Request Time...What would you like?

    As I go thru many of the articles I wrote from 2001 to 2004(over 900 of them), I see that about 400 or so were written on TMs and topics related to them. Way too much info to post it all. I have also done articles on most of the most popular accessories used in the industy and how to hot rod them to make them work better as well. This includes pieces on how to improve performance on portable machines, RX20's, Rotovacs, upholstry tools, wands and many more subjects like marketing your business to increase both profit and sales.So, if some of you would like to tell me where your main interest lies in this industry, I will try to post stuff that is of interest to you.

Now I know that some of you here will say no more posts is what you want.lol. That is fine too. But I only want to post stuff here that is interest to the MAJORITY of readers here. I can't please everyone, nor am I going to try.Those that dont want to read what the majority is wanting can scroll on by.I await your responses. Please post them here.Next week, I shall post stuff related to what interests the majority of the readers here if I can find it in my files.

slow down sgk... I need to catch my breath

No stuff from those decades Doug. But those were the decades that I learned the most about how airflow works, starting with rebuilding chevy motors in 1967 when I turned 14. By 1969 I was porting and polishing the cylinder heads to help a friend produce 600 HP race motors for his Vette.

No, the fact is I did not publish any articles on this technical stuff until 2000 when I got my first decent computer that could be connected to the internet and go on the message boards. Back then(in 2000)I could only type maybe 10 to 15 words a minute on the keyboard, so not much got put online that year. By May 2001, I was up to 30 to 40 wpm so started publishing the articles that my experience of the previous 30 years had given me.

How come I am just getting round to putting this stuff out now(a second time) after being here over 2 years already? Because I had been holding it back. 3 years ago(before the Kleenkuip board came about)after I brought out glides and signed an agreement with Hydro-Force to distribute them worldwide, I was going to use part of the $50,000 to $100,000US I was expecting to receive each year in royalties, to operate my own Board, much like Kleenkuip is now. I was going to use much of the 800+ articles already written and published online as the basis of a technical library for cleaners to use and refer to, with a technical question and answer section to help with on going questions that arise on a daily basis. All that had to be put on hold when my problems with the glides started happening back in October of 2003.

I finally realized a couple of days ago that what Ted wants to do with this board and what I wanted to do with a board of my own were pretty close to the same. We both want it to be a knowledge resource that cleaners can refer to and learn from. My association with Ted goes a long way back to 1978 in Toronto. Back then I was a salesman for a chemical supply house, and Ted became my first supplier that set me up in the carpet cleaning business with one of those old red steamex machines and a wand and 5 lbs of detergent(hide?). The rest is history. I think that Ted is one of the very best Distributors in the business, not only because he knows his business, but because I know that he genuinly cares for his customers, and often puts their interest ahead of his own. He may not have the best prices around, which he admits, but he more than makes that up with his customer service. A guy like that deserves my help and support.Now that the decision is made not to operate my own board, I am turning over all my articles written these last 6 years to this board and it's readers. I want to play whatever role I can to help this board reach it's full potential.

Now you know........the rest of the story.

Someone flush the toilet?

I do get carried away at times, or off topic. Ask clear questions and I will try to give less than 500 word answers.

LOL. That already happened Ninja. When you saw me in that picture I was 230 lbs, and they did stick out abit. Now I am just 190 lbs and they dont do that anymore.

When I go to Kleen Kuip in the Spring, I will get a new picture taken to put up on the board as well as my website. I need to because people that see me now do not recognize me now that I am back to the same weight as I was in high school.
