    Mother's Day on Craigslist...

    Terry... ...Yes, the 'Lux has the cord winder...and no problems there. It came with one set of brushes, the shampoo brushes, some shampoo, and a furniture duster for a vacuum! :) I priced the nap-lifters on eBay....$80!!!! Yikes! My carpet is all closed loop, so it's not like I need them. I...

    Mother's Day on Craigslist...

    And Alan.... ...yup, I have to admit, Ben is a nice kitty....I'm rather proud of him, actually. He and Rudy (dog) are my buds! I never thought myself a cat person -- but you know how animals have a way of softening your heart. I love the little guy to pieces.

    Picture of the Day

    What the... "intead" should be "instead" "Interstae" should be "Interstate" "to look for to see" should be "to look far to see" ARGH! My apologies!

    Picture of the Day

    Too Funny! Nothing said about this guy in bad drag. No "You Go Girl" comment. No...intead, the validity of the nozzle (of which indeed is not an Interstae nozzle that I know of) is the focus! One does not have to look for to see where this groups priorities are! "Honey, I love you dearly...

    Thought you might enjoy seeing my Regina Water-Matic

    As soon as the batteries charge up... ...I'll post some more pics. Mine says Regina on the housing in two places. Terry, the hoses are nice, aren't they? Alas, one of them appears to be missing a fitting. And I'll scan all the doc that came with it and post it. There's a germy-thing as well...

    Thought you might enjoy seeing my Regina Water-Matic

    ...with all the tools, attachments, and instructions. Picked this up about a week ago. I'll get some better pics later, if you like. It even has the lace-edged hair dryer. Just too bad I don't have enough hair left to make it worthwhile to hook up. John

Today, hubby would have bug-eye indentations upside his head if not up elsewhere if he were to say "It's your lucky day, honey, I got you a...

    Bison on Ebay

    Still... ...$200 plus shipping for a totaled Bison and a donor machine. At that price, and amount of work, they can keep on being rare, and I'll be content to read about them in history books. (Paperback ones, from the clearance rack -- I'm cheap)

    Bison on Ebay

    Im with Joe on this one... ...hey, I like fixing stuff, doing a good repair. But if the platisc is compromised by chemicals or other things he sprayed into it -- this thing is in trouble. Especially regarding the motor housing. You can fix it...it will work for awhile, then a new crack or...

    Can you identify this hose?

    A closer shot of the gold label The quality may be a bit rugged here, as I used a sharpening mask to try to clarify the numbers a bit better, if that is of any help.

    Can you identify this hose?

    It's actually black...looks to have been modified. I have my suspicions as to what it belongs, but wanted to get some other opinions... Whattya think?
