THE MOST HELPFUL POST YOU ARE GOING TO FIND FOR DEALING WITH THE NEATO VAC MESSAGE 

"DUST ME OFF SO I CAN SEE"

I searched all over trying to find a solution for this. Tech support and forums had a few ideas but no one on the forum had any of them work. My Neato Pet Allergen Robotic vacuum is back running ship shape. This is what I did.

I had cleaned the drop sensor window multiple times but error message still came up. I then got a thin knife and easily pried the sensor cover up, it came out very easily. I cleaned both sides. I blew in the hole to free up any dust that may have been there. I did this for each sensor.

Then I went ahead and pulled out the dust bin and wiped out the compartment with a damp paper towel.
There are 2 black guide wheels right behind the brush guard. Mine were not spinning freely so I got needle nosed pliers and cleaned the debris that had wound its way around.

I then removed the brush bar and cleaned all the areas there, pulling out dog hair that was trapped and wound around the spindles.

I read online that any label that was coming lose on the unit could also somehow catch the lasers eye and register, I had a few labels that were curling up so  removed them all.

 

I had not realized that there is a sensor on top of the unit that rotates when the unit is moving. It is under a purple cover. This cover I did not remove but did, push a q tip thru to dust off that lens.

 

I put the vacuum back on the charger ,waited a little while, then set it to clean house. It ran perfectly, with no more error messages.

 

I never did any of the turning it off, rebooting it, or software upgrades, because 9 times out of 10 that crap never works.

 

Anyway I sincerely hope this works for you.

 

I absolutely love my Neato Vac. I don't know how I ever made it with out it.

A RUSSIAN FAIRY TALE BY CELESTIAL ELF--- THANK YOU

MARY KAY MAYHEM

I decided to really try and make a go of my Mary Kay Hobby . I love the product but was selling very little. So I stepped it up a notch. I did 2 parties, 2 craft fairs, and a parade. I am hoping to get more customers and make a little extra income. Also the craft fairs are not to expensive and you meet lots of new people.

 my first ever craft fair.

 

 

The parade was a waste of time, no one came near me. I had my 4runner all done up cute with lights and had the dogs dressed up.  It was a great display. I figure those Santa fe heifers would be more likely to eat the lipstick than wear it.

CHRISTMAS ON THE BOAT

Normally I am a major Christmas person . We decorate the house with lights, we have a Christmas tree in every room and we have a huge Christmas party. This year no matter what I did, I just couldn't get in the spirit of the holidays. So we decided to have a quiet Christmas on the boat just the dogs and my husband and I.

My husband put lights on the boat and I decorated the deck and interior. It was very cozy and fun.

We ended up having company for dinner every night. We also had some people join us for a Christmas cruise.

 

RUSSIAN CHRISTMAS DINNER

On a boat there isn't a lot of room to cook a Christmas dinner. Taking full advantage of this I made reservations at Russian House in downtown Austin. It is one of my favorite restaurants. Two of our live aboard neighbors joined us. 
The food is fabulous and the ambiance is just perfect.

THE CHILDREN WERE NESTLED ALL SNUG IN THIER BEDS CHRITMAS MORNING

Christmas morning on the boat.

DIRTY DAWG

 

Our dog Sally is infamous for finding disgusting stuff to roll in. She decided to do this just as we were loading up to drive to the boat. Let me tell you that dog got stinker every mile of that 4 hour drive. Once we got to Austin it was freezing and there was no way we could give her a bath on the dock. The next day we found Dirty Dog do it yourself dog wash.

I was impressed. They had everything you could need and then some and it really wasn't to expensive, The dogs even liked it.
