straight for jugular
Ada has a knack for finding the soft underbelly of both man and machine. I may have told you, but I received our refurbed Eureka the other day. I couldn't wait to get started sucking on our beautiful carpet. The thing fired up with a roar. Thought there was a 4 banger in there at the very least. Slow and low, that is the tempo. The brush pulls so strongly. Had to reign in the power, show it who's master and creator. On thrust #2, the wheel rolled off, and with that the mission failed. I went today to purchase a new hubcap for my baby, and tapped her into place like a seasoned mechanic. It's on now. So with the flip of the switch, ada goes absolutely nuts. Having been roller burned on the kisser, she immediately lunged for the air hose, a shark in national geographic attacking the man in chainmail. Didn't notice any "bleeding", but I think for the safety of all involved, Ada needs to stay outside during the operation of big powerful scary machines.

I just wanted to let you all know that the new vaccuum is not a lemon as it may have sounded. Once we replaced the $.35 hubcap we were back to working and the thing is awsome. It picked up about 3/4 cup of dirt and hair out of the downstairs area. I would rate it as one of our best purchases for the price ($99.35).
It also drives in a straight line and the onboard tools don't fall out every 5 seconds like my old vaccuum.
