try some of the west texas po dunk towns with one bar only that plays all genres of music and hates them all. lol. yep those were the days........ but........Austin has always ruled in my book. That town is dubbed the live music capitol of the world.

I do have some stuff on DVD from trips I made to Brazil with my church. We took a band and played at several places outside. If I could figure out how to load it I'd post some of that. vhs to dvd recorder and codec software for pc. Learn something new everyday using it. pretty cool new side hobby. saving all of the memories.

um, some of the places we have played are much better not even mentioned, much less video taped. But then again " those were the days " "any show for a buck". Thanks to the SXSW music conference in Austin every year, there were always cameras rolling. not to mention that was just one band of three I was in at the same time. Punk, Prog rock, and pop rock. plus college, plus job and clinicals. How the heck did I keep up with myself back then? I wouldn't do it again, but I wouldn't change a thing ( unless I could remember at least half of the night before). Ha.

far left on the slide. ........ good fun in 97 i am converting all the vhs to dvd. I got miles of this stuff.

Ditto bro !!!!

I like to fly and crash stuff.

Please send this to a soldier or their family. I am getting responses from soldiers and absolute strangers from all over. Don't send thanks to me, please, send thanks to a soldier. Imagine their life so far from home and family. Getting shot at, explosions, tracers coming right at them, landmines. PLease don't forget, why we are able to get so caught up in our lives, because they are fighting for our freedom to do so.

too funny.

http://www.uradeadbeat.com I was curious if there was a website for deadbeat customers.

awesome!!

Thank you, and I hope your (extended) son gets back real soon. Thanks for listening ( and hearing )

There are alot of really helpful folks on this site Adam with some great ideas, and big hearts for sharing knowledge of this industry. I'm sure we have at one time or another taken a "hit" from a deadbeat customer. And it certainly would help in the "venting" dept. Great article by the way. Did your deadbeat ever actually settle up with your Father?

Man, I love your site. Plus I think it's cool that you came to this site. Who are you? I know your site is not directly related to deadbeat "customers", but, it is an avenue for the contractors to use to make the deadbeat known. That is a plus, because I feel some contractors get a bad rap from customers that intentionally plan a negative outcome. Maybe a public persona "body check" would help other contractors avoid similar negative issues. Also, the postcard sending is a great idea. Post your name and get to know us here and we could help with suggestions or whatever to further info.

Hope everyone is doing fine. Been a while and just wanted to say "Hi".

It's awesome weather right now. 60's 70's perfect working weather. Perfect weather for just about anything. I wish it was like this all year round, I would never go inside. Just perfect.

Back atcha Beth. Doin GREAT, hope you are too. Rinse Rinse Rinse lol.

Jeff, get the glass stove top cleaner from Sears. just spooge it on and wipe it off. Looks like new. That simple. It's been a while bro, hope all is well. ac

Ahhhhh yeeees, now I remember why I stopped coming to this place.

Yep Doug, a little recording, writing for an EMI artist in ATL, some resto for decks and fences, and the dreaded IKE repairs...... still. Hope you're staying busy.... and warm lol. Great to see some familiar names on here. Lots of new ones as well. Have a great holiday.

Hey Gene, How ya doin man? Good I hope and staying busy.

Deck Restoration at a residential in East Windsor New Jersey. Email me for info. .... don't forget to send me lunch money if you land it.

If you use an xjet, you are drawing chems from the end of the wand and not through high pressure hose. Downstreaming draws chems after the pump at the hose connection and chems go through the high pressure hose. It is possible to reach 3 stories from the ground with an xjet with your setup and at least a 6 ft wand. Either of these methods work fine for shooting chems to high places. Or you can use what's called a laddersaver.com It's pretty cool and not too expensive. There are other methods with DS and simple tips others 's will mention I'm sure. But these work great for me and what I do. These equipment add-ons cost a little up front, but pay for themselves in time saved. example: 500 sq. ft. deck "strip" with pump sprayer 2 gal. = 15- 30 min to spray plus refill. Deckster 5 minutes to spray. For stripping with caustics and spraying stains and sealers, again, Deckster.

you can downstream or xjet your cleaning chems through your pw. I swear by the deckster for stripping and staining. But there are other sprayers out there that are just as good or maybe even better. You will wear down quick with a pump sprayer, unless you just have all kinds of extra time to allow for it. Welcome to the board. You might add your signature so we know who we are talking to.

To me terrorist are big game. Was just being light hearted ( or trying) Whoever wins the position has got more than I would ever want to deal with.
