LOL Kenny!
The "strangulation seen" that I think you're referring to Kenny is the first photo posted at the very top of this thread. In the front of that photo is a Eureka Express canister and at the top of the photo you see Mike Gravelin strangling John with a cord. That picture was from the October-- Halloween MiniMeet. I did not bring along the Eureka Express for this most recent MiniMeet. However, the Eureka RotoMatic 1784 did make the trip again this time with 2 power nozzles for it. So of course John had his ritual for ridding the house of any bad omens resulting from non-Hoover invaders to the premises!! In addition to my Eureka, Mike brought a Filter Queen and Greg bought a Compact, so there were 3 power nozzle canister invaders in the house!!
I believe this MiniMeet represented my third gathering in the area. John and I get along quite well. In addition to the 1 invader I brought this last trip I also had several Hoovers to include: Decade 80 U4159, Convertible U4413-042, power nozzle for Celebrity IV Elite and suction unit for a Dimension 1000 S3277-040. I left the MiniMeet minus one Decade 80 but plus suction unit for Celebrity IV Elite S3141, power nozzle for a Dimension 1000 S3277-040 and an entire other Dimension 1000 power team canister S3277.
So, therefore NO, John and I nor did anybody else strangle or rub one another the wrong way. We all had tons of fun. It was wonderful to meet Chris and Matt for the first time while reuniting with all of the faces of whom we've met before. LOTS of vacuums were run, lots of pictures were taken, great laughs had and of course a wonderful meal prepared by scratch from John. The hospitality and thoughtfulness to bring together 9 of us was very nice.
