I believe I broke the color code today! The top 2 wrapped wires are for each bay.
Coleman solenoid problem
Who would guess that if you leave a pumping unit unused (for 2 1/2 years) a solenoid might get clogged up. Actually, I only had one clogged solenoid which had a clump of dried up chemical clogging the spring.
Hot wiring my Coleman equipment
I hot wired my Coleman Super Saver to test everything out today.
I figured out that one of my (125Vac 5A) fuses for bay 4 was broken.
New GV800 security computer setup
My Dad’s computer was totally screwed up: it stinks (see first picture with the dogs) and is rusted and has corrosion on the motherboard. So everything needed to go into the garbage can.
I selected a MSI P6NGM motherboard which has a built in Nvidia card. This motherboard worked great and is really a neat little motherboard for the GeoVision GV800 card. We will see how it works at the carwash. But, I assume that this motherboard is not waterproof. Yes, I reused the rusty case… it adds character.
Albertville Express Wash: Tommy / AVW stainless setup
They got all their chemical and hydraulic lines run in stainless. Super rad!
They also have the largest wall attached light I have seen (1000 watts). My favorate feature of the wash is the shower. Just think: when someone opens a car wash next door you can move into the wash and live.
Cleaning tanks all day?
I cleaned out the dilution tank and the chemical tanks today, which was a lot of fun. I wish you got to do this more often.
Bambi is ALIVE!
I know that this is a bad picture but when is the last time that you saw a baby deer in your front yard in the middle of the day? This just reminds me why you should cut down all your trees in your yard. Why you say? They attract deer! I have proof!
What takes 2 1/2 years to move?
Well, I finally moved my new / used self serve equipment from my house that I purchased over 2 and a half years ago. Now I need to hook the stuff up.
New Wal-Mart and RaceWay?
Wal-Mart down the street had their grand opening today: maybe this will help business? Something that probably will help business is the gas price at less then $3.00….. What a deal…. It must be time for an election?
