Waaalt! Waaalt!

John bought a wet/dry vacuum recently. His air conditioner had started to leak and he wanted a quick and easy way to clean it up if needed. We actually tried to get a vacuum twice before he finally bought what he was looking for. We went out to Home Depot on our first try. As we were parking in their parking lot, the weather sirens started going off. We walked into the store to be greeted by an announcement over the loud speaker saying that everyone was supposed to report to the break room. So, our options were to cower in the break room (above ground) with everyone else or we could leave. We left. The break room wasn't going to be any safer than the rest of the building. On our second try, we stopped at Wal-Mart, but their selection was lacking some. We went back the next day to Home Depot and bought what he had attempted to buy the first time.

Anyway, after he opened the box and started using it, John came to the conclusion that it reminded him a little of a baby elephant he could drag around by the trunk. He brought it over this weekend and used my garage to clean out his car (given that mine is at the body shop...poor car). While he was over, I made some eyes, which we stuck on the vacuum. I think it does look surprisingly like an elephant. Perhaps we need to move the "tusks" to the front though.

We decided to name it Walt. It sounded like a good name for an elephant-vacuum. So, here is Walt, John's baby-elephant-vacuum:

Now we can be like Michael (in the show Lost) and run around frantically yelling Waaalt! Waaalt!
