miko2I left myself a half hour to vacuum before going to work.
The vacuum cleaner (an ancient Hoover, the kind that never dies) doesn't sound right.
I replace the bag, which is rather full, with a clean bag.
It still doesn't sound right, and something smells bad.
I turn it over. The rubber ring that drives the sweeper roll thingy has burned through and fallen off.
Okay, I have an extra handy. I take it apart. This involves, of course, cutting off all of the stringy gunk wrapped around the roller and around the part of the motor that spins to drive the roller. Luckily I have a knife handy as well.
Now my vacuum is back together and working properly... just in time for me to go to work...
