Coffee was RUINED this morning = Film at Eleven!
All I did was go down to the basement to put a new boot into my 1957 Tower Top when I started a wash in my 1949 Streamliner since I had successfully repaired the timer. Well I was yanking the old oil bellows out of the water bellows and I had set my 1943 MIT coffee alumni mug down on the 1956 GE Filter Flo. When all of a sudden the 1949 Streamliner went into final spin but the clothes had lumped up and there were jeans in there. OY VAYS MERE! The Streamliner started hopping all around and yanking the platform with it which caused the 1956 GE next door to act like it was spinning unbalanced and so the 1943 MIT jiggled right off the 1956 GE onto the CONCETE FLOOR and smashed in a 1,000 pieces just as I arrived from across the basement to save the day.

Hi Jon, It sounds like you are not having the best of days there. It only has to get better!! Terry

Oy ve!!!!!!

Sounds like the Streamliner had too much caffeine. No more laundry for you today; could be dangerous! ;-)

But at least you have a 1957 Control Tower, a 1956 Filter-Flo, a 1949 Streamliner and a basement!

Sorry to hear that Jon! It's a shame the MIT mug broke, but glad to hear nothing else was damaged!

Sorry about the coffee mug, thank goodness you may be able to replace it. But let's get back to the jeans balling up in the Streamliner... Could it be the tub design, the angle of the tub, one way tumbling???

Westinghouse's don't tangle Greg! Where did you ever get that idea!

Thank you Louis and Peter Al is my little joy in life.

So I'll say: IT was Jetcone, in the basement, with the bad loading technique ;) Al is adorable!

I'm sorry about your mug, Jet. Hope you get a replacement soon! What is a 1949 Streamliner?

1949 Streamliner

Yeah, I was wondering what that was, too

Jon, I am so sorry about the mug. A bad meaning for a mug shot. But Al is there to save the day and calm the fretted nerves!! I hope by this evening you will have calmed down enough so you could experience the therapeudic relaxation of a load of sox tumbling away, how about the Duomatic!! Bob

I'm usually more of a cat person, however

Al is utterly, totally adorable.

Sorry about the mug.

thank you all

I have recovered and am well on my way to replacing that Mug!
jmirawm: I think Robert would agree with you on the loading technique but it says in the manual to drop clothes into the cylinder and hit start............

Thank you all for taking to Al especally you Cat lovers. He is a delight!
