PermaFLOW easily unclogs the drain

neverclogdrain-thumb-453x351-30218I once had my drain clog, and it was quite a pain. Granted, mine plugged up way down the line, but a lot of clogs happen in the bend.

I suppose this is why someone created this PermaFLOW. It is a way of unclogging the drain simply by turning this wheel and the blockage should help clear itself up.

At least, that is the theory. I wonder how well it really works.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner finally takes flight

I grew up in the Seattle area, and Boeing was quite close by. In fact, you could hear it from miles around.

I’ve been hearing about this Boeing 787 for years. It finally took its maiden flight, and guess what, there were no complications. It took off and landed, something that we all want our planes to do.

I can’t help but feel that there is probably a story here that is movie-worthy of Tucker: A Man and his Dream, or the giant plane at the end of the Aviator.
