Sorry I didn't make it today guys. I've been sick with the flu all week and still not up to par. I was wiped out and didn't think I could do the 90 minute drive, and I didn't want to get anyone else sick

Since there is no vintage washer yet...there was dryer action!...

First up...the Westinghouse dryer...the motor is out getting rebuilt, though it did get a thorough inspection by the group!

Thanks Guys

william637's profile picture
Just got back to North Carolina. There was a tense moment in West Viriginia (that didn't involve dueling banjoes...) Apparently the storm that came through on Firday knocked out power everywhere. For about 50 miles around the New River Gorge Bridge (just north of Beckley) every gas station that had power had a line of cars about 100 deep (I am not exaggerating). Fortunately I had enough fumes to get me to Virginia.

I had a great time meeting everyone. Definitely makes me think that I am going to have to host one sometime. Maybe I can get some help getting all of machines up and running.

Thanks again to the hosts - I can't tell you how much I appreciate the opportunity to meet others in the group.

Never trust the phrase "...and it works just fine"

william637's profile picture
I am definitely not complaining about the machine - I still can't beleive I got it and they didn't want a penny for it. Here are some pics of the Lady Kenmore I picked up enroute to the wash-in. Since they said it worked, I went ahead and hooked it up in my kitchen. Well, the pump turns on, and the lights work, etc. but it put a ton of water on the floor. I took a quick look - I think it is the hose to the roto-rack spray. Yet another machine on my "to do" list.

And the lock lever

william637's profile picture
One thing I hate about new dishwashers is the lack of a lock lever. There is something very satisfying about latching your machine shut. And when it is heavy chrome like this...well, that's even better.

And the money shot

william637's profile picture
There is discoloration in the sump. I am assuming that this is staining, rather than rust. Other than cobwebs the underside of the machine was in great shape.

I think your house is really cool

Jerry,
That is an awesome house. I love the outside. The high-placed windows are excellent for placing furniture. You do a great job on the manicure of your lawn and shrubs. I have a softspot for ranch-style homes.

He's gay.  He may not admit to it, but the club he belongs to confirms it.  The christian facade is what most men like him hide behind, but he took even further cover with the biker slant.  It takes one to know one, and his gaydar was tuned into you guys.

When I first spotted him in my mirror...

ultramatic's profile picture

I yelled, "Martin! Get the camera! Quick! Quick! We were worried he would get pissed in getting his picture taken, but he just kept on riding...I kept up with him for a few miles. Martin snapping away. I thought out loud "maybe he's going to the wash-in."

Martin and I had a good laugh.

Trust me....if he was going to the wash-in.....he would have not made it there.....guarantee the hotel room door would have been locked and the key thrown away....once the massage started there would not have been one body part unturned....thats a lot of body to work over....some members could attest my fingers can go all day....in his case my tongue would have taken over....

YOU don't go out riding looking like that....and not know your being drooled over!!!..........its a miracle HE didn't cause any accidents!
