I never got the "hang" of it I got the hang of extracting certain bottles without paying.  Just to see if I could.   The Westy chiller ran on recirc near-ice water.  So 'all' bottles were wet.  As I recall, the 7-11 kept a towel at the counter to wipe up the puddles.  The advantage to the...

W7 to W10 updates have been available from Microsoft for free.  Unknown if/when this offer expires.

the Hayward I didn't realize it at the time, but had the Loma Prieta managed to dislodge the Hayward, me and my little stucco castle would have been indistinguishable parts of the same pile of rubble.  The LP ruptured an exterior wall as it was. <blockquote> “Nationwide, there are other faults...

Like boogler-proofing anything, if someone is determined to get in, they will.   If the Chinese, Russians, Pakistanis, Ukranians and a host of 'stans haven't found you yet, firing up the Iranians probably won't make any difference.  Just don't click on any 'funny' links and you should be fine.

Rented what I'd call a fishing shack in Milpitas (Sannazay) 1989.  Sweeping tire dust from the freeway just over the wall off the porch every day.  Paying 73% of the full original purchase price/year.  $13,000 house "worth" over a million now.  Absurd.    CA realestate market lacks adult...

Thanks for bringing this to us Jeff. 

$1800 is about what "good" (back in the day) appliances cost in today's money so it's not as outrageous as it sounds.    Give Whirlpool what they deserve:  THE BOOT.  The way they're going, they're not going to rule the appliance world much longer.  They can only sell so many people so much...

If the user 'spun' the timer dial, it could toss the dispenser linkage off the cam.  The top then had to come off to unjam it.  Only happened that once.

I still have a Gallery (pictured above) from 1998.  No trouble at all.  5 rinses including sudsbreak spray.  Good logical cycles.  True hot wash.  Would buy again, preferentially to anything on the current market.

I stopped counting discontinued regular-purchase grocery items when it passed 30.  While the store (Kroger) seems to have room for half a dozen entire aisles I skip altogether, I end up scrounging 'lifelong' staples from "---- Dollar----" or Walgreens.   I've complained fervently all along...

Five years eh?  And presumably knew 'something' about detergents going in.   It only took me 2 years to invent a high-lanolin + non-sticky hand lotion from scratch, knowing NOTHING about mixing oil and water going in.  Not 40 hours either, but about 2 hours twice a week after work. ...

Buddy and I managed to get his Scout hopelessly stuck, twice.  Oh, and once forgot to lock the hubs before putting it in low-low and twisted the axle off.  All in good fun, back in those days.

Simple enough to switch away if you find yourself in the brown area, nes ce?

replace timer If determined to be the problem, changing timer is easy.  No need to be intimidated.  The hard part is the secret mystery latches holding the case together and our guys here can talk you through that.  Start by unplugging the machine.   Once you have access, just pull <span...

Lest we forget, TCM was originally a BASIC channel like CNN.  But, hoho, everybody watched it so natcherly the guys in the mahogany underwear went "hey we can gouge for that!" to offset the jacking they get from the sports franchisers fewer and fewer subscribers want.    Spectrum just flat...

Spent hours 'helping' grandma with the Easy clutch handles.  Seemed she and the machine got along famously.  There is a feel/knack for loading the spincan evenly.  I might have inherited it.  Seldom got a banga-banga with the Panasonic or even the flimsy Panda.  But then, I'm no housewife.

Thanks y'all.  About as clear as corporate genealogy gets.  Hey, ABC made spindryers!  Nice sturdy ones, looks like. 

Bit of history in those abbrvs.  The ABC ad says 'division of AMC' and dates itself 1960.  Where was Kelvinator?  When did the Altorfers bail out?  A quick summary of this swaparound would be interesting if one had a few mins to tap it out, thanks.

It often seems to me that houses are designed by people who have never lived in one.  Sure, not everyone can be Frank Lloyd Wright.   But Frank Lloyd Wrong certainly gets around.

1953 Hotpoint builder model, alongside the companion impeller dishwasher.  IIRC, it was bidirectional depending which direction you turned the stopper handle.
