Today, I knew that I had waited too long to clean the dust collector bag when I turned it on this morning and it blew the top bag off.

Glad that was you and not me.....must have really been a mess.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Holy cow!! I hope you don't have a basement shop like me, can't imagine that mess and LOML's reaction to the dust.

Was the collection tubing grounded at least?

women have trouble understanding Trump's MAGA theme because they had so little involvement in making America great the first time around.

+1. Is this a test? What was the bag's speed of travel when it blew? Thanks for the warning.

I'm sure the bag actually blowing off is much more impressive, but just for fun you can let one overfill maybe 25% of the upper bag. There's really no good way to empty it. DAMHIKT.

This sounds like an old "I Love Lucy" episode when her vacuum cleaner bag blew up. Too bad there's no video. It would have made a great AFV entry.
