Positives on PWNA BMPs?

Tomorrow while my guys are out working(Where backlogged on work and there is a secret as to how we did that....I may tell that one on the computer...maybe. The only one I told how we did it was to Rob Huffman...maybe I'll let that secret out) I am going to a closed door meeting with the pension guys from my state capital. This is a closed door meeting and I have to leave in 5 hrs to get there. Nothing a few Redbull drinks can't handle. I have a few people who want me to relay the info that happens in there. This is the real deal and this maybe a true battle. I have alot of perks but too many others are losing there's because there contracts are running out. Mine is good for exactly 4 more years and then I can leave and follow the sunset. Still its not in me to leave my brothers and sisters in my other field out in the cold if no one takes a stand....or at least sucks up the info to pass on so strategies can be put in place. To be honest this is why I think I won this last award which was the biggest one I was awarded on this job. Not the most meaningfull one because the Plane crash EPD metal will forever stay with me but this one meant alot and even though they were never specific as to why I recieved this award my wife thinks its because I generally care for people and not to see them get hurt or in some cases ruined.

I think Kathy may be right because all my life I always try to give more then I recieve because I always feel better knowing I made someone feel better because of something I have done. That is why it hurts me probably more then most about what went wrong with the Powerwashing orgs I got involved in. I spread myself way to thin and looking back I should have turned down these org. positions when I was asked to take them... but I have a tough time telling someone no when they have a vision that when I think about it for a long enough time(I'm slow like this) I take the plunge.

Anyway tomorrow is the real deal and one day I hope to be back with the Joe Walters, The Hinderliters, Ron, Doc, Carlos, Rob, and many others and yes Jeff who is a star in my book to help this industry out and to make us a little closer so we can achieve so much more. To get there....its complicated but I have that plan in my head and yes it can be done..but not by slamming each other... that will never work. It may give instant satisfaction but in the long run...it kills and ruins and dreams never come true because of this.

Lets see if after tomorrow some are unhappy I recieved this award because in the end its the people that count...will see

Hey John, seriously all joking aside, do you keep your bullet in your right or left front pocket?

Yup Joe Walters called me the other day. Joe and I talk whenever we see each other which has been rare these days because I have not attended any Power washing events and except for maybe a couple of local stuff here and popping into to see some other friends booths at different shows I'm staying away..... for maybe a couple of years at most. Then I may come back. I liked being on the BOD and I always like to be right there when important decisions had to be made. It was never about the money with me and I may be an odd duck but I liked doing board work. Kind of miss it actually.

As for Joe the last time he called me was when the Everett fiasco was in full form. We both liked Everett and we both liked Carlos and it was upsetting to both of us to see these guys go thru what they did. You have to know the real history to really know how that all transpired on both fronts. The Everett one was the most brutal because he offered to resign but us the BOD were to enamared by his charasmatic,Confident and knowledgable style so we couldn't muster the guts to let him go. Thats where that blunder was and Everett will tell you today he was in a tremendous crossroads then. He was going to do his training school and that was the closest thing to his heart. There was no questioning that but as for his leadership role for the PWNA he was willing to give that up and we would not let him... Thats the mistake there... and what happened after that is history.

Jeff says I'm to in love to see straight. Thats fine. I'm use to getting flak from Jeff at every angle. Jeff is a good guy who is lucky to be alive and he has done well to get where he is today. Good man. But one thing and Jeff may never agree with this....I see things very clearly which at times is dangerous because when you see the pieces of the puzzle are not adding up that becomes emotionally draining and the day will come when I commit to something here and follow it all the way thru instead of pointing out the problems for others to try and fix.

So love may be blind but facts never are----Thats for you Jeff:wink2:

lol.... I'm not really sure where my bullets are. I think they fell out of my firearm a few years ago when I was playing horse shoes at that kiddie party. The kids sure got a kick out of the handcuffs and all wanted to be handcuffed. That was fun doing that until I realized I must have lost the cuff key. Man that was not good.

I would but that gun I carry is really a water gun. Wish I could be of more help. I can cool you down with it if you like.

Thanks Chris. That means alot to me. I think many here are passionate about this industry such as yourself. If we all were in the same room most of us would really get along even though on the net at times you would never know it. When I use to go to a few RT's a year there were only a very few times when I heard someone really didnt like it. I can't wait to start going to them again but for now I am hoarding my cash and my bills are becoming less and less. My next goal in life as far as spending money goes I want to buy a boat and do that for a few years. Slowly but surely getting there
