Sucking it up

Guy at work has given me a Dyson vacuum cleaner... Its broken, I have putted it apart and worked out that his Wife has used it to suck up plaster dust and other stuff from a building site and the motor has burnt out. All connections are working and have voltage running through them. So i looked on line and i can found a motor for about $60 plus postage. Now a New Dyson is anywhere between $500 -$1000. A second hand one your still looking at $200-400 easy. So if i can fix this for under $100. I think i have done well. but if i still dont fix it i can sell it for parts and make money on it (might get back my $60) So i think with i little time it is worth the effect.

On other news no swimming today, Have hockey tonight and i will go for a long warm up run before hand.


Didn't do my 5km run last night I had to keep Little Miss and OH busy so we look the dogs (instead of there run with me ) to the beach for a big swim and about a 4km walk. So not a bad ending to the day.
