Going to Pittsburg!!!!!!!!!!!

[gottahaveahoove]

On March 17, 18, 19, I'll be in Pittsburg. I'm "presenting" at a national convention. My subject is,"Teaching English Pronunciation in a Multilingual Classroom". Not the fun part.
The fun part is, I'll be close to Sam, Norm, and Dennis. I'm coming in the college van,, so, I can't drive at night. I know Sam and I are planning to have dinner. I HOPE I can meet the others. We can't very well wheel vacuums into the convention center. But, I look forward to seeing the gang again.

That used to be

my neck of the woods.  Actually, a little north of Pittsburgh from Beaver Falls.  Hope you guys have a good time.  Wish I could be there too.

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Call it a practice run for the convention in June.   Can't wait!</span>

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Thanks, and, ditto.

So, are the 4 of us "roomies"??

 

[durango159]

Hmmm!! The weekend before I have a Home Show that my Rainbow Distributor will be set up at. So I will be starting to get quite busy after that but perhaps we could arrange one night for me to stop up and do a visit or something. Keep me informed of your ventures. You have my number.

Afterall JOHNNY, you've been referred to as my Puppetmaster, so I must obey your every command!!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

That's right, Mister!!

You know you're welcome here anytime. Well, Thursdays are bad> And, be sure not to steal anything.... Couldn't even say that w/o laughing. Where do you think you are?/ A hotel/motel? We can get out ALL of the power nozzle HOOVERS. And, we'll have spaghetti. Sound good?

[gottahaveahoove]

Jess!

Thanks. Are you anywhere near "The Weston"? That's where the convention is, and, I'll be staying there. Perhaps you can be part of the "mini meet"???

[gottahaveahoove]

Now, Zippy. may I call you Zippy??

CLEAN up this floor. Miss Jenkins said it was clean. Do YOU think it's clean?????

 

[durango159]

Ashamed of you--- my Puppet Master

The expression: " You can dress em up but can't take them out" doesn't even work for the photo above!! Look at my sloppy collar!!! Some director you are John. No one can even get me to dress properly for a good photo!!! I should've stolen that shirt since I'm so selfish and conceded inside!!!! Oh but yet as CHEAP as I am I'm willing to help you with dinner, cleanup and contribute by picking up all sorts of snacks and foods from the store. Somehow despite my selfishness I still make it on the invites list too...HMMM, HOW DOES THIS WORK?????

Additionally, can we get the floor Hoover clean with that photo??? Hmmm, I believe my hand was on a Filter Queen Majestic during this photo John!!! We'll have to run a Hoover Decade 800 or maybe we'll find one of those gorgeous burgundy Supremacys some day and we'll get that truly clean!! I think the headlights on those style hoods are fabulous.

Speaking of power nozzles, I just finished using one to clean my living room!!   Here's some hints:  <span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>


<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>A)  It's the machine below in the picture!!!


<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>B)  It Beats As It Sweeps As It Cleans!!!


I really hope you can guess what I chose to clean with tonight!!!  

Catch up to you soon John!! Thanks for the great humor!!! So glad we can laugh about these things now, in a way!!

Jess, we'll have to meet sometime!! Always great to meet new people!!

This may be totally off topic but.....here's a question for all you Hoover fans: Why did the company find it necessary to slap an ugly label on the "Bare Floor Tool"? It ruins the whole aesthetic of the on-board tool set on the canisters of that era. I mean, they did not feel the need to do the same thing for the other tools. And if Hoover felt it was really that important to label the brush, why didn't they go to the trouble of embossing the words right into the plastic like GE and Kenmore used to do?

Can the label be removed and the adhesive cleaned off without ruining the attachment?

It's really a shame, considering that is one of the best little bare floor brushes ever made!

 

[durango159]

Funny Question!!

Yes that Bare floor brush label is removable. Actually they didn't start putting the label on those tools until late 90's or so on some PowerMax and Windtunnel canisters. The bare floor brush is the same color but not same brush that would have come with that Hoover Dimension 1000. In use these stickers actually get ruined. They are strictly stickers and with some oil or Goo gone the adhesive will wash off once sticker is removed.

I have no idea what possessed them label it. Technically it's a multipurpose brush for ceilings, walls and bare floors.
