  1. Trailer Axles.....Torsion vs. Spring

    Torsion is pretty strong. My brother has a 30 foot gooseneck trailor with two torsion axles on it. He pulls a 12000 pound backhoe and his bobcat on it with no problem. Before that he had one with springs on it, but it was a triple axle to do the same job! I know he likes the way it pulls and handles a lot better too. Just my two cents. Robert
  2. Ron, Last year I was applying Cuprinol semi-solid to a 2nd floor deck. I had put down a couple of canvas drop cloths underneath. The stain soaked thru the drop cloth and got on the concrete patio below. I noticed it in time and used some spirits to clean it up, and then rinsed it off. It turned out looking good, but I think that I was lucky! I now use some of them cheap blue tarps under the dropcloths to make sure nothing gets thru. Just my 2 cents! Robert
  3. companionship

    "The following is an actual ad from The Atlanta Journal: SINGLE BLACK FEMALE seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a very good looking girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping and fishing trips, cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. Rub me the right way and watch me respond. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Kiss me and I'm yours. Call (404) 875-6420 and ask for Daisy. Over 15,000 men found themselves talking to the Atlanta Humane Society about an 8-week old black Labrador retriever." Oh' Well, it was worth a try!!!!! Robert
  4. Houses with vinyl siding is my primary residential pressure washing. Will add on decks and patios a lot of the time. The strangest thing would either be the radiator on a farm tractor, or the metal awning over windows on a ladies house. Nothing else was to be washed, just the awnings. I told her for another $25 dollars over my min charge I would wash her entire house, but she declined the offer! Robert :yoda:
  5. Sayings of Zen

    These are oldies but goodies! 1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone. 2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire. 3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it. 4. *** is like air. It's not important unless you aren't getting any. 5. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted. 6. No one is listening until you fart. 7. Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else. 8. Never test the depth of the water with both feet. 9. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments, 10. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them you're a mile away and you have their shoes. 11. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. 12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day. 13. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it. 14. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. 15. Some days you are the bug; some days you are a windshield. 16. Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time. 17. Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. 18. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket. 19. A closed mouth gathers no foot. 20. Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together. 21. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works. 22. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving. 23. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. 24. Never miss a good chance to shut up. 25. We are born naked, wet, and hungry, and get slapped on our ass...then things get worse. 26. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night. 27. There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." 28. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. 29. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday...around age 11. 30. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them. THE MOST WASTED DAY OF ALL IS ONE IN WHICH WE HAVE NOT LAUGHED!!!! If you think about some of these, there is a lot of truth in them. Robert
  6. Rob, Where can you get a steel pushbroom? Columbia Mo is where I'm located. Any ideas? Thanks, Robert
  7. Pet Urine Smell

    This house has a concrete floor in it, so the only wood I have to worry about is the trim. I'm thinking that the smell could be in the drywall itself, but I don't know if the kilz-it will seal in the odor or not. Thanks for the replys, Robert
  8. Never Lie to Your Mother

    Brian Hester invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the meal, Brian's mother couldn't help but keep noticing how beautiful Brian's roommate, Stephanie, is. Mrs. Hester had long been supicious of a relationship between Brian and his roommate, Stephanie, and this had only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two react, Mrs. Hester started to wonder if there was more between Brian and his roommate, Stephanie, than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Brian volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you that Stephanie and I are just roommates." About a week later, Stephanie came to Brian saying, Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you? Brian said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll send her an e-mail just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: Dear Mother, I'm not saying that you"did" take the gravy ladle from the house, I'm not saying that you "did not" take the gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner. Love, Bryan. Several days later, Brian received a letter from his mother that read: Dear Son, I'm not saying that you "do" sleep with Stephanie, and I'm not saying that you "do not" sleep with Stephanie. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom.;)
