Thanks James ...for bringing the washer vids to my attention. With the house and all, I hadn't paid them much attention lately. Google had moved them and made them private. I have now started a new Youtube account for all the vids and made them public once again. More will be added soon. As of...

and this is the... ....ad in Sears catalogue advertising the Four Star in 58.

I do think.... .....that my 1958 Four Star Cycla Fabric washer and dryer are a great looking set. They look so, so similar to the Lady Kenmore model of that same year that my aunt had and I just loved to wash in. I love to use my set. It takes me back to 1958!

Could possibly have been the negative vibes earlier last month but in any case the Flair went down on Easter Sunday. Thank God it went thru dinner that day and then decided to take a crap. The back two burners won't heat anymore. I assumed a bad safety disconnect switch and proceeded to read...

hardstart Hi Phil-A hardstart is not a recharge to the compressor system but rather help and support via an electrical boost which is attached to the relay on the compressor to get a tired old compressor to come to life again. Each time it is needed to start up it gets a jolt of electrical...

Re: the old Philco refer Just wanted to let you know that a "hardstart" will be put on the Philco very soon. I have been told that it might work for a couple of days and then again it might solve the problem and work for God only knows how long! I hope it's the latter. I just can't see starting...

And Phil... .....I totally agree with Austin. You are an inspiration and more wonderful things in our lives are yet to happen, no matter what our age. Thanks for your words. And Joe, haven't been able to as yet but will take your advice and contact the Yucca high school and see if they offer...

Well as CB always said....... ,,,,"I'm so glad we've had this time together". Just looked at the date I originally posted this - May 2nd, 2010! Less than three months from now and it will be starting its fourth year. OMGawwwd! Does time ever start passing faster when you are not only having fun...

Wow Stan...... .....what a looker! Absolutely beautiful! Yes, I will have it checked out but at present, with me spending so much time away from the house, I unplugged it to avoid any disasters while it sits unattended. What I've gathered up to this point is that the compressor is getting...

Starting another year.... ....with wonderful and most positive expectations for the future! (--: Chris and I look a few pics at Christmas which he put up on Picasa. https://picasaweb.google.com/105362074429817344435/Christmas2012# See if you can find the "changes" that have been made. On a...

updated furniture Thanks Al for your positive comment-it is much appreciated. However, there were a couple of items I had placed about the living/dining rooms that I wasn't quite happy with. I am taking pictures on Christmas and will post a few to show you what I did. I am now completely...

Thanks so much Paulg....... .....for your great input about Voice of Music. I have always been a fan and have really loved their changers that seem to be indistructable and just keep going and going. I had one in a Symphonic table model back in the late 50s and it ran forever. I really like...

Just want to take a moment... ....and wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. I will have it easy this year. I will be doing the turkey, dressing, pots, yams, and rolls--friends will be bringing veggies and assortment of pies! I'm getting smart in my golden years. Patrick- Thanks for the...

twintub.... ....you were right! With my focus being on the upcoming sewer system installation I was not keeping track of the real estate market. It looks like if I did consider putting the house on the market, I could stand to make a pretty penny. Still considering my options. At the present...

I took a little time out.... ....and celebrated my 68th! I shut all my worries out of my mind, jumped in the 442 and had a wonderful day going everywhere (all 146 miles worth)! I went down on the valley floor and had lunch with friends then on south where I visited with more friends in Indian...
