Trapper Dahlgren posting the salty truck pics reminded me of something I discovered at our local self serve truck/car wash. What's faster, a New York minute, or a coin carwash minute? $2.50 to start, not sure what extra quarters get in time. The numbers go as fast as a slot machine. But what you think is a minute on the carwash timer is about 45 seconds.....At least ours is. Nowhere in signage are times per $ claims made. Had my grandson time a minute on his phone compared to what the display said....Twice. It also takes a slice and a half of cheese to cover the bread now, at least till the bread gets smaller....I will do a heck of a lot less to get a Klondike bar also....Those got smaller too!!


you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

The thing that ticks me off at a coin car wash is the dang thing starts before you get all the quarters in. I never timed one, but I will the next time I use one.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I think the self -wash timing is a full first minute and then it's declines rapidly once they know you're all suds up with the wind down alarm going off... leaving you feeding quarters like a fat kid eating cake.

Don't wash your truck, everyone knows water causes rust. My wife washed mine once ten years ago and now it's a rusty mess whistle


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Just back from the one in Thompsontown, 12 quarters got me 12 minutes. Buck to start = 4 min. and a minute for every extra quarter. Wife timed it and it was accurate.

An old guy I used to work with used to take a bucket of diesel fuel and a rag and wash down his truck in late summer every year.
It smelled funny for a while and the paint looked a bit dull but it never had a speck of rust.And they pour the salt heavy on the hiway here.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Honestly I knew an old boy that did that. He worked asphalt work his whole life. Said they cleaned the tar off the trucks with diesel fuel over the summer and fall. Then plowed snow with them in the winter, The trucks didn't have much rust.

I wonder if that falls under the jurisdiction of the Dept of Weights & Measures?
