They have the laces replaced with a zipper for dat emergency call speed. Put new Vibram soles on 'em and I've had them for years.

One of the guys at work says he got an Oreck for his wife. She loves it. She vacuums the house at least once a day.

While undoubtedly true, I'd just like to point out that the thread title refers to "useless junk" and I suppose I took it literally, to my everlasting shame.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Wed Feb 06, 2019 2:15 pmOn the fun scale of 0-10 this is a .5 vs. typical Waxer Amazon order of weapons and electronics, usually at least an 8.

Our Oreck has been great. Powerful and light at ~8 lbs. It's 22 years old now and has needed only 1 belt replaced, which is about a 5 minute job. It was a bit spendy initially at a bit over $400 in 1997 doll hairs, but it came with a free, smaller hand vac and both still work great. It shows no sign of slowing down so in the long term it's become a rather purchase.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Feb 06, 2019 2:52 pmOreckwap wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 10:15 pm Let's see...just got a delivery from Amazon of some shit:

We have to vacuum daily here with how bad michelle’s dog sheds. I’d like to get a roomba that’ll just clean it all up during the day so I don’t have to come home to our wood floors looking like we have carpet.

Super small, lightweight, and disappears on your pocket when you don't want a holster on your belt. Also packs a good punch at the same time. Lastly, revolvers always go bang and have far less jamming issues.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Wed Feb 06, 2019 4:38 pmWhat was the deductive reasoning on choosing this as your primary EDC?CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Wed Jan 30, 2019 9:22 pm

I actually use that for my dog when she is off leash. Better than yelling her name to call her back if needed.

Some stuff showed up today. Nothing too exciting, but stuff.
Some Porsche stuff, some basic supplies:
Front to back:
(2) "dummy keys" for the 911, one in GT Silver, one in Black. Kinda disappointed in the GT Silver unit, it looks really close to the generic gray one you get with the car. Probably should have ordered Red like I thought.
Oil drain plug tool
Socket for the brake caliper disassembly
(3) bottles of Hyde's Serum rust stopper for brake rotors when you wash the car to prohibit rust from forming on the rotors.
Replacement bottle of Gummi Pfledge Stift.
(2) oil filters with gaskets and drain plugs
Castrol alloy paste for the centerlock wheels
Calcium/Rust/Lime remover for some other tasks on the JL (mostly invisible waterspots on the tinted glass)
(6) Mercury Quasar 1 liter dual action spray bottles.
(2) Porsche 1 quart/liter oil bags that velcro into the Frunk. After my BMW experience I will keep some oil on me, just in case.
Porsche windshield shade for parking in the sun.
Rancho front diff glide plate for the JL to protect the front diff drain bolt.

She'll be the best dressed pup at day care
It came in. It's very thick for a sweater, double material. The buttons have leather surrounds so hopefully it actually lasts. It doesn't flap up in the wind nearly as bad as her other jackets do. And very good chest/belly coverage. We're leaving one side buttoned, pulling her leg through, and buttoning the other which isn't too much of a pain in the ass.
She wasn't shivering in 20F temps with this on. She's also not eating it. Win.

Had a dentist appointment today. Hygienist and dentist both saw a noticeable difference with the electric toothbrush. Felt like she was scraping way less too. Pretty cool since I only had it 1 of the 6 months since my last appointment. Excited to see how it is for this next cycle having it for the full six months between visits.

They really do make a difference.
