Poor Rob!!!!!
We let him do his "demo" for the Filter Queen. I have my own HOOVER dirt meter. We put it on a 1964 Convertible. It pulled out lots of dirt. Granted, this hall runner was destroyed by the carpenters (never took up that rug). Then, we used a Decade 800. Poor ZIPPY sat in defeat. Yes, the 1964 Convertible and a 1980's Decade 800, and a Concept beat the arse off the F. Queen. Tom...... another TRIUMPH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Do I bash? NO. But, do I gloat??? Well, maybe just a little. Ok, maybe a lot!

It all became too much for Bill to handle
It was his first mini meet, you know. He had to lie down with an ice pack on his head.

Even poor Arthur
couldn't take it anymore. Ice pack for him, too.

The green/white Junior Deluxe in reply #11 was made in France, even more international than you thought
I was actually using an identical one yesterday and it is always good to hear the "Hoover thump" which tell you rugs are getting really cleaned

Al! Thanks for the info.
And, you are so right. Had I known about the vac from France, I'd have made crepes on one of the HOOVER crepe makers. 3 years ago, we had HOOVER fondue, one with cheese and bread, the other with chocolate and fruit.
Rick B called during the festivities, and Mike and Loel called. Joe K missed it. So, we even had members in 'absentia'.
Bill and Rob woke up early, as I had to get to school. WE had fruit, coffee, (h chocolate for me) juice and sodabread. Then, they went up the street, and I went down. It is a humid 70 degrees here today. I believe it's going to rain (looks like a 4 Excedrine Monday).WE all had a great time. They know they are welcome back anytime. That'll be it for the minimeets for a while. The convention is rapidly approaching. Zippy is moving, so he is storing a few HOOVERS here. MAYBE he'll get them back!
Minimeets are always fun things to attend and host. They can be simple or much more involved, like the last one. They can be a lot of work, especially when you do them by yourself. There is NO ONE behind the scenes organizing these, contrary to rumor. The guys will post more pictures soon, I'm sure.
Upon leaving, Bill gifted me an electric knife and a HOOVER Junior. Perhaps he was just grateful that he survived his first meet unscathed. They'll be cherished here along with vacuums like the one that belonged to our dear "Terry". Stay tuned....................

That just looks like TOO much fun! Great pics there.
One can NEVER have too much fun!
WE always have a great time when we all meet up. Good friends, good food, respect, kindness, and HOOVERS.... a great recipe. Thankfully, NO drama.

Rob vacuumed this rug in the hallway for a good 15 minutes with his brand new Filter Queen.......he's appalled at how much dirt it left behind that a 40 year old HOOVER is pulling out!
