What I wouldn't give for a stepson like you!

I never heard of a shop vac with a side outlet. Does this mean that I could
cut a hole in the side of my shop vac and get some gaskety thingies at Home
Depot or Ace Hardware and a long hose to attach to the hole? Then, after
removing various sticks and twigs deposited in my pond by Frances, I could
plug in my adapted shop vac, run the hose to a flower bed, and suck away.
Would this work? If so it would be a boon when oak leaves, acorns, and oak
flowers are falling faster than I can scoop them out (at least half the
year).

I clean my stepmothers pond with my shop vac which has a side outlet that
can be opened.....I then just put the vac on it's side propped up and I
never have to empty. I couldn't imagine having to shut it off and dumping
it every few seconds.
