I tend to agree with you.... great post!

Ken, I cant pass a buck up LOL! If I were to put it in a local store, is thier distributerships available, private labeling and so forth. If so IM PH Number... I will try to call this week

Ken... I think it is a great concept.... I used the cost analysis as a base example and I surely appreciate the cost of doing business. With my hospital responsibilities and PWS Inc., the last thing I need it another headache of selling a product line. It seems like the best way to sell something like this is on QVC or HSN. Even if one netted $3 a unit , on ten thousand units equals 30 Grand profit. Regarding your PWNA comment, As a past PWNA member, I can honestly say that I feel that members have no power, say or influence on the PWNA BOD... Just my perception though, many members disagree with me - there are 8 of them that I can think of!

I will try to get these pictures for you.

LMAO...... Jim, that is both the funniest and most accurate statement I think I have ever seen posted on these BBS. Does anyones name come to your mind? LOL Long live the Pressures Washers of North America...

Well theres an additional 55 votes of support

We will give her/him/it 31 electoral votes from the Great State Of NY

Happy Birthday and thanks for the advice today!! PS... Be nice to that poor lil ole lady and the airbags next door...

Here are the NY Laws governing use of force and deadly force: Sec. 35.15 Justification; use of physical force in defense of a person. 1. A person may, subject to the provisions of subdivision two, use physical force upon another person when and to the extent he reasonably believes such to be necessary to defend himself or a third person from what he reasonably believes to be the use or imminent use of unlawful physical force by such other person, unless: (a) The latter`s conduct was provoked by the actor himself with intent to cause physical injury to another person; or (b) The actor was the initial aggressor; except that in such case his use of physical force is nevertheless justifiable if he has withdrawn from the encounter and effectively communicated such withdrawal to such other person but the latter persists in continuing the incident by the use or threatened imminent use of unlawful physical force; or © The physical force involved is the product of a combat by agreement not specifically authorized by law. 2. A person may not use deadly physical force upon another person under circumstances specified in subdivision one unless: (a) He reasonably believes that such other person is using or about to use deadly physical force. Even in such case, however, the actor may not use deadly physical force if he knows that he can with complete safety as to himself and others avoid the necessity of so doing by retreating; except that he is under no duty to retreat if he is: (i) in his dwelling and not the initial aggressor; or (ii) a police officer or peace officer or a person assisting a police officer or a peace officer at the latter`s direction, acting pursuant to section 35.30; or (b) He reasonably believes that such other person is committing or attempting to commit a kidnapping, forcible rape, forcible sodomy or robbery; or © He reasonably believes that such other person is committing or attempting to commit a burglary, and the circumstances are such that the use of deadly physical force is authorized by subdivision three of section 35.20. Sec. 35.20 Justification; use of physical force in defense of premises and in defense of a person in the course of burglary. 1. Any person may use physical force upon another person when he reasonably believes such to be necessary to prevent or terminate what he reasonably believes to be the commission or attempted commission by such other person of a crime involving damage to premises. He may use any degree of physical force, other than deadly physical force, which he reasonably believes to be necessary for such purpose, and he may use deadly physical force if he reasonably believes such to be necessary to prevent or terminate the commission or attempted commission of arson. 2. A person in possession or control of any premises, or a person licensed or privileged to be thereon or therein, may use physical force upon another person when he reasonably believes such to be necessary to prevent or terminate what he reasonably believes to be the commission or attempted commission by such other person of a criminal trespass upon such premises. He may use any degree of physical force, other than deadly physical force, which he reasonably believes to be necessary for such purpose, and he may use deadly physical force in order to prevent or terminate the commission or attempted commission of arson, as prescribed in subdivision one, or in the course of a burglary or attempted burglary, as prescribed in subdivision three. 3. A person in possession or control of, or licensed or privileged to be in, a dwelling or an occupied building, who reasonably believes that another person is committing or attempting to commit a burglary of such dwelling or building, may use deadly physical force upon such other person when he reasonably believes such to be necessary to prevent or terminate the commission or attempted commission of such burglary. 4. As used in this section, the following terms have the following meanings: (a) The terms "premises," "building" and "dwelling" have the meanings prescribed in section 140.00; (b) Persons "licensed or privileged" to be in buildings or upon other premises include, but are not limited to, police officers or peace officers acting in the performance of their duties. Sec. 35.25 Justification; use of physical force to prevent or terminate larceny or criminal mischief. A person may use physical force, other than deadly physical force, upon another person when and to the extent that he reasonably believes such to be necessary to prevent or terminate what he reasonably believes to be the commission or attempted commission by such other person of larceny or of criminal mischief with respect to property other than premises.

Thought that would touch a nerve...

Fair enough.... We do differ. My life would need to be in grave danger for me to take a life.... I still assert that should anyone in any state in this country shoot someone for strealing a pipe wrench out of a pressure washing trailer would experience a name change... Their new name would be "defendent". The laws do not support use of deadly force for petit larceny. We all have the right to make the decision when to pull and fire.... It would be a tragedy to make the wrong call and end up in prison over a 22.00 part. It would be tragic for the victim and for the family of both sides. I respect you position and your right to act as you deem necessary. Here is the Georgia Law Statues that govern the use of deadly force 16-3-23 A person is justified in threatening or using force against another when and to the extent that he or she reasonably believes that such threat or force is necessary to prevent or terminate such other's unlawful entry into or attack upon a habitation; however, such person is justified in the use of force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm only if: (1) The entry is made or attempted in a violent and tumultuous manner and he or she reasonably believes that the entry is attempted or made for the purpose of assaulting or offering personal violence to any person dwelling or being therein and that such force is necessary to prevent the assault or offer of personal violence; (2) That force is used against another person who is not a member of the family or household and who unlawfully and forcibly enters or has unlawfully and forcibly entered the residence and the person using such force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry occurred; or (3) The person using such force reasonably believes that the entry is made or attempted for the purpose of committing a felony therein and that such force is necessary to prevent the commission of the felony. 16-3-24. (a) A person is justified in threatening or using force against another when and to the extent that he reasonably believes that such threat or force is necessary to prevent or terminate such other's trespass on or other tortious or criminal interference with real property other than a habitation or personal property: (1) Lawfully in his possession; (2) Lawfully in the possession of a member of his immediate family; or (3) Belonging to a person whose property he has a legal duty to protect. (b) The use of force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm to prevent trespass on or other tortious or criminal interference with real property other than a habitation or personal property is not justified unless the person using such force reasonably believes that it is necessary to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.

LOL - DON...need not worry.... LOL that was just to see who was reading the post

Let me know what you want for the truck

Kory, I have applied for a non-resident permit from down there... It will be recognized in PA and other stated when we travel

Actually, I have no problem with the laws of this state... Quite honestly, I have no desire to shoot someone stealing my pressure washing wand... It is a material item that can be replaced. If loosing a K-7 unloader would drive me to a point of killing a man, than I would seriously question my integrity, self worth and respect for human life. Maybe he stole it to sell to feed his newborn, maybe he stole it to buy drugs... who knows... But I have watched several dozen people die over the past several years, some tragically, some painfully and some accidently and have dealth with many more that have taken a wrong turn or have just gotten dealt a shi*&*y hand.... either way, I cant see shooting someone for stealing. There are many people, I would even suggest perhaps some on these BBS that have fallen on hard times, made poor choices and even stupid decisions... It doesnt mean they should be shot. One thing I have seen is that it takes only a moment of poor luck..... and then mine, yours or anyone reading this life can rapidly unravel... LOL As for Hillary Clinton, I didn't vote for her, I cant say that I even Liked her, but I will say this. She has done more for upstate NY than the last 5 people in her position.... She earned a vote for 2006.

In NY, they would procecute you if you shot someone stealing your equipment unless you can prove and there is evidence that your live was in grave danger and you had no safe means of egress, As they taught us in pistol packin school at the sherriff's department, The only two circumstanses that you can use deadly force is that if the above senario is present or some one is using deadly force against a bystander.... Ie: man stabbing girlfriend. It is my understanding that many self defense altercation go before a grand jury in NY. John Tornebene may have more insight,

I think you took my statement incorrectly... I meant that I dont walk around planning to pull it.... I would have no problem leveling the playing field should I need to.

I had one.... "had" being the key word...

BTW, nice trailer set up, are you bringing it to Tom's RT?

Hey John.... Is your box truck up for sale?

This year when we had the really bad floods, we did interior property cleaning and cellar cleaning. We also purchased two steele eagle vacuum surface cleaners. now we are using the equipment to clean business / shop floors. We are doing the inside of an Audi / VW Dealership in three weeks... Big $$$$

I have 2 vacuums with pump out and they both work unbelievably well. One is a duel head NIKRO vacuum that we installed a sump pump in with auto pump out and the other is the one that is sold with vacuboom system. I had to modify the filter system a little, other than that, I have had no problems. I put a sump pump in the NIKRO that that will pump out solids to either 1/2 or 3/4 inch (cant remember) in diameter. With bulkhead fitting, electrical grommet, antireflux valve and plumbing - whole thing was under 200.00

Here Here Scott... Well said. Critical Mass Group of 3

LOL... do me a favor if we ever duel and count your pumps out loud... Isnt that like bringing a knife to a gunfight?
