Three's Company misunderstood conversations. This is the Z-man Consumer Reports. Recently got the Horsepower Duck which promised to be a handy little hand-vac. Manual says 16-20 minutes run time which would be fine for my purposes but it always dies out after five minutes. Just now I used it to vacuum up all the cat hairs and dust on my stair treads. Got halfway through and had to recharge the thing just to finish the job. Couple summers ago bought that As Seen On TV Arctic Air device which is like a mini portable AC just add water. Gave off good cooling action for a while but the coils and interior became all rusty in no time and I wound up throwing it all out. Excuse me while I go Flex Seal my pipes.
Readers of this blog know what a bad winter I endured. Frozen pipes and a broken smart water meter which ain't cheap courtesy of the City of Yonkers. Had to call the pros in. Last two weeks my shower was giving me a problem. An old diverter valve the flap broke off. Whenever I took a shower it was like someone peeing on me so yesterday got a new one at my local hardware store and tried to install it myself. Got a touch more complicated than the YouTube how to video so easy a 10-year old could do it in five minutes so I called a professional plumber. Again. The plumbing community loves me.

ReplyDelete$80 dollar Bissel Model 2390A. It can do several sets of carpeted stairs, go under the couch and in between gaps. It gets full pretty quick, but has a see through top. Pull the cannister out and dump in the the outdoor garbage bin on the porch. The new Arby's ham sandwich is a thumbs down though. I had to chuckle this AM -
saw that Venezuela beat the USA in the World Baseball Series. You suppose the victors had to sneak home on drug/fishing boats?
My friend says stay away from the inflatable garden hose.
ReplyDeleteI have the Bissell Pet Stain Eraser. Excellent. I also have a Shark Rocket vacuum cleaner. You can even break it down to a hand vac. Don't rely on that Duck. The Shark tube often gets clogged up with cat hair. What a surprise with 5 cats. I then use a thin tomato stake pole to clear the passageway. Other than that good product.
Iran doesn't have a baseball team?
ReplyDeleteRand Paul sort of a thorn in the Trump butt?
ReplyDeleteThomas Massie the other thorn.
ReplyDeleteHegseth has spend hundreds of millions in the Iran fiasco and needs another $220,000,000 after 3.5 weeks. We had spent $188,000,000 helping Ukraine while they reduced the Red army by 110,000 over the last 3 years. War economics - don't put an idiot business man in charge..
ReplyDeleteI keep saying we need a harmless and boring president like Gerald Ford.
