I had a drain clog today.  If you look at the last picture you can see the dam that caused all the trouble.

I got to go to the doctor’s office today!  They are fast where I go, which is always the best quality in a doctors office!

One of my RO hoses sprung a leak today.  It actually was nice having a fine mist spray on you when it is 100 outside.

Check out this guys tag “1″.  I thought it was mildly amusing.  Actually I just needed a post for today and nothing happened?

Looks like someone got a recliner and gave me the wrapper for it.  I also got a lot of coax cable.  Basically I just threw away a lot of crap today.

Well I finished cutting the lawn today with my new Homelite lawn mower!  As you can tell I am very excited about my new purchase.

I got up really early to cut the lawn at the car wash, so I would not catch on fire and the mower broke.  I think I will purchase a new mower tomorrow.

It is a Bolens MTD electric lawn mower.

Always a bad wreck when all 4 wheels are not touching the ground.

I had to do a little sign repair today.  I guess my sign got messed up with some strong wind or someone running through my sign?

I ordered a couple LAI locks to check them out and ended up ordering the wrong kind.  I ordered the B622F 600 series high security cam locks that can fit the cylinder locks that I also ordered.  But with the high security locks you can not remove the key when the lock is unlocked,  it has to be in the locked position to remove the key.  This feature is really crappy because the Fragramatics vacuum has 3 locks on the door so I would need 3 keys to open the door, not cool.  So I am going to have to purchase some 500 series cam locks, but the 500 series can turn right and left where the high security can only do one or the other, which is good.  Wow what a pain.

This was a pretty bad accident that I saw on the way home today.

I received my Van Lock replacements today!  I decided to go with LAI because I really like how everything can be keyed alike.  Even though it is not really true in my case and I need 2 keys.

A random garbage day, who doesn’t have a tackle box and a ceiling fan in their car?

Greg came by my wash today and I talked him into showing me how to troubleshoot my rotary switch.  Greg explained that you should get 24 volts on the hp wax stack, which I was getting.  This means that my rotary switch was working fine.  So we tested from the switch to the terminal block in the meter box, which was all 24 volts.  So this means that the long run had a bad connection.  I found where I crimped them together and there was a problem.  Yeah, problem solved!

So the problem is the high pressure wax function does not work in one of the bays.  First I decided there was crap in the hp wax solenoid.  So I slowly starved the pump of water to pull the crap out of the solenoid.  That did not work so I removed the solenoid to clean it, which did not work.  So I decided the problem was with the needle valve which I just removed all of them, that did not help.  Then I pulled out my voltmeter and checked to see if I was getting voltage from the switch to the equipment room which I was not (I am getting somewhere!).  So now I need to figure out how to check a rotary switch.  I need to give Greg a call!
