Which company has come closest to carrying on the better parts of the Steam Genie legacy?
How did the "Lowes job" story get started?
You are one of my favorite board participants.
Thanks,

I have to say that Bob Vawter has done an admirable job at keeping a number of units "on the road", with his rebuilding and renewing efforts. It's good that he's around. It does me no good to say it, but I still think that the Steam Genie Slide-in's and PTO systems were amongst the best creations of this industry. And If I found one in good condition, I would be tempted to snatch it up myself.
Matt King is also making a valiant effort to keep the spirit alive, with his inspired units on the same basic PTO design. I really hope he makes it a success that he is able to keep it going.
I think Jimmy Ladwig started the Lowes story, right after I left Steam Genie. He pondered that I must be selling carpet there, as a joke. Those who have butted heads with on the boards, like Willy, took it to extremes.
It used to bother me a tad, because it was meant to be demeaning. After a time, I didn't mind it. Now, I honestly think its funny, and would not hesitate to play along. Hey, I'm a Jimmie Johnson fan, and do prefer Lowes to HD. It's all in good fun.
Thanks Lee, for your parting comment. I've always liked your posts too. It's too bad what happened over at ICS. Way out of control.
