Of course, I'll be attending. Would be great to see some new faces and meet other members of the club. I know there's a few "Area people" that haven't attended yet. You should make an attempt to attend. It's great fun, great food, and great conversation!!

Jon -- sorry to hear you won't be able to make it. You'll be missed.

Jason -- Look forward, as always, to visiting with you.

Bajaespuma -- Look forward to chatting with you again.

PS: Maybe with a little coaxing, I might be persuaded to bring up one or two of my latest finds to play with.

Looking good! Who else is coming?

There's a bit of space left for anyone needing to stay overnight (bring an air mattress!) which, of course, results in breakfast together the next morning!

p.s.- Scott- what? Did you or the vehicle get bigger?

Hey-

Didn't think to ask before- is anyone interested in doing a Yankee Swap that day? Or the Adoption Center like we did last year if you have some thing (or things) that you don't want but want to find a good home for?

I could go either way for the Yankee Swap, but the Adoption Center was cool. Got to give those orphans a good home!

I would love to make the trip to see you guys but my brother and I want to see some Indians.
For the last 5 years living in the mountain, we've been putting it off to see them.




And also on the 5th we want to see a DCI show in NJ that we been talking about for the same amount of time and now is the time to do it!

I that we can get together later this year to enjoy each other company! Larry

That's our thought, Brian. A place where orphans are given good homes!!

Larry- of course it's not a problem! I know you just wanna go see them shake their Native American booties at the pow-wow! We'll catch up another time, just let us know when you're available!

Scott- you asked about menu? What's your idea? It was suggested that I make jambalaya since we haven't done that in a while.

Glad to see you're comming! Are you staying here at the house or do you have a room reserved somewhere? If you are staying here then you'll need to bring a blow up mattress or sleeping bag as all are now spoken for.

Have a safe trip and we'll see ya tomorrow :-)

I had to go back into the hospital Thursday to have the 5 screws and 2 plates taken out of my ankle that I broke BAD right after Labor Day. It has not been a very nice year to walk without alot of pain, but hopefully this time it is finally over. I know I am only a few hours away and really would like to meet all you nice people. But I am glad everyone had a wonderful time, wished I could have come.

Thanks boys! That was a lovely party and as usual, ate too much, talked too much, drank too much coffee and ate too much Country Club eggs!

 

Oh,                                     Fung wah.

 

Dropped by Wegman' on the way out, and Chuck, you were right, but I did score a couple of "Kimmelweck" bagels from the bread counter. Beef on Weck tomorrow night. But you didn't tell me you have to drive 5 miles from the entrance to the store. It kind of gets your hopes up. People inside were very nice, and well trained, however. As a friend of mine used to say, I could buy that box of Tide at my local supermarket, but it wouldn't cost as much.

Hey Jason, sorry to hear your dehumidifier did not work.

I found this one on the first trip to the station. I did a test when we got back to Rick & Chuck's house. It works great! After a few minutes of running, those coils are ice cold. This one draws the moist air in from the back and expels the hot air through the front. Will take interior pics for interested parties, but I can tell you it is a nice big compressor with an FSP label on it:

The Monitor rides again!

kenmore58's profile picture
Of course, as luck would have it, I tested out my Monitor washer after arriving home last evening, and everything worked fine. Why it decided to act up during the demonstration I can only attribute to the fact it must have gotten car sick on the way up to Chuck and Rich's house.

Next time I take it anywhere, I'll be sure to let it ride with the window open!!

Monitor

wayupnorth's profile picture
That video brings back memories. Where I live now was my families summer place and we had one of those here originally. It did not have a power wringer and I was the one to crank it, mostly for little kids diapers. Eventually the motor died and it was trashed and my grandmothers old Maytag round wringer with red trim and a pump came here and is still here to this day. Unfortunately, she scoured all the labels and decals off.

wonderful party

Had a great time at Chuck and Rich's party.For those who have never been you dont know what you are missing they have a lovely home and a big yard with this kickass pool that I made full use of all afternoon let me tell you.I met toggleswitch Steve first who gave me a tour of the basement and I saw their 1960 GE fridge and Kitchenaid kds 19 dishwasher which were in amazing shape.They had a magnavox predicta tv something I havent seen in many years as well as an early 60s magnavox black and white.I never got to ask them about them though with all that was going on.They may be interested to know I have a state of the art picture tube rejuvenator.One of my favorite things was when Rich showed me his Bendix washer which is just like mine.His in better condition than mine in some ways,dammit.I enjoyed talking to and comparing notes with Ken,a fellow hoarder.The irony of coming here is that I have passed by this house dozens of times in the last 3 years as up until 2 months ago a female friend lived right down the road in Marlboro.We were going to come last year but had another engagement.I would have liked to have stayed longer but had a family obligation.Thanks Chuck and Rich,you boys sure know how to throw a party and you sure have the facility ample parking and all!

We had a FANTASTIC time!!!

Thanks for all the kind words. It was so nice to see some of the same faces that have been supporting the camaraderie over the years. It was just as nice to see some new faces show up. I always worry that we don't have enough "toys" to entice you folks to come and have a good time BUT ya all keep comming!!

The food was fantastic and the conversations flowed like pool water :-) Our 4 non-collector friends wanted me to thank everyone for making them feel so welcome. They had a great time!!

I love looking at all of the pictures. It's hard to believe that it was less than a week ago.

We'll try to have the ABC-O-Matic as well as the Bendix running for the winter get together (Mark, I'll probably need your expert help with the Bendix!!)

Again thanks for making last weekend the success that it was.

Rich & Chuck
