Hey Happy Birthday Mr. Toggle - it's mine today too....just got a few years on you. But imagine, Sept 23 perfection on both coasts!

augh! well at least it got the "new fab, I'm glad they put active enzyme lemon freshened borax in you" jingle that's been stuck in my head since I was reading someones post about Fab. I scare myself..

I think.... in Canada, McClary and Easy merged or bought one another out at some point. A very common brand through the 60's here was the "McClary-Easy". My mother had a McClary-Easy stove for 20 something years - as a kid I always thought it meant it was easy to use. Sometime in the 80's...

Things of beauty Eddy - congrats!

not me either! (although maybe it should be....)

and here's moi perusing the paper...

decaf? isn't it illegal in most places to use decaf in vintage percolators?

Hey that's exactly the same as mine. Still works perfectly although the power head can be moody....much like the owner...

I've always loved trains and here in the west, there's not too many left - in Vancouver there's just the Canadian that Pete mentioned and Amtrak to Seattle. Even more than the trains themselves, I love the stations. The grandeur of the old Canadian Pacific stations or Grand Central in NY. In...

AND..... if you have a hot air heating system, make sure you get the vents and ducts. My house was infested a number of years ago and it wasn't until I vacuumed out the ducts that I acutally FINALLY got rid of them.

beautiful!!!

Today in the house I'm working on I found a couple of pages from the Victoria Daily Times, June 25, 1953 - 2 pages from the "Womens" section complete with ad for a Philco fridge for $264.95 plus 2 pages of classified houses for sale. One of them is an "Uplands Luxury Home and Grounds with...

We had a 1962 "McClary-Easy, Proudly Canadian" (those days are gone) stove most of my childhood - really cool chrome script with the automatic senso-therm element that never worked. I have a McClary washer now from around '80 - it sounds like a lawnmower but it keeps on going!

wow flashback to my grandmothers house and the old RCA - that was fun! And I thought I was the only one hearing the organ music in times of melodrama.....

Ah Pete, I remember them all - and a lot of fun!

Can't argue any of that Pete, and now with the Olympics coming it's going to be even worse. Your old haunts were probably my old haunts. Hmmm, do we know each other???

A cordboard!! I used to run one of those in the late 70's (I was practically a child) at a taxi company. I loved working that thing, even used the vice-grip headset once in a while when feeling especially like Lily Tomlin. Still love that purring sound it made.

LOL Pete! I KNOW! Although Commercial Dr is changing rapidly, all that's missing is a GAP and I'm sure that'll be soon. There are days now that you don't even see one person in Birkenstocks ...

Hey Eddy, I'm an east side boy now, just Commercial and 2nd but it feels like a world away from the west end. Used to be at Gilford and Comox in "The Kenmore" (appropriate I think)that had possibly the best laundry room I've ever seen, complete with 3 sets of concrete laundry tubs, miles of...

Wonderful machines! You must be on Gilford St Eddy, I recognize my old neighbourhood.....and kinda miss it too!
