I will jump in here to add some info to what has already been talked about. I have been selling this credit card system made by the InOne company for years; it was called Arrow, then it changed to Iris, and now it is called Nayax. Nayax is an Israeli company that is the parent company as I...

The “drought” situation has been coming for years and has finally caused a paradigm shift in the actions of state and city governments to issue “edicts” on how people should use water more efficiently. Farmers have been converting their irrigation systems to highly efficient low volume...

The pioneers wanted and needed a steady source of water, so they first began to drill wells to tap the underground sources fed by the rivers and the mountain snows each year. This allowed pioneers to develop the land to its best use and also supply their cities and towns with a steady water...

It is not just in California, but the whole western U.S. has had a lack of rainfall and snow for a few years. Most of California would be classified as a desert with less than 10-inches of average rainfall in normal years except for the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the north-western corner of...

The weather has cooled down here in California and some rains have begun to fall so the fires are fading away. Fires will come again next year to "clean up the forest and brush lands" and the crisis will return instead of people accepting fires as the most natural thing that is good for the...

The latest online information from the State Fire Headquarters says that all the major fires are contained but still may be burning at a low intensity. The weather is cooling and there are rain showers in the mountains, but everything is still very dry. Some of my friends here in town have...

MEP001---You quite right in your statement about pine trees. The “Rough” fire, which is 50 miles from me, is almost contained, but is burning in some very remote and steep mountains. It continues to burn slowly in the leaves, pine needles, and grass (called duff) that has dried and...

California Fire Update A reporter for a newspaper in Fresno stumbled across a news article in their archives from 60 years ago in 1955. The article was reporting on a fire in the Sierras that was almost in the same location as the “Rough” fire now burning and previously posted. It was in...

Good post, Randy; everything you say has or is happening every day. I am just amazed that operators leave the keys to all the locks in the wash including the vendor in the equipment room. I have replaced many sets of locks where the keys were stolen with new locks and keys for the high...

I just looked at a web site that shows all the fires in the western U.S.; there are more fires in Idaho than anywhere else by quite a bit. It happens every year in the mountainous areas of the western states and is part of Nature's renewal. With the mind-set of the media types, it seems we...

On a personal note my grandson was working at the Hume Lake Christian Camp facility which includes not only the Camp buildings, but many privately owned homes and cabins in a mountain community. There is a man-made lake there left over from a sawmill that was in operation years ago. All of...

To All, The California drought and forest fires have been in the news media for many months now, so this post is about the fire only. I will leave my thoughts on the drought for another post. The reporters for the news media have a natural inclination to exaggerate everything. Since I...

Waxman, You are one lucky guy to have a friend who is good at this kind of repair. I have tried to use the "commercial guys" to repair the boards and they want $90-$100 minimum plus parts no matter what is wrong. So we always put in new boards rather than repair them. Uncle Sam :)

O.K. Waxman. Keep me informed. Don't know what a "power correlator" is, but willing to learn. Uncle Sam :confused:

Wax, Are you making any progress in getting the vendor to work?? Uncle Sam :confused:

Wax, There is usually a circuit breaker on the 24 vac side of the transformer that may need to be reset. Circuit breakers can be very squirrelly sometimes. If you still do not get any 24 vac output at the transformer and you have 120 vac power coming in, the transformer can be bad. After...

Wax, Been out of the country for 6 days and my cell phone didn't work like it was supposed to. Verizon #@$%!( The 24 VAC breaker on the transformer is what I think you are referring to. We have only seen this situation 1 or 2 times and it usually either the bill validator or the changer...

Car Wash Show App I would encourage all of you who are going to be at The Car Wash Show this week to download the ICA app to your phone or Ipad so you have access to information about exhibitors and Booth numbers. There is a wealth of information about the Show, exhibitors, and Las Vegas...

Randy, Uncle Sam and Mrs Sam will be there. Look forward to seeing everybody. Uncle Sam :D

The Car Wash Show will be starting in a little over a week and ShurVend will be exhibiting in Booth #130 this year. We will be showing our 32-selection high security VendPro-iG4B vending machine with the added security of horizontal bars for those wash sites that have a "difficult"...
