I need to apologize..

Recently, I have participated in numerous threads that have been addressing personalities and groups in the pressure washing industry. I have tried to keep myself distanced from these sorts of arguments, because, quite honestly, I feel it is like wrestling with a pig in the mud. The pig is having a great time, and you can only accomplish getting dirty.
I also have another weakness, since I have a low tolerance for misleading comments, and downright fabrications. It is a personal weakness, and has caused me a problem in the past.
This being the case, I wanted to apologize to everyone for my participation in these types of threads, and am going to try and keep myself distanced from them in the future, because that is not the man I want to be, nor is it the image I want to portray. Since that type of comment can only diminish me, and my feelings about myself, I feel that they are patently non productive.
I am not personally going to forbid these types of threads, but I am going to make every effort to keep myself distanced from them, since, at this point, they serve no purpose but to incite negative and harsh feelings towards others. I also think that it can easily tie me into people that I disagree with ethically, morally, and in matters of business operations. That is not something that I want to have happen under any circumstances.
I do not raise my kids to be like that, and in order for them to see how I expect them to honor our family name, and represent what I have taught them all their lives, I need to abide by the same code of conduct.
 
Don't worry about it Scott, you are a person of character and integrity, a role model for a lot to follow.

We all are only human and we do what we can.

I personally don't like to get into the threads about politics because honestly I don't care to argue about that stuff since I do not keep close track of what is going on, I have other priorities like my son, family and business which is way more important to me than other things out there.

I doubt if anyone of character here will have a problem with you being in such threads and posting, we all do once in a while, some more than others but in the end we are only human.
 
I can say that the Lasik I had in June has kept me from reading a lot on the computer, so I have missed a lot of the posts your referring to. After the L O N G post from Tony on the UAM** my eyes felt like the were bleeding and on fire.

So all is well with me and your posts! I am not going to find them.

So lets all go back to the old way before this Cancer started....

I second your idea...

how about we just remove it all and move forward.

If this org ever moves in a fair positive way we will always do what we do here and allow people to know about it.

The reality is that its going to spread people will get hurt and there's nothing that we can do.

Poeple started and anti org agaist others. Its simple its been exposed and its time to move on.

I agree with Scott, we all have been thinking negative, This just breads more resentment.

Lets have all UAMCC negative talk or anything else for that fact.

If you have nothing positive, if you cant ask a question professionally then dont go there.

Anyone third this?

We're all guys trying to accomplish the same thing. Setting up a breeding ground for hatred, mistrust and personal attack has never been what PWI is about. Glad to see admin tapping the brakes.

I think we want that, this has been the problem Ken. Communication.

I got to get some new tires for my gooseneck tomorrow, I am taking Scott Stone "The new garage kings" advice, we are replacing the old, small 225/75/R16's with 235/85/R16's ..... 3 new ones are about three inches taller than the others.

I will post pics :yeah:
 
Russ, didn't you just get that trailer like last year?

The tires wearing out that fast?
 
I'm not like Scott. I don't care what you people think about me.

If I cared about that I would have just been quiet and let everyone herd themselves into the pen and laughed at the calamitous results.

I've got nothing to gain from either side. Scott's trying to live as his conscience dictates. Who can fault him for that?

I am doing the same.

Hate? There's no hate from this side. That's an easy way to fool the weaker minded into forgetting about the substance of an argument and focus rather on the way the argument was delivered.

It's used all the time in politics.

If you didn't vote for the black candidate you must be racist.

If you don't agree with more school funding you must "hate the children".

It's an old tactic, but it works on the complacent. Unfortunately there are plenty of complacents in any field who find it easier to accept the charge of "hate" rather than spend a few minutes getting to the bottom of an issue.

And Ken, Your post here is working on a few sheep, but not all of them. You really need to go change your political affiliation. Hatred? Personal Attacks? You sound like Chris Matthews defending Clinton. Where was all this sensitivity when the PWNA was being attacked?

yes Chris but you need to remember that that trailer has made 2 trips as far as Connecticut, probably 25 to Atlanta and back, Louisiana and Florida more than I can remember but probably 15 to 20.

I am pretty rough on them as well having to pull a full 500+ gallons around a shopping center grinding the tires when I make turns, the tires themselves are ok in some places but there are parts where they are showing the cords as well, very strange tire wear?
 
I understand now. Thanks for telling me why.
 
Tony, you are wrong. I could not care less what others think about me, that don't live under my roof. I care what my family thinks of me, and how I feel about myself.

wow I feel terrible, I have never thought of it that way but you are 100% correct! Thank you Scott
 
Russ 235/85/R16's Should be the same size as your dually unless you have changed the size. I used to put my old tires from my dually on my 10 ton trailer. Then put new ones on my truck......As long as I kept a spare I ran the tires on the trailer to 3/32 -2 /32
