Mikie said . . .


My dryer doesn't work all that well - it seems to take a LONG time to dry a load. It's fairly new, I was thinking that the problem might be with the ventilation. Mikie suggested I use my leaf blower to blow all the lint out of the wall vent. So I did. I looked outside to see if my house was covered in lint - but I didn't see anything. While I had the dryer away from the wall I thought I'd clean out the tubing. Hmmm . . . what to do, what to do. Ah!! The leaf blower! I took the tubing outside - turned on the blower . . . oh my! There was a lot of . . . . stuff in there!!! And then I was thinking, hmmmm. What else could I use the leaf blower for - since I have it out already? I have a cat - the cat creates a lot of hairballs that collect behind the couch, behind the piano, under the TV cabinet. I have tile floors and french doors in the living room. Ha!!! I opened the doors, turned on the leaf blower and blew it all out of the house! I really hope I didn't create a high pollution advisory for tomorrow!

They did that at one of the warehouses I worked at. Blew all the dust out from under the racks and into the air. And then settling down on everything. They only did that once.

Would a cat land on it's feet after being flung at birds from a slingshot? I say no.

What a flung cat would be doing.

kent has put wire mesh over ALL of the vent holes in the eaves. the birds have been pretty unhappy about that and even managed to poop on his bedroom window. clever, evil things.
