Like Yeadon said, this will be the Woodstock of carpet cleaning events. I'm not even sure how I pulled it off. Look at the list of Rock Stars coming..
The excuses you've made for not showing up will never satisfy you once the reports come rolling in. We have room for about 15 more, so think long and deep.

The rug plant tour will be a real eye opener for those of you with extra space in your buildings, poll barns or garages. In the real world you really don't need much more than a tree branch to dust with, a river to rinse with and another tree branch to dry with. Aaron's ultra low tech operation will have you rethinking what it really takes to clean a dirty rug. Tom promises not to badger anybody as he Co-hosts this anti rug fag experience.

Make sure to rent a car with GPS or know how to use your phones. Nothing is straight or as it should be here.

Please carpool as much as possible when ever possible as parking at the VFW, the rug plant, the brewery and everywhere else in town is limited.

Have a back up plan for dinner on Thursday as we may overwhelm the brewery. Use Yelp to find what you like. There is additional parking for the brewery on the other side of the street by the rail road tracks.

If you come late to class on either day you will miss a lot so plan your evenings accordingly.

I know I am the devil and the root of all evil in the world but let's please try our best to make this a drama free event.
Sizzling hot topics such as the Pro1200, Fred Cordell's amazing ability to infect your computer at will, ICE, Olsen's pain killer induced tantrum and what ever other BS that at one point were all so important, really don't or shouldn't mean a thing.

Let's enjoy this Family Reunion for what it really is, and forgive and forget and leave the drama and the oh so difficult for males to do apologies or excuses for another day, preferably prior to...

I will say that it's a true crying shame that past MB members such as Les, Foster, George, Vince and Draper won't be here. Life is way too short to let bullheadedness lead you astray from your family.


See you soon freinds!


and pray for no rain.

If I was smart I'd cancel your flight.

I'll be so overwhelmed with the information and classes, that you will have no issue with me.






Except for maybe shivering in the corner from overload : )

Seeing as I can't be there, I'm looking forward to plenty of reports & pics to make me envious.

Have a great time all, & put aside all those petty indifference's and open your minds to what is being presented to you.

Lucky buggers.

Shortwun you can at least send a few jokes that we can spread in your honor. Nick and Steve still talk about your jokes at SFS. I will have a few pints in your honor.

Why are you shaving?

You are coming to hang out with a bunch of carpet cleaner! We don't care about what you look like! Just don't act crazy or special and you will be fine.

You got to be kidding Michael.
Are we talking about the same group that can argue for a week weather it is better to vacuum from north to south or east to west? And still not reach an agreement.
And that's before we even reached a subject we truly care about.

Don't listen to him Chris. Nothing but a three piece suit will do.

I am not sure, but it would seem that Mikey is making nice with the above recent expressions.

It will be great to talk shop with real rug washers and others interested in being such. I told Maggie I washed rugs on my flat and sloped concrete driveway, my concrete curbed pit (both of which I still have), a 16' Moore Roll-A-Jet, and now the whole array of Centrum Force pieces of equipment. At the end of the day, machines and devices are all just tools. The real craftsman is the one knowing how to use whatever he has to process a rug for the optimum results. Tools used properly can be time savers. I look forward to seeing Artisan's way of doing things too. It should be fun. I love talking about utilizing space smaller spaces to maximize the greatest throughput. Add appropriate tools as your business revenue increases and justifies the outlay for the ROI.
