Among othr things we did today,Al,one of my favorite co-workers,and I drove to Hilo and went to yard,garage,and retail sales.At Starvation Army,I found a complete vacuum cleaner tagged at $25.We frequent this particular store and have helped the employees there in repairing different appliances.Sally,the owner,without telling me,reduced the price to $10!!!!!She said she thought it was missing one of the filter tubes.I checked it out completely and there was no filter missing at all.I think she thought the dirt cup had one.The Dirt Devils do but not the Bissells.It's realitively quiet but powerfull.We also went scuba diving at 1200 feet and got some great photos of the undersea wildlife and found a few nice shells.We also surfed and got some fireworks to shoot off in Wiepio (YPO) Valley next Thursday night.
