[hogjowl]

Wanna move to Georgia?

 

[Mikey P]

Wanna move to Georgia?

Hire him, he HAS to be more pleasant than you..

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Alabama is still a state away from Georgia

 

[hogjowl]

His reading comprehension is poor
But I am aware of a situation in Georgia

 

[Jimmy L]

Heard that MA. is a HELLHOLE so it's best that you move away.

 

[Jim Pemberton]

He should go to Nebraska...to be one with "people of the land...the common clay of the new west"

You know the rest.

 

[hogjowl]

You’re not at all helpful

I was think Jim Martin.

Could buy his house too.

Just tell the neighbors so they don't think you murdered him and took over his life.

It’s all good Caesar... we don’t have to be ‘fans‘ of each other .... and I’m always down for the last offer you made


sorry, no job here though

when we fully ramp up after Covidcrap 19 , my son is going to hire one of his friends ... he’s the face of the future and I want him calling the shots

at 55 , I no longer look forward to the busy season ... other than the deposits


at 60, and out of the carpet cleaning routine for awhile, you may have forgotten how daunting this career is in the field day in and day out

why not hustle up a window route Again?

if you were eyeballing the Rotovac sales rep job then it shouldn’t intimidate you to hear a few hundred No’s before you build up a steady cash flow of window accounts


That was the soft version of advice ,now buckle up and listen to Phred for a second .....



if you were the mighty Caesar at one point then get it back !

No excuses, you claim you are in ‘superb shape’, have equity in a home that can provide seed capital and once had a thriving business


this shit is like playing the guitar... it’s muscle memory. If I lost my business, I could build it back to a moderate facsimile at the very least through similar effort

.... owners want young bucks on their trucks . Have you looked inside Kennedy Carpet Cleaning trucks or Stanley Steemers?


if you did it before, you can do it again.

unless I was right about you

So it seems the secret to have a fully successful cc business is to have a good son to run the rig when we get too old to wand all day.

My son is about 8years away. I have some training to do

Teach him now that hot hoses melt asphalt...

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Years ago in a Mexican restaurant we burned a line across several booths when a hot solution line got "short cutted" over them.

On big jobs it's important to move or isolate hot hoses that lay in the same spot more than a few minutes if you don't want to "brand" the carpet.

 

[Fat Mike]

We’re teaching our kids to work just so they have a work ethic. If they wanna work with us great if not I’m confident they’ll do well.

Solid advice Foster, there are principles we’ve learned building a business and the results definitely are duplicable

I’m young but that really sounds like a cool adventure doing something again in a new area or a completely new venture

 

[Numero Uno]

Had hoped to give Joe the business,but he became a Dr instead.Grats, on having your boy succeed you.
To restore truck looking at 5-10 grand body wise.Unit is in great condition,ran it often an winterized.Might restore to sell her ...
But truthfully when I look in mirror,that mighty unstoppable fella ain't there...
Just a pretty beat up fella looking to finish a few yrs left as an employee...Worked 14 hours last Friday for a guy who splashed and dashed his way all day. Pay was great , I was sick to my stomach knowing I was doing shit work... But it paid some bills. To be told not to clean center of room an leave furniture in center???
I like the challenge Fred, your right in a few areas... just scared an unsure right now... Marty Georgia is a great place. Should have stayed at Benning...I'm just very introverted now..
But Fred honestly thank you for serious butt kick...Dad was a railroad engineer,so I think I can I think I can...but???

Can you post a picture of your current self?

 

[Dolly Llama]

dayum .....what a fck'd up position to be in at 60

wish you well, Ceeze
Me personally, if I was looking for work at 60, it wouldn't be the physical daily grind of CC'ing
...Sales or management is where I'd focus

Unless you've changed drastically in appearance and demeanor from 20 years ago when I first met you, you'd do well in sales if self motivated enough to be non-stop

..LTA.

 

[FB7777]

Oh and I’m sincerely sorry about the passing of your father John

I know you were close

He could be a wet dream for a Jon Don or interlink to run the showroom floor

 

[FB7777]

Saying and doing are often mis-aligned,

the latter is the only one that matters

Caesar there is no prescription for old age; it only gets worse. But there are remedies for sorrow and despair. Not knowing anything about your beliefs, please excuse any mistake and I will tell you two things to start climbing back out. They will seem crazy but they will work.

1: Jesus said “I will never leave you or forsake you.” That is the bottom line, no matter what has happened or how it feels. You still matter, ESPECIALLY if you don’t see how and why. Commit your confusion and sorrow to God and ask him to simply guide your steps. Make it all his problem to solve and you just move to step two.

2: Get into motion, even if you do not know where you are headed. If you need to be alone, take water and food and go off into the woods overnight. If you have a camper, go wander for two weeks. Find some small amount of beauty and go admire it intently.
If you go job hunting, take your fishing rod or tobacco and force yourself to walk, reflect and let yourself heal after the appointments. Nature has a wonderful way of clearing your mind. When you finish this post, get up and walk around the block.

When you can stand people around you, find some small thing to do for someone helpless. Do three things this coming week, for free. Stupid things like mow that old man’s lawn, deliver Meals on Wheels, wash the old lady’s car or go down the the nursing home and read to them in the lounge. The week after, do three more things.

None of these things are the goal because you aren’t ready for a goal yet. They are steps into unknown territory. “Trust in the Lord with all thIne heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.” so get in motion.

It is also okay to pm me. I’ve been in places a lot like what you have described.

Were those lines steel braided? I use only fabric braid inside, and I am using propane heat so it is hot!
