New KONE Service Vehicle

Tim Fish Here. As you can see, I've upgraded my service vehicle. Seems the old Radio Flyer isn't meant for industrial use. The wheels couln't keep up with the required load of the Fishman's tools and sundries. This model comes with a lockable sliding door, and 6 drawers. I modified the cart by adding brackets for a broom handle, an oil can holder and a tube to put my flourescent tubes in. I also added a four foot step ladder and my signature sitting bucket with rags and other stuff inside. I've placed my toolbox, grease gun, and vacuum cleaner in the bottom compartment, and have additional space as needed. There are still a few things I've yet to add, but will get done in the next few days. The only thing I need is bigger wheels. I'm not going to push my luck and ask for them too soon. It took some convincing to get the boss to spring for this sweet ride...er 'push'.

The first picture is the reason I couldn't park in the "Service Vehicle" spot with the useless truck that I drive to work, in order to be allowed to push the cart to the buildings where I do the actual work of servicing elevators. I also hate it when the handicapped people park in my regular non-handicapped spaces. Hmmmm....

Now for something completely different. I think it's funny how the politicians think that not paying taxes is just small problem. I'm glad that Tom Daschle decided to pay taxes on the $89,000.00 he 'forgot' to declare. I think the fact that they want people to pay taxes when someone drives you somewhere is ridiculous. Daschle DID say that tax cheats should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I doubt he'll get the same treatment that you or I would get. He will in fact get away with it. Just like Charlie Rangle, Timothy Geithner, Al Franken etc.. At least he's not going to get the job. What kind of a message is sent when there are two sets of rules?

I wrote to my Congressman and Senators today. Just like the Geico, 'Caveman' commercial, I said; "The Fair Tax: So easy a Politician can do it." I encourage you all to write your Politicians. They need to hear from you.
