Vacuum motor problem?

The vacuum was not working correctly and I assumed that the motor needed to be replaced.  But it was still working and sparking.  It this okay or does this need to be replaced?  I have no clue so I am still using it.

There was a clog inside the vacuum.  I had to pull the hose out and clean it out.  This has never happened to me before.  I cleaned the vacuum out the other day and it was only half full so it was surprised.

Cleaning buckets

I could not decide to throw the buckets away or keep them and take up all the equipment room space.  I decided to clean the buckets and keep them.  I am not sure why though.  They should come in handy someday maybe.

Cut the side yard

I cut some of my side yard today.  My Dad and Greg said it looked bad.  But my lawn mower and weed eater are in the shop.  So my Dad loaned me his weed eater.
