Hey Brett,.Chris Tucker said this YEARS ago,..He, stated: "This is insanity",...Meaning, he seen the boards morphing away from the original purpose,..which was many of us getting together to exchange ideas,..then it began a free for all for start-ups,..to experiment with,..because hey, why not,..we provided everything they needed to try something new. Not sure who had the first locked down board, but Chris had one,.and so did Don Phelps,..now gone I believe.


*It was always said that it makes for a better industry to give everything away and teach,..I don't buy that,..never did. All it does is put a bunch of knuckleheads into the business because as I said,..it's the "why not factor". They have to do little work to get started. You can't teach work ethic. Years ago it was people who started with the idea and then learned,..not finding it by chance and saying,..I think I'll give er' a go.

With that said,..I don't care if the board gets locked down or not,..there's already so much info out there not sure it matters anymore.

   We are locked down pretty good here Jeff, not many get in. We delete more new members because they don't fill out their profile. We also screen every new member that wants in. We Check Emails, Ip's, Websites and anything else we can com up with to trace the new member. Thats why our membership is so low.

Sorry Brett. Been pretty consumed with the business over the last 2 weeks to post anything meaningful. I am trying to make sure we are a 100% ready to go when the season officially kicks off.

 I'm always 100% ready,...and 100% of the time something odd happens within the first few hours, Ha, Ha,..

*Last year the Honda GX630 shut down after about 1/2 hour,...first thought low oil,..trailer was leaning a little and didn't really think that was it. Added oil,..no go,..then fuel pump went through my mind,..I switched fuel pumps,..I always have one with me, no go,...ended up being faulty low oil switch. And I found it a few minutes after thinking about it,..had happened before on a previous engine.  Was an easy fix.

Hey Mike,..yea,.I know that's what you meant,.and equipment is what I was referring to, Ha, Ha,...Seems like something odd happens even after months of preparation and maintenance. Just like the low oil sending unit I mentioned,..nothing there really to maintain,..and an unforeseen issue.

I usually start with work that is close to home and also if possible no one home,..Summer rentals, realtors etc,...Nice for running the first time and see what happens,..and no one looking.
