My Security Blanket I have planned to throw in my Maytag 806 to play with in the garage. I am getting a replacement set that is older and has a matching HOH dryer. My current set is up for grabs.

Greg and Kelly,
Again, thanks so much for the generous invitation Greg. This is really exciting since the West coast members rarely do these get togethers. I honestly don't care if you collect vaccuums, washers, or kazoos! It will still be lots of fun meeting new people and reuniting with those I haven't seen in so long.
Kelly, I will be seeing Patrick and Eddy in just a few days while Eddy is down here in Portland. I'll do some heavy talking to get them to head up to Greg's for the gathering. Honestly, I don't think Patrick will say no and he'd have lots of fun. Hopefully Eddy can make it too. Also, Tony has agreed to help me with the BD portable washer so we'll be bring that too. All we need is an outlet and a sink! :-) Can't wait!!! Jon

Greg/Kelly,
Just emailed you Greg...
You and Kelly be sure to let me know what else I can bring. I have an old Hoover vacuum I want to unload on someone there also. So far it's me, Tony, our dog, a Lady Kenmore portable washer, and a Hoover. Should I bring anything else like my KA mixer or a coffee pot to help out with? Don't be shy. Just let me know what else you guys need! Can't wait! Jon | ||

The Northwest Trek Ben, as much as I wish you were coming it would be pure torture to only have a weekend and then send you off. I think we should get plans under way for a grand pilgimage to Seattle that includes some of your running buddies.

YES!!YES!!YES!! I grew-up with that Hamilton Beach and I still want one! Don't tell Kelly because I like the HB better than a Mixmaster! I still have the book from my Mother's. My sister got the mixer and now it's gone. And you have a Corning electric! Oh the fun we're going to have! Greg | ||

My friends are excited...
The mixers are looking forward to Kelly's expertise in lubricating and the Corning Electric can't wait to perk you a hot pot of coffee! (Must remember to bring disk filters)
Someone else wanted to come too but I had to tell them no, there is not enough room in the vehicle! It tried to woo me with its overflow rinse but I still said no!

Periods I not its healthy to move a washer during periods of heavy flow. So I hope you like Hamilton Beach mixers with clear glass bowls to compliment the stainless ones that come with a Chrome model K. Better than a Sunbeam? Indeed.

Hard To Believe Its beyond grasping the completeness of how hospitable Greg and Lynn are. Food and drink are flowing, the bed and breakfast is in place and they even offered doggie daycare to Jon and Tony's wild man Aldolph.

Had a GREAT time!
Well I am back and unpacked. I have to say that this was a great event. The hosts Greg and Lynn with co-host Kelly really know how to hold a Wash-In. It was great to meet Brun, see Brian again, and of course Jon and Tony always add life to any gathering.
Kelly and Greg "did the dance" perfectly in the kitchen and turned out 3 absolutely wonderful meals. I'm sure I've gained a few pounds! Thank you all again for the great weekend. Patrick | ||

To all...
Tony and I had such a great time. Tony isn't a collector of appliances but on the way home he commented on just how much fun he had. Spoke of watching football and visiting with Lynn and how nice that was. I of course always have fun with Patrick and I was so excited to finally get to see Kelly again after WAY too long (Tucson '07 I believe).
Greg and Lynn were fantastic hosts in their beautiful home. That kitchen was huge and Greg and Kelly used every last inch of it! The food was incredible as was expected and the warmth of new friendships was worth the trip in itself. It was such a pleasure meeting Brun and Brian also. Two of the most soft spoken and nicest men anyone would ever meet and such wonderful experiences they shared with us. I truly hope to see all of you again. Our door is always open to you and especially the door to the basement (where all of the fun sprinklers and washers are). Next time I think it's mine and Patrick's turn to do the honors so we'll work up a good time very soon. A GE dishwasher is just the beginning of what Patrick has in his collection. He collects so many different items and all are spectacular to see. It will be so fun to do this again. Greg, enjoy the Hoover and thanks for taking it off our hands! If you liked the sprinklers I brought then I have more where those came from. :-) Promise me we'll do this again very soon guys! Jon | ||

The Golden Child Did I say I love dogs and kids? Put them together and you get one zany dog still in his childhood. He tried running around with a paste on mustach and a lab coat but we knew right away he wasn't Duke.

Well, thanks for posting the additional pictures. Again it is a real pleasure to talk with other collectors, about restorations and finds, etc. Something I don't get to do every day. Again, the hopitality and food was fantastic. Thanks again. | ||

MickeyD,
Adolf is definitely still a puppy although a large puppy. He just turned 2 years old a couple of weeks ago. Honestly, I had no idea Lynn did not like dogs so now it would make total sense to me why Adolf would want to be around him so much. It's very important that Adolf is liked by EVERYONE. :-) Thanks Lynn for being such a good sport. I assure you he had a fantastic time and he slept very well last night because of being so worn out. Wash-ins are fun for animals too you know.
Brun, I wish I could have spent more time visiting with you. Funny how we all get so wrapped up in various things that we make it home realizing we didn't get to visit with every single person as much as we wanted to. It was a real delight meeting you and I'm going to make a phone call today regarding that certain item you want that is at the Maytag dealer down the street from me. :-) When planning just keep in mind that they want all of their stored wringers, etc gone by the end of this month so not much time left. I'll send you an email tonight hopefully with details. Jon | ||

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly!
No offense taken in the mis-identification. And don't change a thing about yourself, you are fine just as you are.
As I told Kelly, he is a very kind, gentle, caring man who in person does not seek the spotlight. It is hard to convey ones true personality in typed form but let me assure you Kelly is the real gem here. As you would expect from his posts he really knows his way around a kitchen. I had some of the best food I have eaten made by him. Good times were had by all!

Kelly,
Definitely will do it again soon. I plan on pulling out the GE for a tune-up since she's been resting for the last couple of months while I give the 1-18 some use. You mentioned mini-basket and turns out I have two different mini-baskets to play with for that machine now. Good times!
Not sure if you have my email address or not but if you don't be sure to get it from Patrick so we can stay in touch that way too. We really should chat more. Hugs! Jon | ||

Darren,
I know what you mean. I'm sitting here in Portland thinking about how it took me moving from the D.C. suburbs for there to actually be an East coast wash-in. Talk about the timing! But we did have a nice time here too. I really want to work on getting a more cohesive group over here in the northwest at least. Some great folks with some great collections over here. Anytime you guys are heading our way let us know for sure!
Jon | ||
