I think it's a food dehydrator used for packaging full meals into pills so you can eat on the run.

It's part of a vacuum, so you can keep the house clean. :)

Nice of Mrs. Nomad to get you one.

It kind of looks like a blow dryer for a motorcycle. Could be wrong though.

A device that can blow hot air on either you or an object.............I believe I had the right answer first.;)

I thought so but then I thought you might have meant a heater of sorts.

Bunny its for when you wash it you just blow dry it instead of spending 2 hrs with a rag. It evaporates the water like in a car wash. Gets in all the nooks.

Thanks Nomad. Ha-I would have made you use a rag, kept you busy for 2 hours.....wax on!

:-6

Now, how would you wash it? You just don't get out the garden hose and all, like you do with a car, the motor is right there......I might as well ask, I always thought they never washed a motorcycle........:)

And what do you do with a motorcycle in the winter? You can't ride it on the ice and all. I never see one around here, only when the weather is nice. That's when the boats come out too. But that is off topic......:wah:

I actually saw a guy on his bike last week. The temp was like 9 deg. NUTS !

Its in the garage.

I use a spray cleaner and then rinse. Heavy wax on the paint so nothing can touch it.

Then Ive got chrome cleaner but Ill get all the water spots off with the dryer then Ill only have to use that once or twice a year.

And yes a hose, its all waterproof. (almost)

:) Thanks Nomad, I always was curious about that. And it's almost waterproof, very cool.

I remember you picking out gadgets to adorn your motorcycle, did you always want to ride one, and never did? Does the missus go out with you riding?

I cannot imagine riding in the cold, it is hard enough to take my daily walk when it is cold and below freezing.

She used to have a boyfriend that would terrorize her on his.

So baby steps.
