JBS JB-55 Foaming Brush PC (PC-155)

IMG_6937.JPGIMG_6938.JPG

I will need to do a review on this JBS soap after I figure out how-to dilute it: it is 300-1.  I had to purchase my JBS from Kleen-Rite because they never called me.  Does JBS cut a better deal then KR?  At the SECWA meeting JBS said they would discount the product.

Installing Rowe Kit #27040201 High Security Bill Acceptor Inlet – Step 2

Step 2 is to install the plate and bolt it in.  Note the tape on the center picture it is so the bolts do not fallout when you put the nut on.

I spotted a pack of Nerds at the book store!

I was looking for a magazine when one of the Nerds starts arguing with a 8 year old Nerd about some defense move or something. The little Nerd then asked the older Nerd if he was sure?  All I know is when you carry a briefcase you probably knows all about Pokemon/DD or whatever Nerds play these days. I am going to do some manly things like Blogging to people I never meet……

Installing Rowe Kit #27040201 High Security Bill Acceptor Inlet

I am actually installing a High Security bill acceptor on a BC-1400 not a BC-200 this time.

Their are 6 bolts that need to be removed and that is all that I did today.  It was a lot harder than I would have thought.

Crappy day

I opened my equipment room door and one of my shelves busted; crap was all over the floor.  I also got 3 bags of garbage today.

Vacuum motors

IMG_6921.JPGIMG_6922.JPG

I have way too many different vacuum motors.  I snapped this apart trying to pull the spring out.  The right picture shows what it is supposed to look like.

IMG_6913.JPGIMG_6928.JPG

These are my other weird types I found today.  The motor on the right has a spring you have to press down to insert the brushes.  4 out of my 4 motors were different today (the other was a lamb motor).

Long vac nozzle / small vac nozzle?

IMG_6925.JPGIMG_6927.JPG

It seems that the long vac nozzles break way too easily.  I purchased them at the ICA show.  Seems that the small vac nozzles last a lot longer.

Hamilton changer problem

I believe I figured out the changer problem.  The motor is really starting to sound bad and this has to be causing the random problems.

Expand Wylam Update

The Wylam Oaks Residential Development is not messing around building homes. These pictures are bad but they already have a roof on one and the other is all framed out. They apparently are going to be a family orientated development because they already have the circus tent up.

I mixed up some powder tire cleaner today….. Fun!

PORN from 1958?

I found a Rogue November 1958 magazine that looked like a dog tried to eat.  I guess it is a Playboy like magazine?

I went to the Alabama State Fair for lunch?

IMG_6851.JPGIMG_6856.JPGIMG_6860.JPG

I went to the Alabama State Fair just to eat lunch.  It was expensive so maybe Ruth’s Chris next year instead.

IMG_6853.JPGIMG_6854.JPGIMG_6855.JPG

We ate so much fried food it was ridiculous: fried Twinkie (far left), fried Oreos (right), funnel cake and other stuff.

I did not want to risk my life on any carnie rides, but these insane people on the “Fire Ball” ride did (far left).  The middle picture shows all the safety precautions that the rides have.  But my favorite was the “Fun Slide” which sure looks like a ……. “Fun Slide”!

One of my sister’s kids had a birthday again

Last birthday party (left) new birthday party (right).  Now my sister has a Nikon D300 and I am not using my crappy Nokia 6133 phone anymore.

IMG_6847.JPGIMG_6836.JPGIMG_6835.JPG

Everyone seemed to have fun!  There was squirrel hunting (we do live in Alabama), jet flying and deal making.

But it does look like Chuck-e-Cheese ditched their Rowe changers for American Changers?

Rowe C-10RL problem

IMG_6775.JPGIMG_6782.JPGIMG_6784.JPG

I had a coin jam in my Rowe C-10RL that I was testing (error message “Er 8″).

 Pictures of the coin hopper motors and coin chute.

IMG_6790.JPGIMG_6794.JPGIMG_6795.JPG

I still got the “Er 8″ error after clearing the coin jam so the instructions say it could be paper or something blocking the led or sensor.  The left side looked fine so I attached everthing and reset the changer and got “Er 9″ which means the same thing only the right side.  Everything looks clean and fine but I guess I will be replacing a sensor because the led works fine.

Pretty in Pink?

I like the basket in the front of the scooter.  Greg’s bike looks about the same but he has a blue theme.
