Well it is really not funny. The property got auctioned off by soldalabama.com for around $30,000. With 20% going to the auction house. Pretty sad but with so many carwashes it would really be stupid reopening it.
I HATE AT&T and I am NOT Kidding!
Okay I already made my proclamation about my hatred for AT&T. Now I should give you a reason I guess? It is very short and easy to fix.
I have a commercial phone line because that is really the only way (I guess) I can get credit cards cleared. So I pay AT&T $63.94 for their great “commercial” service. It is so much better then my home service…….. Wait I got rid of them, I forgot. So I have had no problem with my phone I get over charged for “commercial” services like any “good” company would do.
BUT WHY AT&T DO YOU HAVE TO SELL MY ADDRESS TO EVERYONE ON THIS EARTH!!!! I haven’t got any mail at my carwash for 5 year now I get mail all the time as soon as I got a phone line. Oh and it is all just crap and they all know I am a business. I wonder how that happened? Weird. My monthly payment should actually be cheaper then a “home” line because my address is apparently worth money. I don’t see a credit on my bill for receiving bulk / junk mail.
So what I think I should do is post my address so everyone can enter the address into their bulk / sucker address list!
Here it is. You can mail anything that slips under the door: ES Car Wash, 271 Forest Road, Hueytown, AL 35023
If you want to send good stuff like cash and gifts try my po box at: Eric Wilson, PO Box 48, Dolomite, AL 35061
Dumping Lots of Bags
Someone mistakened my carwash for the dump and decided to dump 5-6 bags of household crap. I couldn’t find any mail or anything which makes me sad. I quit after I saw what is in the second picture. There was also lots of wadded up toilet paper in the bag…….. I really didn’t want to see pieces of Playguy’s May 2000 issue “18 year-old Butt-Muffin Spreads it for Dough”!
Klean-Wall VS Mister Plumber ($1 Store Crap) – Update
Well after the head to head death match between Klean-Wall and Mister Plumber, I decided to purchase…….. Klean-Wall! Why you ask? Because it has a “corrosive” sticker on it. It looks cooooool! Oh and a warning label. I forgot how much it costs but it was around $80 and I got it delivered free from a local guy! Thanks Mike.
Dixmor Weep Mizer (DX1000)
My Dixmor Weep Mizer sensor broke last year and I am getting around to fixing it today! Or at least installing the sensor today. Notice on the second picture the little screw. This is how you adjust the temp. What it is not made in China!
When removing the old sensor I found another sensor! So I installed 1 and have 2 broken ones!
Not Cool!
I think you can figure this one out? It might be getting close to that time when I have to replace all my low pressure hose! YES!
Klean-Wall VS Mister Plumber ($1 Store Crap)
I got a sample of Klean-Wall free from his website at apchemical.com and I purchased some Mister Plumber from some Dollar Store down the street. The Fake Drano contains: water, sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide and surfactants. The Klean-Wall contains: magic.
Both sections look equally as bad. The directions on the Klean-Wall said 3-5 minutes so I let both chemicals stay on 5 minutes.
The Klean-Wall after 5 minutes did a lot better job (first picture). But the Fake Drano did a pretty good job.
I reapplied the Fake Drano and let it sit for 30 minutes. It turned out a lot better but not as good as the Klean-Wall. But for the price of the Fake Drano maybe you should try Fake Drano over Klean-Wall?
Jim Coleman Fragrance Machine With No Fragrance
Looking like this was the problem with the fragrance vacuum. Not really sure what happened to it?
Break In Attempt?
Not really sure if someone tried to break in to get their Little Tree, but the machine was out of order and I lost TONS of vending sales!
Speaking of vending sales Greg and I were talking about vending machines breaking. He also has an old Dilling & Harris Max-Vend II Vendor. It really doesn’t make any sense to purchase an expensive vendor since the vendor costs around $3,500 to only make $100 gross a month? Then you have to stock the machine and if your lucky you make $50 net. You could do that with a couple crappy drop vendors.
So the plan is to sell the Maxy while it still works then install drop vendor! Take the money and purchase a sign or something that could actually make you some money!
IDX X10 Has 9 Lives?
I really don’t understand why this IDX coin acceptor hasn’t died yet? I used to have 4 other IDX X10 coin acceptors and I think they all broke 4 years ago. What makes this X10 so special? Why mister X10 do you still work when all your brethren are long dead! Why can one X10 last so long? Is it the Magic Duct Tape?
