Important

We had the Dyson pet for a while. I wrecked the whriley beater bar thing using it on a construction site sucking up drywall dust. Lar chewed my ass.
I replaced it with the Hoover wind tunnel. Giant POS! it is now relegated to cleaning up job sites. It has cheap plastic clips that break and the suck hose had sharp bends that plug easily.
We now have a Dyson again the canister looking one and so far it has been real good.
I am banned f rom taking it out of the house.
The first dyson we had still sucks like a thirty dollar hooker, but the beater bar won't spin.
They are worth the price in my opinion.

I read through a Consumer Reports magazine at the part time a few weeks back, the pet Dyson actually scored lower than a couple Hoover and Eureka pet vacuums that were in the $200 range.

They are nice units, but with 2 dogs, a cat and 3 kids worth of dust and dirt I want the best vacuum for my money, even if it's not a Dyson.



I had to display a firearm to get the dirtbag Kirby guy to leave my property last time they came through town. If you show up in a 80's Aerostar that hasn't been washed since '99, don't expect to push your way into my house to demonstrate a vacuum.

Now there's a police cruiser in your driveway. They'd be stupid to not GTFO. I nearly had to display mine to a jackass trying to sell me satellite service one time. I opened the site and said no, he kept taking and I said no 3 more times. I finally said get the fork off my porch, when he got lippy I slammed the door in his face.
 
I bought my wife hatch struts for the 5.9 for Christmas...

I still get random dirtbags coming up to the house and asking to rake leaves, clean gutters, etc. Last guy got pissed when I told him I didn't want a guy that had been arrested for theft 5 times doing anything to my house/yard.

I can't wait to live out in the country.
 
It seems like most of what I vacuum up is short white hairs from my dog.
After going through a few cheapo ones we got the Hoover pet rewind plus, I have had it for a few years now and it still works great.

When I wanted a shop vac all I had to do was tell Sam a vac existed that could suck up bolts, water, or even lizard poo right out of tanks.

My buddy had a Dyson and it did not last if I was spending good $ i'd get a Kirby. My parents have had the same one since I was a kid and it is still a very nice vacuum.
One of my friends has a new one from his stint as a Kirby salesman and has all the attachments like the shampooer.I was impressed with how similar in build and quality it was with my parents much older model.

Dude came over and did my free demo cleaning after he quit, I may just pay him to come back some time, he only did appointments!

I usually only have problems living in the city when the company car is at the garage for service...working thirds I can't get oil changes done when I'm at work.

Have had a few random people ask for directions...yes they pull in my driveway and come to the door and ask for directions.

I heard all vacuums suck.

When you come out here in May (WHEN...see I said when) remind me to tell you the story of the security alarm people that conned my wife into installing a security system in our house. I didn't brandish a weapon because I'm pretty sure if I would have there would be two dead security people on my hands.

I don't know if I have ever been as mad a two guys in my life (and kind of mad at my wife but he was one slick ass salesman and totally had her bamboozled)

Nothing pisses a guy off more than telling a dude "get the F out of my house while the other guy is still knocking holes in your wall to install god only knows what.
 
It'll be early May! Late May will be busy for me. Trip to Utah,New York state for a wedding, Kentucky for the annual family memorial day get together.
 
well finally getting some snow play in...haven't gotten any in jersey but out in our future home area its coming down. wj gets around well in the snow, put new draglink ends on yesterday and the steering is 100% better. it has one cupped wheel from the previous owner...so it doesn't handle great when turning in the icy snow...but i also haven't driven a jeep with street tires on it in...well...ever i guess. so far i do really like this jeep...comfy, runs well, very smooth ride compared to a stock xj.
