kenmore model 116

For some reason, when I clicked in the title bar today, the phrase "kenmore model 116" popped up as a choice.  At first I couldn't figure it out, but now I remember that is the make and model of my vacuum--the one that Stu had to replace.  Twice.  The first time it did legitimately blow up on its own.  Burned out the motor.  Stu ordered one we thought would replace it off ebay.  It didn't work, but Stu thought he could rig it to work.  In the middle of his rewiring attempt, I switched it on--frying the thing.  Don't worry.  I didn't fry Stu.  So, back to ebay for another vacuum.  I haven't ruined it yet.  :)
