Tuesday, February 25th, 2025 04:10 pmGarage tenant came by yesterday and as ever said, 'You need anything, just call me.' 'You got a minute?' said I, and fetched the canister of my new vacuum to see if he could twist the filter off for me. Of course he could, then replaced it and said OK, you try it. No, not a hope. Firmly locked in place. He takes it off again, shows me the little flanges that lock the thing, turns it back, gives it to me again. Nope, absolutely no dice. Luckily the filter doesn't need cleaning yet, but garage tenant is going to be untwisting this sucker for me until I move out of here, or buy a new vacuum, whichever comes first.
Had another stab at getting down the street. Still couldn't move the ice shelf in front of Pazzo Nonno's but did manage to hack a bit from 525. They have a toddler in a stroller so no idea how or why they wouldn't clear their sidewalk. Maybe out of town? But their front walk was of course cleared off. A too common pattern. Anyway, got to Fiesta, bought onigiri-- a major carb indulgence-- and Mexican asparagus. Came back and Nonno's ice had thawed enough that I was able to carve out a passable passage. My good deed and exercise for the day.
