Happy pics of vacs and sunsets

[petek]

We had an absolutely beautiful sunset here of the sun disappearing behind the Rockies, unfortunately though with these point and shoot camera's everything in the distance looks even more distant than with the naked eye.. but it's still nice. You can see the grayed outline of the mountains on the horizon. And that's a mist that comings up just beyond my fence from the pond, yes we actually get heavy fogs out here on the prairie, moreso than places along the coast it seems. Especially on days like today when it's warm and sunny then it quickly cools down at sunset

Get Real

I don't see any vacs in that picture. Totally misleading thread topic. You suck Pete. I never liked you!

Now just look at all the black hair left behind from my little Ben, and I just vacuumed this area last night for all the good it did.. but the Eureka Vanguard stands ready.

Well OK then.

And voila, all better

Hoover dial-a-matic

Appliguy Patrick gave me a Hoover dial-a-matic two weekends ago because he thought it matched my living room. It's orange and beige. Man, I'll tell you, that thing is friggin' heavy. I can barely lift it with my scrawny physique. It's impossible to push because of the weight, but it is self-propelled. Despite that ridiculous weight, I have to say, I do have a lot less cat hair now. I didn't realize it was self-propelled at first and sucked one of my cats right up. He tried to get away and I tried to stop the machine, but the thing was just too damn fast.

A good selection.

And getting a vacuum that matches your living room is the right reason for picking a vacuum. I'm all about assessorizing.

 

[petek]

Well lets see it them!! I have an orange fronted one with a tan sort of motor base, but the backside is dark brown. It's not the self propelled model so it's not too bad to push

Misspelling

Or "accessorizing". The fact that I can't spell the word is a little heartning.

You want me to post a pic?

OK, give me a few minutes. I think I have to change the batteries in the camera.

Never posted a picture of my office before

While you're waiting, he's a picture of my office. I want you to notice two things. One, there is a hot cup of coffee on the desk. I'm drinking that right now. 2, there is no cat.

Hoovers are great

Sorry it took me so long. I had to get a handtruck to wheel it out of my closet and to a place where I could take a nice picture. Obviously, this is not the room it matches. I'm now on the hunt for a green vacuum cleaner for this room.

Mike, what do you call that material or whatever that that lampshade sitting to the right of your monitor is made of. I have a couple of lamps with those shades and never know what to call the shade. Is it fiberglass?

 

[Versatronic]

My pony pal

I have a small Pokey collection as well, but they're displayed in the Orange room, naturally.

Fiberglass

I've heard that material called various things. The most common is fiberglass. Sometimes people will use the word "parchment" to describe the material.

 

[Versatronic]

Gotta run

I don't know if you can tell from the pic, but that shade is actually square rather than round. Actually, it's not even square. What do you call that shape, a parelleligram or something? I graduated last in my class. I gotta run. The bar closes at 9. See ya.

Mike-- Love your desk, that wild green chair and the end table next to the desk. And AGAIN with the cool-as-shit curtains. Your house is so awesome.

Thanks Frigy

See all those videos in the shelves. I love cult movies and drive-in movies. I want to see something intellectually stimulating, something offbeat and unique, or something with women with big honkers. I'm very particular about that. If it's intellectually stimulating, offbeat, AND has women with big honkers, then I call it a classic.
