How about Volume Two: other uses for your Vest compressor...

I hate to admit this but I have used our Vest compressor hose (AFTER PT is

completed of course) for:

1. A quick computer keyboard fix (there is nothing better for blowing Rice

Krispies out of the keys).

2. A quick dust-off of the tabletops, lampshades and picture frames in THE

most-used room in the house... especially when your Mother-in-Law is in your

driveway about to ring the bell.

3. A good blast of air in the face of the drooling pets will allow you to

have a peaceful meal/snack anywhere in your house.

4. A quick no-heat hair dry after a shower on a hot Summer Day.

I have found numerous uses for the compressor that powers Jack's Vest only

for his entertainment (he's almost 3 years old and still HATING his Vest)

and I try desperately to make his one hour of " being hooked-up " every day

more tolerable. His favorite end of the " morning routine " is to use the

Vest-end of the hose to blow our dog's ENORMOUS ears back, then his hair

back and pretend that they're both in a race car! Hope you all can picture

how hard we laugh!!
