Foam brush solenoid problem

IMG_0275.JPGIMG_0279.JPG

When you turn off the foam brush and the chemical still comes out, that is bad.  It also says there is crap in the solenoid valve.

You want to check the plunger, usually their will be crap making it be stuck open.  So you have to take the valve apart.

This is about as bad as I have seen.  But usually the crap is smaller.

Sometimes the rubber plunger thing (last picture) can be messed up to allow a constant stream.

I spotted a real UFO!

I was listening to my podcast of Coast to Coast AM and spotted this UFO.  Can you believe it?  A real UFO!  Okay, so you doubt the picture?  I will tell you the truth:  there is no way I could have identified this UFO because it is just too far away.  So that is why it is an Unidentified Flying Object!

Went to the doctor again

I found this tow chain today, which ironically I thought I had on my back all day.  I guess that is the reason I went to the doctor?

Backup compressor problems

I had to purchase a new backup compressor because my main compressor then my first backup compressor all died.  My new backup compressor came with a flat tire, not really sure how to pump it up though.

Dell Inspiron 9300 power button problem

I got to fix my mother’s laptop!  I had to take off the plastic covering over the power button to get this thing to start.  I guess the button is messed up.  I am planning to replace the plastic piece first then maybe I will try the circuit board if there is still a problem.

Now this is a good article.  If more then a ton of fireworks will not blow up a car wash nothing will.

Close-Up Freshening Xperience whiteing study

IMG_0204.JPGIMG_0206.JPG

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you smeared Close-Up toothpaste all over your dirty FRP board? I found this toothpaste on the ground and I already brushed my teeth for the week so……

This is what it looked like after I applied the “Whitening Cinnamon Blast” to my FRP board.

IMG_0323.JPGIMG_0326.JPGIMG_0330.JPG

I waited 2 days because I wanted super whitening action, not really sure what the white crap comming off the red Close-Up is (first picture).  (Actually, I was sick and forgot to clean it up.)  But I just rinsed the Close-Up off and presto! spotty white FRP!  Worked really well; maybe if you let the Close-Up stay on only 1 day?  The conclusion of this study is if you leave Close-Up on your teeth or anything else it should whiten anything up!

Thanks, Teachers for potty training

(Second picture)  At least he went to the restroom outside?  Sorry for the blurry picture I was laughing.  (This is across the street from my Wylam car wash.)

Also about the “Thanks, Teachers!!” sign, conflict of interest?  First Educators Credit Union paid for the sign.

Mitsubishi DX-TL900U finally had a problem

I hate this Mitsubishi DVR but it was sure easy to fix.  Just ran the “reconstruction” function then everything was okay.  At least something was easy to fix.

Look what stupid graffiti I got today

tiggers-797042[1].jpgIMG_0233.JPG

This must have just been spray painted because it was very easy it get off the brick.  I used some “JASCO premium paint and epoxy remover” to remove this stupid “Tigger’s pie” sign?

IMG_0232.JPGIMG_0235.JPGIMG_0236.JPG

I just rubbed on the JASCO then scrubbed it clean.  It worked great!

I have a Mossy Oak in my car?

IMG_0201.JPGIMG_0217.JPG

I found some Mossy Oak floor mats for my car, what ever Mossy Oak is?

IMG_0219.JPGIMG_0220.JPG

I also was a car mechanic today.  I changed out this complicated dome light.

Rowe changer problem

Error message was “CK TRANSPORT VF”.  Another bill jam.

I saw the Virgin Mary on Highway 65!

IMG_0167.JPGIMG_0173.JPG

I was driving down Highway 65 and saw a truck with the Virgin Mary painted on the back.  This painting has a Highway 65 sign also next to the Virgin Mary.  I have never seen this before.

By the way Tamaulipas is in Mexico bordering Texas.

Broken Air Compressor

IMG_0162.JPGIMG_0163.JPGIMG_0182.JPG

This is the worse thing that could happen besides the power being out.  The air compressor decided to quit and the magic red button did not fix the problem.

IMG_0184.JPGIMG_0177.JPG

I replaced the motor around January 1, 2006 so I guess it had a good run?  The belt also looks like it needs to be replaced. 

But I wanted to connect the emergency air compressor to the larger tank and I am not really sure how.  I removed the air gauge and I can fill it from there?  I need some hose to try out my theory.  Maybe tomorrow.

Pit cleaning fun
