    Didn't realize I have been away for so long.

    I am pretty much out of the car wash business. (Down to one). Anyway, I am opening up a BBQ restaurant in KC. All you old time washers, shoot me an e-mail for a dry run, ie free food. :) Mike

    Anyone here on Skype?

    We could have some nice chats, and even take laptops to video problems.

    Vac money stolen in the KC area.

    This was the second time. They have the keys to the vaults, I added a security bar and Masterlocks. Well the must have the keys to the Masterlocks. I think combination locks might prevent this.

    Testing the air up there, raising prices.

    First of all timing is everything in my mind. My sewer rates went up 2000%. Relax, went from $42 a month unlimited water to a $600-$800 compared to last years usage. Then a nice little snow, get the salty dogs out. Go from $1.50-$2.00 for basically the same time. They see the 2000% sign up...

    Refund issues.

    With money getting tighter and tighter, customers with little problems are asking for more and more money back. A lady "said" she spent $15 (30 minutes) in the bay washing. Complained PS didn't work and tri-foam had a hole in the hose. PS worked fine for me and the tri-foam did have a hole...

    Been away but still thinking about u guys.

    My business is up 20% from last year. Nice snows and salt. I think people are staying home more, driving less. Got into the shaved ice business. Easy building permits for the owner of the shaved ice company, $250-$300 a month if you have the unused parking lot. Way to cheap after seeing the...

    Political message of the day.

    Don't get divorced in a Democrat State. You all know about Kaleigh. Instead of the judge making her parents responsible. I get to be. :mad: Yep, a lifetime of child support on a child that isn't mine.

    Car Wash party in KC.

    Bill and Pat C. had a nice little get together at Pat's home. Pat and his wife were very nice to welcome people into the house. Many car wash owners, traded stories and a lot of tips. Not the just the 12 oz. tips either. ;) I met some really nice people. Mike, Bruce and I traded good info...

    Carpet Shampooer problems.

    First, sorry I have been away so long. Still haven't gotten my legal issues settled. 2 years, 2 months, 18 days but who is counting. LOL My shampooer looks like the liquid is running in reverse of the flow out of the pump. Would a blocked line cause this? I unplug the line going out and it...

    Nexus help!

    For some reason my brain doesn't want to work this AM. My Nexus is short sizing. All proxes seem to be working. I know it is a simple solution, just don't know what it is.:mad: Mad at myself.

    Rash of damage in my area, but If I was a thief, this is a no, no!

    There has been a rash of entire ACW's, vaults with all the brick broken out and vaults gone. I don't think I should name the cities. But, the last one I would not want to screw with. Is a Missouri State HP.

    Seasonal Pricing.

    I'm really considering this. Our gas is going out the roof top and water is running down the drain with floor heat and weeps. I have taken measures to drastically cut down on these expenses, but it is still expensive. This could be a plus if no one asks. You could leave your prices alone in...
