Thanks for getting back to me on that!

No pressure on the hood, I just wanted o finish restoring my convertible, just as long as I get it. I hope to meet you some day, you sound very fun to be around! :)
 
Hi gottahaveahoove

I'm sorry to hear about the problems, I'll keep the prayers going for you. By the way, if you are suffering from migraines, welcome to my world. Excedrin migraine is almost everyday for me. I also get 'cluster headaches,' and now, with this bitter cold, body aches. I hate getting old!


 


You and I will talk when you feel up to it, and know that I'm a mouse click away if you need me. I'm so glad you're safe, I was really concerned.

John,

I haven't posted here in awhile and didn't know you were gone. It's good to see you back and view all the pics of your fun gathering. It looks like everyone had a great time. You always host the best parties!

Hope 2014 is a much better year for you.

All the best,

Patrick
 
Yes we all had such a great time!! Really good to calm down after some rough times. The picture envelope John discovered is like a disbelief! Ridiculous what this moron is getting into causing problems, no wonder John has headaches!!! I'd have one if I received that in my front door. I did receive several headaches and horror from another source over the past few months which is hopefully now put to bed! Best wishes and prayers to you- you know who you are, as I try to live past all of the terrible lies, deceit and hounding you've done to many of us.

Welcome back to my house the fixed up machine below. Original in great shape with all attachments, badges, stickers and even the headlight lense was on it from Bill Wood. Now Chris has gone through it with a new motor bearing, new front canister wheel, handle release repair, cleanup, tune up, new brush roll, new bottom plate, hose repair as it was starting some stress tears at the handle connection, a switch over from a 3 piece wand set to a 2. This was my idea, I know it's not original to the model but I like the 2 piece with curved top wand better than 3 wands. It sounds amazing. My parents had this model growing up but by the time I was old enough to see, the power nozzle had been replaced with a Guardsman power head. I never had the chance growing up to run this machine with a power head and honestly when I was younger I thought the suction unit was too loud. But since then, now seeing the machine again and using it, I really enjoy using it. Thanks Chris for such a great job. Next time I know you'll do a great job on some of John's machine in need and also Joe Kassocks power nozzles!!

Rob,

That was one FAB cleaner to run. And, I'm not really a cannister guy, but, that was like running a Convertible! That Convertible Elite Decade 800 wannabe was just as great. You could maintain THe White House with that vacuum...all 126 rooms!

Yes, stress, depression, anxiety and that darn "spot in the back of my head" have kept Excedrin in business. I now can take my pulse, or feel the pulse there when I cough or sneeze. Isn't that a 'comfort"? Not getting "that haircut" any time soon, though.
WE compared a new Portapower with a vintage Swingwette. HOW CAN ANYONE SAY THE NEW "dusting brush" and crevice tool are better?? They're TOYS!!!!!! But, I have 2 of them. Well, one must have symmetry........... right? And, the HOOVER logo is samller than an Aspirin!!!!!
 
Sounds like a plan

It was GREAT to hear you laughing again.. and NOT at my picture, lolol. Aren't those meets "fun"? Thanks for bringing Terry's Convertible, too. Feel free to leave it here..................but be sure to take your "Eureeeka" home each time.Had to get out the "big guns" later the next day. HOOVER Guardsman!!
 
Oh my gosh...

I want to come down there so much you look like you were having so much fun! Just to let you know Hoover is my favorite company. They're just so cool and unique looking and fun to take apart and use too!
