It is kind of like someone is trying to clean up the neighborhood? They removed the burnt down house across the street from my car wash. Now there is just garbage from people dumping. So a good improvement!
Stop sign
You are supposed to stop at the stop sign on the road. The key is stay on the “road” and he was going the wrong way on a one way street (but that is another lesson).
Neon transformers should not kill you?
Around a week ago I took down some neon tubes and transformers from my Dad’s car wash he sold (they are ripping it down to build a CVS). I decided to test the transformers because my Dad said they didn’t work. I also borrowed a transformer that worked from Greg to make sure the tubes were actually good.
So I take the transformers out of their boxes and observed the connections but I am not really sure how to hook up the neon. I searched around the interwebs and still could not figure it out. The problem I am having is with the ground (green wire) and what it is connected to?
The first step was to find a tube that worked using Greg working transformer. I found a tube which lit up just fine.
Next step: I tried 2 unknown transformers and got the same results, sparky fire looking things and the neon was not lit fully. I then (this was a total mistake) grabbed both ends of the transformer (so the electricy could run all the way through my body) and shocked myself, then the neon was fully lit and there were no more sparks. I did have it grounded on the plug though, the same as with the known working transformer. So are my 2 transformers bad or the ground bad? Not really sure.
Have you ever seen a “Power Wagon”?
Looks like a truck only says “POWER WAGON”.
“Black Ice” aka cheap cologne from the 1980?
Someone wiser then me had thrown this away unopened. I have never smelt it before so I hung it up in my car. This smells like some cheap cologne from the 1980. WOW! But maybe people will buy it?
You can say that again!
It says “jazzy”, either her name or describing her rims? (It is a yellow Ford Mustang if you can not tell.)
Make hot water in the air?
I really like the idea of strapping things to the ceiling or making a porch or shelf in your equipment room. At one of my Dad’s washes this is how his boiler is mounted.
Mist N Sip
X-Treme bottle for dorks? Do people really use products like this? But if it is X-treme maybe I should try it?
Have you ever run out of chemicals?
I picked the 2 best “foam brush chemicals” and took 25 fl oz of each of the diluted chemical and added 5 gallons of water. The winners were 3) Dis™h Detergent Original Scent (dish cleaner 50 ounces) and 4) Perfect 10 Black Currant Bodywash (bodywash for your body 25 ounces). I lost the pictures for number 4 but number 3 was the best the dish detergent.
Have you ever run out of chemicals?
Disclaimer: I have always wondered what other chemicals you could use for foam brush in a bind and I had some time to kill. Actually, my chemical guy sold me hand soap as foam brush chemical and it was my favorite. Now I use Erie Brush chemicals and really like their foam brush and wax.
Have you ever run out of chemicals and only had $1? What would be the best chemical to purchase from the Dollar Store? I am on assignment to root out the winner!
1) “Dial Basics HypoAllergenic” (bar soap, 3 bars) It is dematologist tested maybe even tested on animals? I cut the bars up with a knife.
2) “Classic Sun Clean & Fresh” (all purpose powder detergent 1.5 pounds)
3) “Dis’h Detergent Original Scent” (dish cleaner 50 ounces)
4) “Perfect 10 Black Currant Bodywash” (bodywash for your body 25 ounces)
5) “White Rain Conditioner Energizing Citrus” (hair conditioner 19.95 ounces)
I just dumped the products in then added 5 gallons of hot water and let sit for 24 hours.
