Bane vs tornado.

[JS41035]

It’s been a year. So I can post finally about my favorite part of the tornado from last year. My sisters new house is almost done. Dads place is fixed. But finally. Finally there are no more Banes.

If there were ever something that I thought WOULD survive a tornado, it would have been one of those old "iron lungs"

There was a time they were a significant force in our industry, but based mostly on the charisma, will, and story telling capability of Bill Bane.

Surely not performance.

They sold a system. And made a bulletproof product. Only butler really did the same. . But I think bane was probably the only one that sold the machine and chems and education.

They were close to a franchise, without the fees.

Back in their heyday, people who followed the system built nice businesses, but lacked the ability to outproduce people with higher production systems.

They were a lot easier to fix and simpler to maintain than the pioneer truck mounts of the day, as I know you well know Justin.

Had Butler had a "Bane Type" of complete package, not just technical, but also the marketing, they'd have been even more of a force than they already are.

Or, conversely, had Bane had a higher performing, but simple truck mount.

Bill was unique, and I'm grateful that in his retirement we came to a level of friendship between us before he passed.

The Bane of our industry.

A TM with PD blower powered by an Electric motor will be the future in CA.
Hydramaster has a great platform to begin this project with the X-drive.
The Company needs to figure out how to run it without the ICE engine. However, the machine will be too expensive for most cleaners, But the treehuggers will love it.

I was saving it for Justin to make a BBQ grille.... :-(

I thought about that. But my wife told me she would rather die than eat bbq from a tank that sucked up poo-water for 20 years.
She has a point.

So you rolled it out and let the tornado get it.

Happy to hear your sister's home is nearly done and that your dad's in good shape.

Those Kentucky tornadoes were intense. Ian was horrible. And now, Cali's "atmospheric river" storms. Krazy stuff!

At least the Bane's been put to rest.
