The “vacuum island left” blew the breaker.
Homelite Electric Mover?
Well, it is that time of year again and my crappy lawn mower for the car washes is broken again. I believe that the mower got wet or something and rusted the engine? But, I am sick of gas mowers not working the next year so I purchased this Homelite electric mover. It is a lot smaller then my nice gas mower and fits in my small trunk of my car really well.
The mower is quieter and really seems to be powerful. At least as powerful as my crappy gas mower. It is a 20 inch 12 amp system. But the cord is going to take some time to get use to; it really was not as bad as I expected though.
My only problem is I am afraid I am becoming an environmentalist wacko. I also was discussing making a compost heap for the house so I did not have to bag all my grass. Then I started to research TerraPass and saw my friend Ed Begley, Jr. Well, maybe not TerrPass, but it did made me happier when I realized my car emits 26,079 lbs of CO2 per year and I use 1,333 gallons of gas.
Changer door problems
Today, I finally made the changer door not stick. It was fairly easy with a hammer.
Four way stop
This must be a hard intersection? This is the third time I have seen this happen in front of my car wash.
Weep Mizer, bad problem
My Weep Mizer was having problems, like not working. I was talking to Randy and he said I should send it in to Dixmor. I have called them before and they seem very professional and nice. They actually faxed me something that I asked for! How many companies do that? The good news is I have a WEEPER 2.81! (Last picture, actually I have no clue what version is cool.)
Well, the bad news is, the weeper looks a little messed up. Actually, this is what Greg predicted I did to my weeper.
What happens when a Tarantula and a Moth mate?
This is a pretty nasty moth and kind of looked like a tarantula. So I did a google search and found this site. Maybe a Tarantula Mimic Moth? Maybe endangered? The city has to purchase my car wash to preserve its habitat?
Coin acceptor problem
Broken coin acceptor? I swapped the coin acceptor out and it still did not work. Not really sure what the problem could be, it is getting power. I will try another coin acceptor tomorrow.
Ok, so the meter boxes should not be touched?
I just want to say all the functions worked in the bays before I opened them. I check them once a week and really never have problems. I just should not open the doors.
It all started with a coin jam. Someone really beat the crap out of it and the coin acceptor came unscrewed. I also replaced my broken in-line fuse.
I then tested the bay and the spot free did not work (purple and black wire). I did not know where the wire connected so I opened another meter door. Bad mistake. Now high pressure does not work on the second bay (second picture). Also, this red wire snapped off (third picture).
I believe my problem is the wires are corroded and seem very brittle. Also, the terminals seem rusted.
So I opened the third bay to fix the second bay. Again bad idea. You get the picture.
More septic tank fun
I dug out and tested the pit today. Seems to work fine.
Vending machine problem
Someone beat the screw out of the Max-Vend II support. The top of the brace has two screws holding it in and the bottom only has one. Why?
