Not that much happened today so far except for the 4 1/2 hour flight to Vegas. We did eat at a buffet for dinner which is always good.

I believe this is a repo guys truck.  1) He has a hitch for towing cars.  2) His back window says ”If You Don’t Pay.  It Don’t Stay.”

I got my confirmation for my ICA admission today.  I am excited about going to Vegas and I love the direct flight from Birmingham.  I will be hopefully live blogging, twittering and maybe even taking some video if I get any suggestions (email me anytime).

Have you ever wondered how to transport a stove?  I actually did not know a stove could fit into a truck of a car.  Well actually, I was supprised how much of the stove did not fit in the trunk.

My tax were finished today!  Usually my accountant is slow but after she hired someone else she is getting faster.  I need my taxes done because I need to get in on some of this 4.5% interest rate.  WOW!

Nothing exciting today at the car wash but my sister sent in a story and a photo that I thought was interesting.

The first picture demonstrates why you need a safety lock for your windows in your car.  Anderson (my nephew) rolled down his window while the triple foam was going off in a carwash, getting triple foam all over himself.

The second picture is Wilson (another nephew) with a new hair cut.  My sister let him get a Mohawk and he loves it.  He looks super cool.

Lengthened all the hoses to the Water Wizard unit today.  We still have the rail heat, air line and high pressure hoses to go.  Then I need to connect the soft water, city water, ro water, check the electrical, make sure the phone line works (which it does not), and get service for accepting credit cards.  I also need the final building inspection.  Also, in general, just see if the equipment still works after being transported and stored for such a long time.

As for the phone line I called yesterday about the line and they said it worked.  So I plugged a phone into the phone box attached to the building and I did not get a dial tone.  I assume this should work?  But the person I was talking to could not answer this technical question.  I did learn this though: when calling the phone company, “you should know your phone number”.  I guess everyone gives me a hard time?

The electrician finished today which is great.   But someone pulled  out one of the wires on my Weep Mizer.  Hardly worth complaining about but the only other thing I did today was spray down bays and dig out 2 pits.

Are you going to Vegas?  I’m going, so if you want to go to Bette Midler for me let me know.  Maybe we can make a trade for the ticket?  Then I can use the money for something better like alcohol.  Seriously, if you are going to the ICA show let me know.

I received some low and high pressure hoses and some fittings today along with some vending supplies.

I actually did not do anything today because I ran into a bollard and thought my leg was going to fall off.

More mud for today.  I guess I need to dig it out again.

I had a sporadic problem with my 90 degree swivel today so I just replaced it.

I had a pretty good clog today and I also got to clean up some bays like normal.

I installed the unistrut to mount the 1″ high pressure line to run to the equipment room.

I got to shovel out 3 bays and then hand dig another.  Now that is what I call fun. 

If a carwash fairy ever granted me one carwash wish, my wish would be nice bay pits.  Pits where you do not have to dig them out every day.  Wow that would be nice.
