I have an 8 month old grandson named Madden. While their house is being renovated, Madden and his parents are living with my wife and me.
I may be biased, but as 8 month olds go, I would say Madden is exceptionally well behaved. We can take him out in public and he won’t fuss. He […]
Whew! That was fun! The ICA show, I mean. And by “fun” I mean, man, I’m glad that’s over for another year.
Don’t get me wrong, I love going to Vegas, seeing old friends and making new ones, but after sitting at a desk all year long, standing on concrete for hours on end has kind […]
“It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, its’ a new life…” Michael Bublé
Spring has sprung! At least I hope it has for you by this point. We had a brutal winter down here in South Florida as well and it went on for what seemed like forever… at LEAST 36 hours!
Remember those New Year […]
Do you ever feel like what we do for a living is meaningless? Face it, we don’t cure disease or put out fires or anything but is what we do really worthwhile?
If you’ve ever thought that what we do doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, think again.

Wow, the holidays have come and gone and we’re staring 2015 in the eyes. Where does the time go?
Since I’ve been writing these tips for the last 8 months or so, we’ve discussed equipment maintenance, management techniques and other subjects we teach in CarWash College. To start the new year, I thought I’d offer an […]
Have you ever heard the expression before, “throwing good money after bad?”.
According to the dictionary, it means to waste additional money after wasting money once. That sounds awful doesn’t it? Wasting additional money after wasting money once? Talk about your double negatives! Are you throwing good money after bad when it comes to your equipment […]
I’ll admit it. I’m old school. I still wear a flat top haircut. I’ve been with the same beautiful woman for 34 years. I say “yes ma’am and no sir” when addressing folks of all ages. I buy American whenever I can; I consider my word as my bond and in the order of importance […]
I was struggling to come up with a topic for this month’s tip. As I sat with a blank computer screen in front of me, some of my colleagues dropped by and asked what I was doing. I told them I was writing my CarWash College Tip of the Month. They would look at the […]
What ever happened to accountability? Seriously! Where did it go?
Nothing is anyone’s fault anymore it seems. There’s always an excuse. There is no more, “the buck stops
here” (younger folks may have to google that to understand).
I may be old fashioned, (insert old man joke here) but growing up I was taught that if I made […]
During the presidential campaign of 1928, a circular claimed that if Herbert Hoover won the White

What does this have to do with the car […]
