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.
Another attempted break-in
Here are a couple angles from my new Medeco problem. I am pleased that the lock did not open. But now I need to open it. The last picture is what the lock is supposed to look like.
The person also broke into the vacuum. They just broke one lock and messed up the plastic in front of the lcd. I was able to bend the door back into shape.
I also need to figure out where to get a lock like this for my Fragramatics vacuum.
Yes, four problems in one day!
Error message was “CK TRANSPORT VF”. Bill jammed in the bill acceptor (picture looking down through the stacker). Yes, this and the following three problems are from the same day. I thought the rule was only one bad thing a day?
I actually talked to Carl Armstrong today
He said that he dumped the garbage in my dumpster and whatever I do I can not stop him. Actually, he said that he had no idea how the garbage got there and said he had garbage pickup at all his rental homes.
Maybe the garbage can is around the back of the house?
But his story makes some sense because he said he lived in Wisconsin and I found mail with his name on it and an address in Wisconsin.
Tax time
It was tax time for me today. I learned a lot from doing my taxes, stuff adds up. Also, it takes a long time to do your taxes when you leave it all to the night before (FYI).
I spent $4,943.16 in water, $794.20 in gas, $1,556.25 in dumpster fees, $7,642.29 in power, also $3,905 in insurance. This is just the two washes I own (Hueytown and Wylam).
Hueytown stats: 4.9% in Vending, 26.2% in Vacuums, and 68.9% bay revenue.
Wylam stats: 1.8% in Vending, 27.8% in Vacuums, and 70.4% bay revenue.
Alex Huggins dumped garbage in my dumpster?
Well, one good thing is that Alex and Teresa Huggins did not have very much garbage. You can figure out a lot from garbage… they like takeout wings and in 48 hours they may not have gas and water! So what do they do then? More takeout wings. So I guess I need to send out another letter to my new friends Alex and Teresa. But maybe someone stole there garbage and dumped it for them?
Well, as much fun as this has been, I hope it is done. I locked the dumpster today. I know some of you might be disappointed.
Carl Armstrong dumped garbage in my dumpster?
I realize I need to lock the dumpster, but the dumpster guys threw away my lock and then someone else scraped the metal bar. I do not understand why I have a problem. There is a sign that clearly says "not for disposal of public garbage". Well, maybe Carl got his garbage stolen like my friend Monica Ravizee ?

I think the ES Car Wash, Inc. looks more professional.
Hamilton and Rowe Changer problems
Three car washes with changer problems. The Hamilton's had bad bills and the Rowe "CK L COIN DETCTR" just reset.
Rowe changer problem
My change said "CK L COIN DETCTR" I did then reset and everything was okay.
Monica Ravizee dumped garbage in my dumpster?
I decided to go through the garbage today that was dumped. I found that Monica Ravizee dumps at least 8 bags of garbage or someone stole her garbage and dumped them in my dumpster. Monica appanently has a sick kid. There was an address so I took a drive to my friends house.
The location has three satellites and 2 1/2 mail boxes. They also have a garbage can. I need to compose a message to this person.
