    I Robot Vacuum

    Greetings from Palm Springs. Well I never thought I would entertain the idea of having a robot vacuum. I thought that they just couldn’t clean as well as a regular vacuum. When in Omaha for Thanksgiving Greg Nunn just had to have one and picked it up at Nebraska Furniture Mart. And I became a...

    To Hans Craig - Pig Pickin' Cake

    Well, I Made It The layers were a bit thin, but the frosting made up the height. Good to take to a Labor Day BBQ. Terry Lattz always said that you need to use a Sunbeam Mixmaster to make a cake, so in honor of him, I dug it out.[this post was last edited: 9/4/2017-23:34]

    Thrift Shop Run Yesterday

    That is why Since I have been back in Southern California for a year and a half, I have avoided LA like the plague. So far I have managed to avoid going in. It was getting bad when I lived there for 21 years but hear groans when anyone from Palm Springs has to go in.

    Central vacs

    I Put an MD Silentmaster In a hall closet in my home in LA. No basement and a detached garage. I originally had a regular MD unit but my partner worked from home and the unit was next to his office. Way too loud for him when the housekeeper was there twice a week. Replaced it with a...

    Kirby classic 111

    I Agree Rob Old is not bad. I have had a Classic III since I bought it new in Chicago around 1977(?) Sent it back to Cleveland around the mid 90's for a complete rebuild. It is still one of my favorite vacuums. It is the only vacuum in my collection that has always been out and ready for...
