June 8, 2014: I recently went to an auction where I went head to head with a woman, fiercely bidding on a shop vac. It later occurred to me that this may have revealed a slight character flaw where I was willing to totally throw down with a 60 year old woman, just because I might be just the tiniest bit competitive. I came home with this shop vac, and thought, “WTF?” Well, that was then. I used it for the first time today, and I am completely flummoxed as to how I went 51 years without one! I will NEVER remove a spider web by hand again! I mulched, I vac’d, I was BAD ASS, in a way I have never been before. I love my shop vac
