    What I took a vacation day for yesterday

    Yes Hans, the idea of a Quik Broom with a Powernozzle was a novel idea, just bad pricing! These retailed around $79-$89 from what ads I have, for that price you could've had a bottom to midline Convertible. The only PN Quik-Broom I'm missing now is the Wards Jiffy Vac with the Power II...
