Wildly inaccurate! I will spare everyone every detail, but no… As far as is known to the world, Eric is doing well, keeping to himself and staying busy running the family business.

The main reason I've delayed new glasses so long... Is because, I too, have gone through the same change of life. I definitely am a loyal contact wearer these days!

All this talk of transitions has reminded me that I really need a new pair of glasses... With Transitions Lenses, obviously...

Such monsters for a blender! I thought I remembered it being a 4000 you got!

I don’t know that it’s extremely rare or anything, just uncommon. Usually you see some of the newer models going around cheap, but I’ve only managed to find just a container at a thrift store for one of these, and Id have bought it ‘just to have when I find one’ but it was in poor shape with a...

Not something you see often, and the only one I’ve seen in person. I’ve seen many of the newer ones and how they work, but these old chrome monsters I just don’t see. But I got lucky and found one out in Utah during a recent trip to Las Vegas for the VDTA. Its an absolute monster of a machine...

Oh I’ve always wanted to dredge up and old thread With something genuinely interesting and relevant. A couple weekends ago Colin visited from Omaha, and we went thrifting... found something interesting!

Been looking for a place to put these...

Word on the street says... Well, someone should give our friend the message, being associated with Jason Huber so closely is a true liability in this social world. Jason is truly unhinged and has done and said some very awful and truly unforgivable things to a LOT of people. Just being Facebook...

Its not available as a separate part, its a part of the motor. It would have to be identical, as they are specific to the motor variation, as well as which series of electronics is in the rest of the machine. Its best to just look for a complete motor from a donor machine, or bite the bullet...

I hate being a wet blanket (well sometimes, but not trying to be here) but in all honesty, if you wanted a quiet unit, this one will likely never be able to meet your wants there. Also, this thing will get much louder over time, as these don’t use a filter, it’s a “true cyclonic” unit and all of...

We had a canister when I was little. Mom and dad preferred the canister’s flexibility over an upright. Dad grew up with a central vac, grandma always had one during my life. My mom’s mother always had an upright and a shop vac. They use the shop vac like a canister, never understood why not just...

Please don’t cause a fire!! I assume you were running a heater off of this? That’s something you just can’t really do on an extension cord, even one rated properly. The issue is there will always be voltage drop in the cord, unless it has EXTREMELY thick wires. This voltage drop causes the...

Which vault? There are simply so many, I’ve by no means seen them all, but once I gain some curiosity I tend to have little trouble finding out what’s inside. I too am a friend of the Oompa Loompas, and I can tell you, the biggest secret is: Mr Wonka has no secrets.

But the real trick is Knowing what’s behind a door without bothering to open it...

Who cares what’s in the cards... It’s all about what keys you have in your hand.

I’d love to find one someday too. And Denver might have one waiting for me somewhere!!

But in all honesty this will never be a terribly quiet machine, and the motor may also be louder than is should be if the motor fans have a lot of filth in them, which is extremely common on these VacuMaids.

You can line the inside of the motor section of the can with sound insulation. But two things, don’t put any on the motor itself, and DO NOT block the vents in any way! That motor gets hot and you don’t want to be keeping the heat inside there.

Nice! We have a Whirlpool DD set from 2005. I’ve made a few small repairs to the washer over the years, but it’s been a good set, and does wash well. Better than most new machines!
