Some of us on

"that staircase"

 

[gottahaveahoove]

"Miss Jenkins said it was clean"..

But, do YOU think it's clean??

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Kevin left with

cake.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Look at what

'this one' was taking home!!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

They all took lots more pictures

which they'll post soon. Greg, Kevin and I went to Mass today, then scrambled eggs for lunch, then home they went. It was great to see everyone again, as usual.

I think next time this calls for a trip up to PA to meet everyone- looks like a fun time was had by all!  

 

[tazcatsdad]

It looks like everyone had a terrific time!

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">And, I'm really looking forward to our "micro-meet" on June 2nd ... should be a LOT of fun!    I'm bringing with me my two British Turbopower I's (the U2194 and the U2332) as well as my Junior Deluxe and Junior Dirtsearcher and -- as a special request by Durango159 -- my Celebrity II Elite.  Also making an appearance will be my Convertible Model 70 -- the machine that's as old as I am!</span>

The mini/mega meet was...

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">As always, a wonderful time.  Such a great way to spend the weekend!  It was SIMPLY FANTASTIC!</span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"> </span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">After a 5 hour drive from Buffalo, we arrived at John's lovely home, AKA the HOOVER Hilton.  Ammenities are a joy.  We found ourselves napping on only the finest of linens............</span>

 

[papasvacs]

But- before the fun could begin.......

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Matt made sure that the "facilities" were spotless.  Not a speck of dust remained after he finished with John's Constellation.........</span>

 

[papasvacs]

Ready, set, go...............

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Let the fun begin.</span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"> </span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Rob and Joel sit amid the vast array of cleaners that arrived.   Now - does that not look like fun?</span>

 

[papasvacs]

There were eve some "foreign objects" present...

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Rob brought a Eureka and I brought me newest, a Compact C-9 with power nozzle.</span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Of course, these were kept secret from John who was elsewhere at the time.  Just wait 'til he finds out!</span>

 

[papasvacs]

Rob, our resident canister expert........

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Pronounced the Compact "adequate".   High praise indeed!  Rob "knows his stuff" when it comes to canisters with a power nozzle.</span>

 

[papasvacs]

All this happened..............

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">While our host was in the kitchen.  Lots and lots of Pittston Hospital Ice Tea was made that day.  John also made the yummiest cake........  cherry nut cake.</span>

 

[papasvacs]

Uh Oh...............

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">John found the "invaders".  Apparently, he did not care for Rob's Eureka..............</span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">But, does John bash?    Maybe just a little.............</span>

 

[papasvacs]

Matt.......

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">defends the honor of the household.  He grabbed a HOOVER, and went into action.</span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Rob, your smile will soon disappear if Matt's aim is good!</span>

 

[papasvacs]

Finally............

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Rob, suitably chastened, comes to his senses, regains sanity and gets on to happy HOOVERing.........</span>

 

[papasvacs]

All frivolity aside...........

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Master Mechanic Mike sets to work as Joe and Joel look on ...........</span>

 

[papasvacs]

There developed a theme for the day................

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">"Are Zippy's wheels really round"?     It seems that his Decade 80 wheels were not........</span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Yes, I know this is not the Decade 80.  By now it had limped over to a corner.  Checks were being made of other Convertibles.  The rest seemed fine.  But still Zippy worried!</span>
