Cobbs is on sale

I appreciate the kind thought, but I agree with Fred

Most of you don’t know the names of the pioneers who invented or vastly improved the products, tools, and techniques you use. In another generation, the names above will also be forgotten.

A friend of mine gave me a perfect illustration about how much impression we leave after we retire or pass away:

“Put your foot in a bucket of water, and see if you left a footprint”

I couldn’t say it better

Didn’t mean to catch you in the crossfire Jim

You’re ‘impression’ is more akin to an ice sculpture or sand castle at low tide

it will be felt Albeit briefly

Interesting that you included your parking….

And I’m the narcissist

Some old timers hold progress back. I'm not saying Larry is one of them...but I'm not saying he wasn't either.

Will it be sad to see his abomination truck mounts disappear?

He was always quick to point out how he would improve the large manufacturers equipment yet his TM's were left in a time capsule.

His chem line was inconsistent in quality. Claims of a bad batch, different color and look were fairly common.

Miss Larry? Sure I will.

Yes

He that won't be named and his money pit used car lot porshes and MB, bmw.............

inventory is worth .40 on the dollar, the good will of his client base is worth 3 months income.

So probably $100k

Minus the cost of 3 dumpster loads of junk in his warehouse

 

[Lee Stockwell]

We should do a fest there to send him off...complete with a wall to wall charity junk auction.

The engine exhaust drying system? The Air duct cleaning system of the Cobb TM? The 10ft long water softener? The cement mixer? I'm sure there are some unique contraptions around back.

No fixies.



I'll be grateful for Larry's letting me know about the Emperor pump. At the time there were 70 flavors of garbage being used in truckmounts. We tried an Emperor, then specified it, then it became the industry standard.

Thanks,
Larry

Put down the crack pipe

this industry isn’t medical research for gawds sake

it’s soil removal.

“their knowledge” is still being practiced and will improve

it’s nice to revere predecessors but advancements leap frog from there

Hey silly wabbit....It is SO medical wésearch!

Could you at least tell us where its tethered to, so we can go over there and do some real damage?

Maybe he can mix up a decent powder that’ll actually dissolve in water

 

[hogjowl]

May be you’ll have hot water in Georgia by then

And some of them fancy indoor shitters too!

You seem to miss Larry

 

[hogjowl]

What’s to miss?
He was hardly ever here.

Larry said he's still going to be making the chemicals himself. Guess we still get to bust up the clumps with a stick for awhile.
