I thought about the Lil T going to Home Depot looking for black ceiling paint. "Yeah boy, it goes on black and dries blue" I was LOLing when I thought of that
Lil T got a new gig boy, he does woodworking on the side now, he takes wood putty, molds it into a lil Regal's with 24''s boy. Then sands em down and sells em for $3 dolla
Is it a push button switch? If so, you might have accidentally kicked it on. My Kirby has a button that you hit with your foot, so there's no way to tell if it's on or not without plugging it in.
