Hello everyone. This episode is really short, it's just a shout out to say that yes I'm still here :). Had some life complications but I think things have settled down enough where I can get back into the swing of things.

On this episode, I hint towards an interview I did and hope to put on a future episode. I also do a short interview with Kristi, and I mention me possibly doing a personal podcast where I would be talking about my other intertersts and where I'll be doing future interviews with my daughter.

Next one will be a full, regular show :)

Here is an article which tells you exactly how to unshrink wool.

When wool gets wet and warm, the fibres in the wool lock themselves together and don't want to let go, resulting in shrinkage (you can get wool warm or wet, but not both), which kind of makes washing wool garments a dangerous business.
To un-shrink the wool, soak the garment in warm water with a mild wool friendly soap for about 10 minutes. This unlocks the fibres in the wool. Then lay the garment out on some towels in a cool place. Stretch the garment out to its original dimensions. The stretching pulls the unlocked wool fibres away from each other. Once this is done relax and allow your wool garment to dry. The absence of heat from the drying process allows the wool fibres to set in place without locking together and shrinking the garment again.

A few months ago I purchased the Hoover Mach 5 vacuum cleaner from Walmart for around $160 at Walmart. I was looking for a replacement for our Hoover Fold Away. The Fold Away did not have much suction power, and the filter clogged quickly. I originally sought out to buy a Hoover Fusion, which has Dyson-like cyclonic filtering technology. I discovered that the Fusion had been discontinued and replaced with the Mach 3. The Mach 3 has a cyclonic main filter and a washable pre-filter. It comes with a turbo brush tool, dusting brush, 2 extension wands, and a crevice tool. The turbo brush excels at removing pet hair, but I have found that it needs servicing once in a while. The pet hair tends to wrap around the ends of the brush where it rotates, eventually preventing it from rotating. It can be cleaned by disassembling it with a Phillips screwdriver. The Mach 5 improves on the Mach 3 by adding a HEPA filter, a dual chamber cyclonic filter, a retractable power cord, an adjustable handle, and a brush roll control. Cord rewind is a nice feature that reels in the cord at the press of a button. No more rolling up the power cord. Another nice feature is that the brush roll automatically turns off when the Mach 5 is in upright position. The Mach 5 offers many of the same features as a Dyson much less money. There are no filters to replace, and no loss of suction.
