I am not saying my wash is any better or worse…. This self serve is behind a Exxon gas station: 936 Rainbow Dr, Gadsden, AL 35901
2x ROWE BC-200 I hate to say it…. But there is a 92.94% change that 1 or both do not work. 🙂 One has a pushed in acceptor also…. so 99.992% right? 🙂 Which means no stacker I believe.
This Turtle Wax sign is pretty cool.
When should you upgade your security cameras?
Well…. When they look like this….  Or when they have no wires connected to the wall?  Maybe?  LOL 🙂
Does everyone except for me purchase nice drill bits? Well…. These feel like nice drill bits! :)
Now I just got these: Walter Surface Technologies 01E618 29-Piece Round Shank Jobber’s Length SST+ Drill Bit Set, Orange Like today…. a couple hours ago.  🙂  So these might all break and be total crap…. but I have not touched a drill bit that felt this nice before.  The cutting edges are also very sharp all the way up the bit…. to the touch.  Unlike Dewalt, etc. brands, big box bits.  Also the price is $2.37 a bit…. you probably pay more for crappy bits?  These have to be better…. I would think?  LOL 🙂  I think they claim to last x50 longer than the other stuff I purchased in the past…. so 50 holes I guess?!  LOL 🙂  The bar is really low for me…. I just want the job at hand done.  Maybe the next also?  Using 1 drill bit total!
How do I run air tools from my truck over DC? CHEAP! LOL :)
Has anyone wanted to run some air tools from their truck? Â What was your setup?
These are some tools I was to try and use:
Ingersoll Rand 1/4″ Air Die Grinder 3107GÂ 3 CFM
Ingersoll Rand 326G 3-Inch Edge Series Cut-off Air Tool  6 CFM
Ingersoll Rand 170G 3/8-Inch Edge Series Drive Air Ratchet  3 CFM
I was thinking about trying a small DC air compressor…. around 3 CFM @ 90 PSI?  The Puma PD-1021 runs off 12v DC and I would not need to run an inverter (I believe I would need a 2000 watt also and I wanted to try and get a Xantrex inverter).
Then if I get an inverter the question is…. (Inverter I believe is $350-500?)
1) Should I purchase an air compressor? Or just purchase corded tools for the inverter?
2) If I plan on purchasing an inverter why not repurchase everything cordless! LOL 🙂
This idea seems like a bad idea? Â Or an expensive plan.
I Hate to COMPLAIN about EVERYTHING…. BUT! LOL :)
Is it just me…. Or does the clean up guy union require payment before the last day of the month?  I also seem to get a reminder a day before also.  (I believe this was my fault for paying before the last day over the years though?)
Also why is wanting to pay on the 1st of the month bad? Â The last guy hated this idea also. Â What is interesting to me is they want the money before the end of the month…. but do not want the money weekly?
Unitec Wash Select II Integration with KWIK TRIP (OPTION)…. WHAT?!
If only the car wash industry was more like the computer industry or like the vending industry…. Kwik Trip (I assume is a gas station chain?  Which also brokered a deal with Unitec?) would not be the only fully integrated add on product.  (At least when there is a ribbon cable attaching to a daughter board I would call that integrating!  LOL 🙂 )
What I will never understand is why someone does not HIRE SOMEONE to make an entry system for them?  If you need multiple units (more than one 🙂 ) you can hire a professional company that does this for a living (all the time).  I am not just talking smack either…. I talked to a couple.  One I would trust more than Unitec (no offense).  It makes you wonder if any car wash “tech” manufacturer actually produces anything?
But like any product…. (look at an American entry system…. sure I went there.  🙂 )  You need an engineer or technical designer which knows how the industry works, how customers work and what electronics to use.  Just to submit all the needed components to a sourcing company.  Which I believe do not exist…..  This is why I realize no one in the car wash industry selling car wash “tech” products have ever worked at a car wash.  LOL 🙂  But they all have great sales people!  (I do believe older tech products are different…. again I could discuss this topic indefinitely I believe.  🙂 )
I could also debate for hours what is wrong with car wash entry units…. also what is good. Â Having Windows or Linux on your entry unit does not make anything better…. only quicker out the door. Â Sure it is better for multiple function devices like your phone / computer. Â Not static embedded functions…. or functions that should be embedded.
When I Purchase a Quality Product I MUST Brag about it! LOL :)
So my Wife purchases my Kids Mini Boden clothing ALL THE TIME!  Seriously…. Why?  Wal-Mart sells clothing from England/China?  🙂  So why can’t I purchase Boden clothing also?  (Boden is for “male” like adults…. they have a naming issue I believe.)  Well I believe there might be a reason you should not purchase Boden clothing….. Just read the label on some > $70 shorts.  LOL 🙂
This is no joke: Â “When there’s a fraction too much friction colour can rub off onto lighter fabrics. Â So Please be careful with pale handbags, avoid white sofas and never wear this garment to bed.”
The problem here is…. I carry a pale handbag, own a white sofa, my car also has all white interior and I love wearing shorts to bed!  WTF  LOL 🙂  Seriously the color RUBS OFF!  I sent them back…. But I did keep some stupid looking swimming shorts (I believe all swimming short should look stupid. 🙂 ).  Which BTW had no warning?  Luck for me…. because I like to also scoot on my butt all over my house on our white carpet!  LOL 🙂
A REMINDER…. NO ONE CAN FOLLOW DIRECTIONS! :)
While I was putting on socks…. I just had a reminder that no one seems to read signs and no one can follow “complex” directions! LOL 🙂  Seriously…. these socks should have a warranty on them!  Or braille or something right?
On a side note…. who would make left and right socks anyway?  Plus why would I want to show off that I have Nike socks? LOL 🙂  The scary part is the same guy that does not follow directions will probably be wearing his socks “correctly”!  🙂  I will be checking next time.  JK  🙂  Maybe I should check their shoes though?  JK!  🙂
OFFICIAL SOCK REVIEW!  Dri-Fit socks are the best!  Because when you put the socks on…. (wait for it)….. they are DRY!  Seriously what is the difference…. really beside the stupid Nike symbol?  I re-read the bs info on amazon and sure the socks fit…. maybe my socks are misaligned somehow!  LOL 🙂  I can not follow directions either!  Or will not.  🙂  INFO
Abstract pictures to make you think about your possessions.
Well I had this item in my basement for months…. which I purchased and it was closed tight.  The person I purchased it from lose a very important item.  The person also said this was working!  LOL 🙂  WOW I knew this person has no clue but…. WOW.  LOL 🙂  Took less time than finding the correct tool for the job.
Unitec E-Systems E-4000 Carwash Entry System
I never heard of this unit…. it has a born on date of 2001. Cash only…. pretty much all the boards look reworked for the Wash Select 2?
Okay…. I have a new theory why people like Unitec units. The amounts for the washes are on displays and not stickers? This is the reason Unitec entry units are cool right?  This might appear modern maybe?  The displays or the slanted door? But the slanted door is a very poor design flaw I believe? Also if you have a new Unitec Wash Select II note the door changes and the cup. Pretty sure the WS2 even have different designs also…. which indicate there is an issue?  Maybe?  🙂
Also the last door I am not really sure it is a Wash Select II door which they claim it is. Â But I would assume it is a WS2 door…. it is also different.
