and you just won't do it with the *****.. You just can't commit.. I wonder if Scott is happy about you talking about Some contract he might have got? You go from slamming Jim to yelping about Scotts contract. I like ya Tony but I'd be willing to bet ya that Most people don't want there contract info posted on the net.. You never know who's lurking and who knows what. And give Jim a break already.. You know you and Jim would be pals if you saw each other more often. I heard you two clicked at first sight:) -

Powerwashers/PWNA get Ready- WHITE HOUSE in sight.
John T posted a topic in PWNA News, Events, and Information
I'm still working in it in the background. I'm taking the PWNA and the Powerwashers who are not org affiliated and never will be and I'm still mixing it up to get to the end line.. Here is Linda and Andy accepting in there Grand Fathers behalf getting inducted in the German/American Hall of fame with Sigfried & Roy. http://www.thetruebaberuth.com/ I'm going to release soon how in 1942 we had 20,000 people Jam pack Madison Square Garden as Hitler sympathizers when Roosevelt new the Jews were getting gassed. The Wyman institute release a story about 50 Americans signed up to denounce Hitler led by a very powerful Woman back then named Dorothy Thompson. She also got Babe Ruth to endorse this back then and he was by far the biggest name on that list according to the Wyman institute. Babe Ruth took a stand and his life was in danger for doing so... Amazing stuff.. And I have the Paperwork from the Wyman institute to prove this... It's in the presidential file. -

John T posted a question in The Club House
This is my message. Just look at these items I placed here.. We should be one or at least support each other.. The Babe did that for baseball so they can stick together... we should listen to the message the ICON left behind when he died so young at 53. We should....stick together. These pics are for you guys. -

Hey Mike I'm not sure yet on what reclaiming set-up I'm gonna buy. Shoot me a picture on your gas reclaim set-up. Thanks on the Retirement. The young guys on my job are the powers now and I have a much better deal then they do and they can bargain out what I have so it's time to go.. I get along with them great but Money can screw friendships..and I'm so done anyway. -

Do you believe in God or is Evolution really the answer??
John T posted a question in The Club House
Do you believe in God and if so where has God been with so much bad things happening worldwide? Do you believe in science and are you analytical causing you to believe in the Evolution theory? Since most of us know each other some thru these bb's tell us what you believe in and why. I'll start because I am in that discussion now with Linda Ruths family. They believe that things that happened are because of spiritual reasons. She believes we were suppose to meet and her spiritual advisor point blank said she was going to meet a person who can see what's in there hearts.-- That person is apparently me. Since this whole thing happened alot of things in my mind are not adding up. My daughter winning not only multiple national championships in different forms of dance but one of her dances that was already a national winner also is picked for overall best dance of the whole competition and it's called Orphanage.... Babe Ruth lived for years in an orphanage. My wife's father died last week and Linda and Andy sent such a beautiful set of flowers to his wake and it said on them to Jack that he now is playing baseball with the big guy in the Sky #3. Then a few days later my wife and I go back to his house to collect his important paperwork and while my wife is opening a locked file in that Room at the bottom draw of this file Kathy gets startled... Looking right up at her is a 1974 gold coin of babe Ruth.. She calls me in and I just can't believe it. Since then a few more old pics of Ruth has appeared in different parts of his house. Extraordinary pictures. Kathy and her family and Linda feel that Babe Ruth is reaching out thru heaven... Can that be? At the PWNA Convention Charlie Arnold opens up with a prayer and I was never a fan for that and yet he Made the room so calm. He even mentioned names including Kathy's father Jack for prayers to go out for him. Somehow I thought because of what Charlie Did I was so at ease talking up on that stage... Is there God in this somehow? My mind has spun..but I'm still trying to figure out what the heck is going on when there is no rhyme or reason. So do you believe in God and do you think he or she is intervening here somehow? The thing also is I find myself so at ease to let people in to see this.... So I asked what is this? Most importantly do you believe or not in God and why? -

Then you realized they were "Coyote Ugly" where you woke up and had to chew your own arm off to get out of there:) Hey you ever do this?? Your shaving while looking into the mirror..and then the thought comes thru you"what the heck happened to Me" when you take a good look at yourself..lol. Then you run into someone from High School days and they say "wow you look the exact same as you did in H/S) where I love saying "Cool I look like chits then too" Nothings changed:)
