normally wouldn't go in this direction but I could not pass it up. You guys would kill me if you knew the song I paid for it. Incredibly low!!!! It should hold me for a while and help me get restarted when I get to Texas.

24 ft davidson extension for me.

all of the above

......... the alignment is near............. I love my xjet

Robin Williams for President, I love my xjet

nice work and great vid

safety "x" is the same as catholic priest waving a hand motion for a blessing, except it is not Catholic. It keeps the bad joo joo away. Ask the cajuns. There is a proper term for it but it is hard for this Tx boy to pronounce.

my .02. I would not use hd 80 unless you can cut it down and not make it such a hot mix. It could very well fur up the finish, even with all those coats.Outdoor stains will take several days for the odor to dissapate sp?. You don't want that odor in the house with baby around. Plus there is an after odor with the neutralizer as well. Try finding some info on "Fornby" ??? products, they are geared for indoors I believe.

I share B-days w/ Rob Zombie, Kirstie Alley, and Tex Ritter.

I always carry 4 gold dollars and 2 TEXAS quaters. ALWAYS!!! I don't do Mondays (except for chem runs) I don't do the 13th, peroid, friday or not. I don't walk under ladders. I "safety" X my windshield when I see black cats. I safety X my girls car everyday before she leaves the house. I safety X airline flights that I am on. I always throw a dash of salt over my shoulder. Now that you know me ...... everybody ruuuuuun!

I found myself in a rather awkward situation yesterday in the non racial city of Atlanta. I am curious as to what some on this forum do for protection for themselves and their helpers. Know that I have been "Color blind" towards different nationalities all of my life. My disbelief ( or stupidity ) was my downfall yesterday. Total shock was my enemy yesterday and caused me to stumble. Now unfortunatley I must recognize the ever changing times and come to grips that I do not ever want to be caught unprepared again. Not just for me and my helper, moreso, I have a family. Just curious stun gun? baton? shotgun or pistol ( questionable in my world, but not totally out!!!) star trek utility belt RPG Jet Li Feel free to share your situations as well and how you handled it....... know that it could help me in the future. ..... and thanks to my new found Daylight I must come up with a new motto to go along with it...... something like Judas is everywhere and he carries a gun!!!!! or ............keep your enemies even closer!!!!!! or..... Trust no one , everyone is the enemy......... There really is no Utopia.......... my bad! I love my XJET........ ( just wish I had it hooked up at the time)

Shane's about 5 hours south Ken, but I bet if he had an xjet he'd love it!

Some people ARE jerks. It's unreal how they make it through life.

If there are thieves on my property, IMHO it is a given that they pose a significant threat to my life. As for evidence, simply look the pipe wrench and tire tools they are holding. Obviously taken from my tool box just before I shot them. :) AND FOR THE LAST ONE: I can only say BULLS**T. I will not EVER run from my property avoid a confrontation with thieves. I'm sorry, but that is liberal, soft spoked, anti-gun CRAP. I'm glad you chimed in Philip, I am so glad you make it easy for the layperson (me) as well as the educated ( others) to understand in so many words. Funny you should mention this because, I had a friend?? tell me something that relates. He said he always carries a "Throw down .22cal." just in case there was no proof of him being attacked. At first I thought..... that might be a little crooked....... but then I thought of my family, and what extremes I would go to to protect them. This whole thing has been a little effed up since then, re-evaluating and re-designing my Utopia with protective armour. Everyone, thanks for sharing, keep them coming, we're cathing up to the faith vs. bleach threads!!!!

One good way to longevity is to assume that everybody is armed, and unstable. Only the law-abiding obey gun laws. Amen Bro, that's how I'm feelin after the whole episode. Everyone's up to something. I still haven't told my other half about it yet. I don't want to put anymore worry on her with this event. We are only a few months away from moving to a better "country" , TEXAS. Where the guns are BIG and the mob puts a rattlesnake in your mailbox as a payment notification. But, i do agree with your statement. It shook me up a bit and wish I had one of those German Shepard's or at least better sense.

I'm sure you will learn several methods for stucco and dryvit cleaning on TGS. I have had great luck with reg. house wash formula ( maybe a bit more 12% than ususal).LOW PRESSURE. Stucco is easily damaged and costly to patch. If you don't have a regulator, you can adjust pressure with tips and distance. Let your chems do the work but don't over dwell with chems to point of discoloring. Re apply if needed. If there is rust then mix in a little tsp or krud kutter to loosen. Easy with the hot water as well. others will chime in with processes also....

you will probably need to insert new tips to match you pw out put. i don't think there is a 1.5 tip ( x2 to =3gpm) so you may have to go with the 2gpm tips. when it is matched to your machine you will get better results and might be able to move a little faster.

Yep!!! and I love my xjet, and it's a good thing ( now that I'm not shaking in my Laredo's) that I was not connected to PW or he would be a little less for wear!

I always thought that Judo would bail me out of a situation like this, but I was wrong. I froze!!!I'm good with not having a pistol for now, with all the new additional backup, one of them is bound to "smart " them a bit. But I do like the .380 and will take the proper measures when I feel a little more comfy and responsible with the decision. ( Just being honest).

That would be a weapon as well.

but I do see everyone's point that it is a good detourant.

I like the .380, but I really feel like I should take the classes first and get used to handling a pistol. and like I said, a pistol is not completely out of the question, because I know if that guy would have had a pistol I would not be writing this. But it certainly would be a good reasoning tool to have in situation like this. I really do try to avoid violence, but i saw someone who didn't care whether I live or died yesterday and it could have been over for me in a second. Personally I want to live. so I guess that settles it. Bigger truck with gun turrets.

It's probably the same here with a vehicle. It just simply caught me off gaurd and sucked the energy and reasoning out of me. one minute ... fine. next minute..... madman next minute... angry traffic mob next minute.... madman again next minute..... driving home thinking I could be dead a few minutes ago. In a way I am kind of mad at myself for not doing anything, but that might have been what got back on the freeway a few minutes later.

In a nutshell....... I simply don't have enough horsepower in my truck. Downtown ATL ( not mid-town or uptown ) , let's just say lesser districts at dusk rush hour is not the place to be stuck with 4 cylynders and an extra 1200 lbs (with tank empty) on trailer. The car behind me has no time to waste by being behind me on a feeder to interstate. So obviously he makes time to jump around and in front of me to do a burnout, stop in front of me, get out and started doing a Homer Simpson type dance with a novelty bat that you get on bat day at the field. Blocking the entire feeder, with cars skidding and slamming into the curbs, with me kinda "stuck" in the direction I was going, Horns blowing plus a thousand witnesses to watch me get slain, this proper southern gentleman realized he must have forgotten his medication. He runs to my window swinging away, but never made any contact with me or truck. So this guy decides to foot it the rest of the way I guess, which left me stuck behind his car that was in the opposite direction after the burnout. The people that witnessed this and approached about the car, also shared this sountern gentlemans same hospitality that he shared with me, somehow holding me responsible for the man actions. A few minutes later he came out from under the sloped(sp?) banks of the freeway and fired up that ride of his and decided to go into the direction the car was pointed in. Facing my truck!!!! I swear he trew a rod reving that 80's something cutless. Yes I was really scared and worried. People were driving around the site after a few minutes, once word traveled to the back of the crowd. so there were essentially cars trying to get around and I was stuck. So he decides to drive into the crowd. Never hit anyone, and took another street off of the feeder to get lost a little deeper downtown. Sorry... I said in a nutshell. bottom line..... my truck has been a good truck. Still is. 400 miles on a tank. Somthing is telling me to rethink the 8 cyl. route. No pride lost, very thankful actually. ... as for my helper, does anyone know how to get urine stains out of truck seats? lol. kidding. I am not ready to carry a pistol...... Don't misunderstand me though I have several forms of .12 gauge protection and normally I am not in "Downtown" mode. But I will not ever go out unprotected.

Thank Jon Fife, and John W. I don't have a record, and I am just pretty sure after this incident that I still am not ready for a gun for anything other than hunting. I now have a telescopic baton with hip attachment.( army - navy store) A couple of palm sized dyed pepper sprays with belt attachment. ( army -navy) A couple of 100,000 stunners w/ belt attachments on order. Hunting knife as back up in work truck. Extra tire irons in truck and trailer. Even several years of Judo in my earlier days didn't kick in. Kinda feels like I failed myself, but things could have been worse. Local pistol dealer has classes, shooting range approval/certification/ registration and sells guns ( a .380 cal) for about the cost of all the equipment above. This will be my last resort as I really want to make sure my anger dept. is in check. I don't WANT to shoot anyone, after all. Are there " Hazardous" rates for this industry?
