Passed a Coit van today on the way home.
I noticed it at the light, one of those "bubble" vans ...( fiberglass box with a rounded aerodynamic shape)


what struck me most was the lone driver ....looked like he wasn't old enough to drive...let alone legally running equipment



I'm getting older or they're getting younger .
I CHOOSE to live denial and think they're just getting younger .....:icon_redface:

I hear ya Lar......I've seen a few of the "big" companies around, and I'm tempted to ask the kids if their Mom knows where they are. They probably wonder if I'm just the truck driver.

I taught my first class in 1979 a nervous skinny kid with a roomful of older men ..some old enough to be my father, a few were my grandfather's age.

Today nearly everyone in the seats are younger, most much younger than me. I reflect with sorrow that most of those men in the room in 1979 are gone now.

Still, 35 years later, I'm learning more from the guys in the seats than they learn from me, just different lessons.

You're in shape too Richard. Round is a shape.
You touched Jimmy? I hope it was appropriate touching......

I'm a happy man. I just bought another porty today. The Perfect Heat Richard Chavez Special Edition. All joking aside, I'm looking forward to testing the "perfect heat" theory.

Don't tell me you got one of those portables with "heat exchanger technology" with those coils wrapped around each vac motor!

What did you get?

What are you doing with all those units? You must have 3-4 now don't you?

400 psi dual 3 stage perfect heat powrflite. 2 of them work most days, 2 back up units. I'm working on getting a 3rd employee to suck the dollars out of carpets for me:biggrin: so I only have one back up unit.... Yes Master James, I did. It's all part of a grand experiment.

O.K. Willy. I'm interested.
Could you send a link to the portable you bought.
And your preferred portable if different.
