He's beautiful! Are you going to get a Bengal too? Glad you are taking lots of time with him.

How good does one of those things work for drying a car after washing? My two acres of leaves can rot where they lie, but I could use an easier way to dry my car.

I might be rather cautious using this one for that task.
The air velocity is> 200 mph which is capable of breaking off parts.
I'm sure a smaller unit would work just fine.

I don't know about drying the car but it works great for cleaning the garage and shed!

I use mine to dry my cars and it works fine. Just follow up with a micro-fiber towel to dry up any remaining droplets.

My leaf blower works like a broad brush when drying the car, it takes most of the water off. For really good results after using the leaf blower I use my compressor with an air gun attachment for the smaller hard to get to places (i.e. headlight and taillight seams, fuel door, trunk and hood channels, etc.) and then finish with an absorbent cotton towel.

^^^^He’s a cute cat, Patty. Once he's beyond his inhabitations and you’ll become the center of his life.

Thanks is there a particular brand or model (electric) that you'd recommend?

Another weekend of catch up around the house AFTER more grandkid duty that wasn't all that much fun. Granddaughter was banned from electronics use due to not following Mom's "what to do/not to do" list when watching her brother. She was rather miserable and bored; guess I got punished too. Grandson decided he was too old to hold my hand or even let me grab a little bit of shirt in a busy parking lot for safety and he was putting up a struggle. Not usual behavior but I wasn't having it. I'm too old to put up with that crap.

Appropriate action taken, his Dad informed, and there will be less video game time this evening.

I was happy to send them home. I'm starting to think grandkids are just like your own. Lots of work until age two, fun from age two until six, not so bad for a couple more years, but if female and beyond age 12, Ick.

I'm off next weekend, which is good, and I'm sure I will be happy to see them the following weekend. Out to dinner shortly. I wish I drank, because I think I need a drink.
