I arrived in North Canton without any problems at all. I found the perfect place for the orange British senior convertible where else would it be but at Tom Anderson’s house with all the rest of his British vacuums yay!

Tomorrow, we will go and do the "Canton Circuit", estate sales, thrift stores, etc.

Tonight, I was able to complete my "Convertible" spec sheets with perfectly correct info....straight out of the Hoover books.

Stay tuned............................

looks much better in Tom's house than it did at the 'palace'. There is a long, difficult story behind that machine. Suffice it to say,  I'm glad it is out of my house.  Although a great machine, it reminded me of sad events.  Now, I can visit it with it's other cleaners from "across the pond".

We went to an estate sale,  they had DDs and a Rainbow.NEXT !!  We did the thrift store thing.  I got DAM bags, Windtunnel belts, and canister belts,  an entire $.90

Wow.   The Football Hall of Fame is having a huge event tomorrow.  We'll be out of town.  Will is coming tonight.  It'll be fun, no doubt.

  I did fill my car with some fun items from Dick Pike's and a few things from Tom.  Fun stuff.  

Pics will follow shortly.

Yes.  I, too, have made a new friend,  I'm very glad.

I got a practically, if not NEW ,NESCO frypan.  I also have 2 more vault machines: a Floor A Matic, and the commercial Conquest.  Let's all take moment to say, "Wow'.  I'm bringing lots of  Hoover non-floor care appliances to serve as gifts, raffle items, and prizes for our convention next summer in Scranton.

Hoover banners, made by the company.  Some are "Time for HOOVER",  some are  HOOVER SALE , some are the great, "Nobody Does It Like You". They'll be wonderful to display. Courtesy, Dick Pike.

I still have a few hematomas  to deal with.  But, overall,   all is good.

Of my day today. making a 'Pittston". treat. yummy beverage.  We found a "hybrid" set of attachments.  Inside is an almost never used "Convertible" with rear conversion with the handle "hose end" of a front conversion tool set.  Either it was done "perfectly" in a vac shop, or freak factory creation. Nonetheless, it was a great find.....an extremely rare surprise, and under $8.00 "Happy Dance".

There are many beautifully restored Hoover vacuum cleaners. Will is very meticulous when it comes to restoring his cleaners. They look beautiful and they run beautiful. "Flower Power" cleaners, discussions about details (on the vintage shag rug), and, of course, running a 69. You know you can always use a good 69.   Right?  What???

With the Hoovers. And there with the others! Oh lighten up kids I know what you’re thinking. "Location, Location, Location".

Crumbs.    Using a "kickstand". Handivac.

Wearing our matching Hoover shirts standing next to Will’s Hoover sign.  Indeed,  we are "Happier With A Hoover".

This says it all!  Light as a feather,  it sat on my hand, with ease. This cleaner is OVER 50 years old, looks, runs, performs like it did the day it came out of the box.

  Now, who is REALLY surprised?  Just as I guessed:  nobody.  I see no hands in the air.  

Thanks, Will, for a great time at your 'mid-century' home.  A great time was had by all.

Tomorrow, I'll return home.

   More to follow.  G'night, All!!!!

All of Canton,  Ohio is a buzz this weekend.  

If football is your thing,  here is your place.  It was insane here with all of the football 'stuff'. 

But, today;  "Happy Birthday, HOOVER".

  I'll be heading home soon.  Thanks, again,  to Tom, Heather, Glenn and Will.  It was a great time , as usual.

  Now,  back home to reality. 

Tom and I went on a 3 mile walk, through the Hoover Trail,  down around all of the Hoover buildings, and back up to the house.  People were beginning to visit the pool,  Hoover High School was standing there, and joggers  and walkers were about, getting their exercise. 

It was done by a pro.  There is NO evidence of a home made job here.  Someone certainly knew what he/she was doing.  

I've never seen anything like this before. 

 "Fun".
