Weird things come out in the rain.

 So I was driving to work today and saw this thing. At first I didn't know what this was. I got closer to it, and I saw it had ears. Got a little closer, and it had a tail. Thinking to myself what the hell is that? Well I finally pass it, it's a damn RV pig! Ha ha. I couldn't believe I was actually seeing this. What would make someone think to themselves, hey, you know what I'm gonna convert my RV into a pig! Washington state, is damn weird.

Happy wife, happy life.

 It's funny I heard this saying from Ice-T. It took me a little bit to actually figure it out. Well now I know this is true. So Melissa, has been saying she's been wanting these shoes. I was like whatever. So our friend went out and bought these shoes, and told Melissa about them. Great! Just what I needed more pressure to go get these shoes. So Melissa, had said that she put these shoes on hold at the store. She wanted me to go before work and pick them up. Well yesterday I was running late so I couldn't pick them up. She seemed disappointed but understood. So I thought to myself, fuck it I will go today before work and get them. So I go to the store and ask for the shoes. They still had them.

 Well the rest is history. I texted Melissa, and told her I got them for her. She said, "You got a brownie point" So that means happy wife, happy life.

 Go do something for your wife, or girlfriend, and see how the little things (even if she drops big hints) goes a long way.

These shoes are called. Western Chief Petals Romeo.

 I guess these shoes are hard to find online or something? That's what our friend told me. Till next time.

Cherry blossoms.

Move on.

 I saw this picture and I thought to myself, why couldn't I have found this months ago! Especially, when I was going through all that bullshit with my "best friends".

I know I have posted a lot of pictures of sunsets, and clouds. But hey I like it.

Vacuum mishap.

 So Melissa, told me that our upstairs vacuum wasn't working anymore, and that it wasn't sucking anymore. Yes we have two vacuums so we don't have to carry one up and down the stairs constantly. I would recommend that for you as well. Anyways, I had to wait until the weekend, to work on it. I grab the vacuum, plug it in and turn it on. Just to make sure it actually worked. It doesn't have any suction at all. I take it down stairs. Go grab some tools form the garage, and I start pulling this thing apart. The first thing I looked at was the canister. Melissa, had emptied that already. As I was looking at all the hose's, and tubes. I didn't find anything that was wrong. I looked at the filter, and it was dirty but not as dirty as it had been before. I laid the vacuum down, and checked the hose attached to the roller brush. It was clear too. I was like what the fuck. I set the vacuum upright, and some dust fell down from where the canister attaches. I take a closer look, and I saw this fur ball thing sitting there. I was like how the hell did this get there?

 I start feeling around up there, to see if there was a way to detach this thing. I twist thing and pull it down.

We have cats now. So that is fur, and hair. The card board stuff that looks like rat's nest, is actually the cats scratching pad chunks.

 I realize that this was in fact another filter, and obviously, I had never ever cleaned this. Due to the fact, I actually didn't know it was there! Ha ha. So I cleaned this filter thing off.

 Wow what a difference. I put all these parts back together. I even took off the cover for the rolling brush as well. I get it all back together, and what do you know? It works, and it sucks better than it had since it was new. Ha ha. I washed, and cleaned all these parts off, before I put them back in the vacuum.

 So my advice, is if your vacuum is not sucking anymore, and before you pull all these parts off, check to see if you have another filter that is clogged. That will save so much time and effort. Oh well at least it was something simple, and not a broken vacuum. Sometimes it "sucks" to be the handyman. Ha ha, till next time.
