And......
I too have nothing to gain or loose by posting this. I have for various reasons have stayed quiet and watched all of this unfold over the last few months.
Now I would like to put in my two cents here, and possibly submit a vote on this issue.
Dear Jeff P.,
I miss your wisdom so much. I hope you and I can talk again someday when you are in the mood for a good coffeetawk...now that you are a NS. (non-smoker) which props to you. Im in the beginning stages...grrrrrrrrrrr.
The point of my post is this:
I know it may be hard to believe, but I did learn many valuable things from you...as I have explained to Kyle and others...that took me too many years to put into a proper perspective. At least in the past dealing with vacuum things online.
And summararily grow, learn and be a better person for that from those lessons that you shared with me so long ago dealing with vac-u-drama.
I will say that everytime I need to use a modifier to describe a (insert individual here) with unfortunate diarreah of the mouth, soul and spirit...the word BLATHER always , always comes to mind almost immediatly bar none. I think of you and how you first said it to me so many years ago,back out when you lived in Seward Neb.
I will tell you to the last day I have..man that was a memorable time for me.. Thanks for being a good guy. And for the most part tolerating..if for a time my young naiveity and stupidity that I must have displayed to you and others.
It was so wonderful then for me to have someone like you back when I was a young vac collector wide eyed and dreamin of being allowed to be included in this promised land stash that was told to me as well thru SO many phone calls with alledged stories told by some to pass time .
All I really wanted, and needed to do was learn and possibly obtain a few oldies for onesself. How far i've come to today. Now I get to pass on the goods to the new ones and just be a good freind. Ironically the lesson you are trying to instill here in this post categorically fits for the same person. And it still makes me laugh when I get to say it whomever the dupe needing that modification.
By the way...I vote that you put this ALL into perspective. Coming form a original true blue vacuum guy who is still #1

P.S. YES...the Golden PowerMaster Kyle saw earlier today is the one that you gifted to me. And NO it will never be out of my hands. That's one thing that I can always promise you.
