Interview with Shawn Forsythe 2-6-08

[Shawn Forsythe]

Hello Shawn

3 top selling Chems at CCCS

Zone Perfect by Bridgepoint
ProChem's Dry Slurry
PC3 by Kleenrite
Viper Venom
We also do quite a bit with CTI's stain removal products.

These stand out in this store, but I am unsure about the company in general.

 

[Shawn Forsythe]

How do you like the name " Mikeysboard"

over my idea "Bighead.com" ?

Mikey'sBoard has more broad range appeal.

 

[Mikey P]

Listen Magilla, God frowns upon those mean spirited jokes of yours.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Which company has come closest to carrying on the better parts of the Steam Genie legacy?


How did the "Lowes job" story get started?

You are one of my favorite board participants.

Thanks,
Lee

Last Call-----

I have to be heading home soon. It's been a pleasure being here, and I want to thank everyone for being good sports.

5 more, then I have to call it a night.

 

[Chris Muetterties]

Great job tonight !!

See you at Mikefest

 

[Mikey P]

Let me give you a safer new guy hypothetical..

You sold the Newb a new unit and van that best fit his budget and demographic now what do you insist that he puts in it besides the mount.

 

[The Preacher]

[Mikey P]

do you think Chad K is light in the Loafers???

I have to say that Bob Vawter has done an admirable job at keeping a number of units "on the road", with his rebuilding and renewing efforts. It's good that he's around. It does me no good to say it, but I still think that the Steam Genie Slide-in's and PTO systems were amongst the best creations of this industry. And If I found one in good condition, I would be tempted to snatch it up myself.

Matt King is also making a valiant effort to keep the spirit alive, with his inspired units on the same basic PTO design. I really hope he makes it a success that he is able to keep it going.

I think Jimmy Ladwig started the Lowes story, right after I left Steam Genie. He pondered that I must be selling carpet there, as a joke. Those who have butted heads with on the boards, like Willy, took it to extremes.

It used to bother me a tad, because it was meant to be demeaning. After a time, I didn't mind it. Now, I honestly think its funny, and would not hesitate to play along. Hey, I'm a Jimmie Johnson fan, and do prefer Lowes to HD. It's all in good fun.

Thanks Lee, for your parting comment. I've always liked your posts too. It's too bad what happened over at ICS. Way out of control.

A vacuum hose reel with a solution hose reel on a stack bracket, a chemical rack. A decent upholstery tool, my preference being a Drimaster.

If the guy is doing alot of commercial work, I will explain the benefits of encapsulation and a Cimex. That it will make him competitive in a market where using just a TM will be difficult to be profitable and priced right.

 

[The Preacher]

Is mrs forsythe ovulating tonight, thus the reason for yore early exit??? :shock:

 

[The Preacher]

[Shawn Forsythe]

Is mrs forsythe ovulating tonight, thus the reason for yore early exit??? :shock:

And you wonder why you were booted as a Mod?


Goodnight everyone. Thanks again.

 

[The Preacher]

whos smarter, you, or that twit from Canada, Toni something or other???

 

[Mikey P]

I had to use my Dri Master the other day while my chimp used my PC.


I really hate that tool.

 

[Mikey P]

Great job Shawn.

But I still think Nellos would have pulled better numbers.






See ya soon and thanks for all the time you put in here.

 

[Bob Foster]

Thanks Shawn and please bring that nice Mustang to MF. See you there.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Nick would have been more entertaining....lol (perhaps self-destructively)

However I'd recommend that he let Kim type and "edit" his comments.

Great job Shawn, thanks.
