A "bad witch ensemble" refers to a fashion style or costume inspired by the concept of a wicked witch. It typically includes dark and dramatic clothing, accessories, and makeup choices that evoke a sense of intrigue and mystery. The term "bad witch" often signifies a powerful and rebellious persona, taking inspiration from fantastical and supernatural elements. When putting together a bad witch ensemble, one may choose to incorporate elements such as black or dark-colored apparel, including dresses, skirts, or pants. These pieces may feature unique details like lace, leather, or mesh, adding to the overall mysterious and edgy aesthetic. Layering different textures and fabrics can enhance the overall look, creating a visually captivating effect.
Gonzalez’s quest to come up with a better mobile lubrication solution, and perhaps the desire to go home at night with clean hands, lead him to Hoekstra Truck Equipment, a Sage Oil Vac dealer in Grand Rapids, Michigan to see what the company’s options were for adding a mobile lube system to their service fleet.
Since making the switch to a custom mobile lube system by Sage Oil Vac, Gonzalez estimates he s been able to reduce the time it takes to service customer equipment by as much as 40 percent. Fortunately, the scientific establishment has caught up with the wisdom of the early witches village healers, providing plenty of research validating the beneficial effects of the once-vilified cannabis plant.

Customized Mobile Lube System Expedites Service Calls for Ditch Witch Sales of Michigan
Service after the sale is a top priority for most contractors when investing in a piece of construction equipment, and can be what separates a quality equipment dealer from its competition. How quickly a service technician has a machine up and running after a breakdown or after doing routine preventative maintenance work is how most contractors gauge equipment dealers. So, to score high marks with customers, dealerships need to hire knowledgeable service technicians and equip them with everything they need to be efficient in the field.
Ditch Witch Sales of Michigan understands that its customers depend on them. With locations in Grandville and Howell, the two service techs for the dealership spend almost 100 percent of their time in the field performing routine maintenance and handling emergency service calls when the need arises. Homer Gonzalez, from the Grandville Ditch Witch Sales of Michigan location, is one of the technicians. His job has him traveling all over the state and working on a wide range of equipment.
“I was a service tech in the oil fields before going to work for the dealership, Gonzalez explained. “I enjoy the work. I get to visit a lot of jobsites and work on a lot of different machines. And while a large chunk of the work is doing routine maintenance things like oil changes, there are times where a machine goes down and I need to work as quickly as possible to get it working so customers can stay on schedule. It’s those times, where the parts and tools I have on my truck make a difference.”
Officing from the truck
Just like anyone in the construction industry, Gonzalez’s Ford 550-truck is his office, and he is incredibly strategic about how he uses every square inch. Its service box is outfitted with a service crane, welder and air compressor. The side compartments house tools, supplies and parts.
“I believe keeping everything organized, clean, and tidy is one of the keys to being a good field service technician,” Gonzalez said. “However, until recently keeping the bed of my truck that way was a real challenge because I was devoting so much space to hauling around buckets of fresh and used oil. A person can do their best to make sure they wipe up drips on the buckets before putting them back in, but as they bounce around on a rough road and shift while turning, you’re bound to have some leakage.”
Transporting buckets wasn’t the only issue that the Ditch Witch Sales of Michigan service technician ran into while performing routine oil changes. He also said that having buckets sitting around a machine and wiping oil drips up was creating an unprofessional image. He knew there had to be a better, more efficient, way of handling these fluids.
Discovering a more efficient mobile lube solution
Gonzalez’s quest to come up with a better mobile lubrication solution, and perhaps the desire to go home at night with clean hands, lead him to Hoekstra Truck Equipment, a Sage Oil Vac dealer in Grand Rapids, Michigan to see what the company’s options were for adding a mobile lube system to their service fleet.
“While working in the oil field, there were a lot of companies that used large mobile lube service trucks or trailers, but I wasn’t sure if anyone offered a system that could be fitted to an existing truck without taking up the entire bed,” Gonzalez explained. “Mike Thorsen with Hoekstra showed me a Sage Oil Vac mobile lube system and explained how their compressed air fluid exchange systems use vacuum technology to dispense fresh fluids and suction up waste fluids using an air compressor. He also told me that I could create my own customized system based on my needs and the space I had available in my truck. It sounded like a great solution to my problem.”
After consulting with Thorsen and the team at Sage Oil Vac, the Ditch Witch service technician decided to order a Sage LubeBuilder system with two 30 gallon tanks. He planned to dispense fresh oil from one of the tanks and dispose of waste oil in the other.
Installing the system
Sage Oil Vac designed its LubeBuilder System to be easy to install and highly customizable. Gonzalez received tanks, hoses, reels, control panels and all of the accessories needed to perform the install himself. “Sage Oil Vac provided easy to understand instructions and diagrams for installing the system in the back of my truck. The whole process took about 8 hours and was pretty easy. I probably could have wrapped it up faster, but I’m pretty particular about my truck so I took a bit longer,” he added.
Gonzalez mounted the two storage tanks toward the front of the truck bed, mounted the controls to a panel near a compartment near the cab and the two reels are mounted on the top of the gearbox. The truck’s existing air compressor powers the whole system. Between the two tanks, the service tech has created a small area to hold used filters and accessories.
Efficient operations
Since making the switch to a custom mobile lube system by Sage Oil Vac, Gonzalez estimates he’s been able to reduce the time it takes to service customer equipment by as much as 40 percent. Not carrying around buckets and drip pains has also freed up a significant amount of his truck bed, and replenishing his supply of fresh fluids and disposing of waste oil is also much easier.
“On the job, there’s no longer any wasted time wiping down buckets,” Gonzalez said. “Also, there is little chance of contaminants getting into the fresh oil because I’m using a closed system when I’m adding oil to my onboard tank and when I’m on the jobsite replenishing a machine’s fluids. The chance of spilling any oil on a jobsite is also greatly reduced. There isn’t any downside to using a system like this — only positives.”
With all of the efficiencies created by adding a custom mobile lube system to its Grandville service truck, Ditch Witch Sales of Michigan went ahead and ordered another LubeBuilder system for the service truck at its Howell location. Gonzalez said that he was able to help with the install and it was ready to go in less than six hours this time.
“Equipping our trucks with a mobile lube system frees up a lot of time during our week, which means we can be more responsive to our customers’ needs. And, the system we chose is perfect because it’s customizable, so we don’t waste any space on our service trucks,” Gonzalez concluded.

Another explanation may have to do with the plant’s aphrodisiac properties. Controlling women’s sexuality is a longstanding tradition when it comes to controlling women in general. If sex and fertility are viewed as resources for men to consume and benefit from — as opposed to integral components of a woman’s self & sources of her power — it makes an awful kind of sense to censure them, so any aphrodisiac (especially one as safe and effective as weed) starts looking like an excuse for women to misbehave.
Hats, especially wide-brimmed or pointed styles, add a touch of drama and can complement the ensemble perfectly. When it comes to footwear, options like tall boots or elegant, pointed heels are often chosen to enhance the overall witchy vibe. Makeup is another essential aspect of a bad witch ensemble. A dark and smoky eye look using bold eyeshadow shades like gray, black, or deep purples can intensify the overall mysterious aura. Applying a dark-colored lipstick, such as deep red or black, can give a bewitching appearance. Alternatively, one can also opt for a dramatic cat-eye eyeliner, highlighting the eyes and adding to the mystical atmosphere. To complete the ensemble, one may incorporate additional elements with symbolic meanings associated with witchcraft, such as moon or star motifs, crystal accessories, or tarot-inspired prints. This attention to detail can further emphasize the bad witch aesthetic and create a cohesive and enchanting overall look. The bad witch ensemble is versatile, and individuals can interpret it in various ways to suit their personal style preferences, whether it be a subtle nod to the concept or a full-on dramatic costume. It allows individuals to tap into their creativity and express their darker, more mysterious side through fashion. Whether for a themed event, Halloween, or simply as a daily self-expression, a bad witch ensemble can be empowering, captivating, and a unique way to embrace one's personal sense of style..
