Over a week ago Michael informed me he'd broken the handle off his kitchen faucet. For whatever reason last weekend we never got around to fixing the faucet, but this weekend we finally did. Michael cooked me a wonderful dinner on Friday night, and cleaning up afterwards using a faucet you...

I was able to get the parts for the DW this week, $55.00 for two bi-metals and holders. I decided to replace both just because with my luck, as soon as one was replaced, the other would go. Here is the view with the front panel removed. The broken one is on the left...

I am sorta in a panic...I cooked dinner for Michael and myself today, and made a loaf of banana bread, one of the few sweets Michael will eat. Once I had everything cooking this afternoon I loaded the Kitchenaid and pushed the "Full Cycle" button and went about cleaning up the kitchen. Something...

This is the week that quite a number of us have descended on Terry's place here in Ruskin Florida. We've been here since Tuesday, escaping the single digit temperatures of Chicago for the balmy climate of central Florida. So far we're having a blast! Here's our plane, we flew TED, and and a...

Its been snowing here like crazy, driving me nuts! Late yesterday afternoon I returned home from the gym to find a box from Australia on the front steps. It must have just arrived, because it was not covered with snow! There is only one person it could be from, my friend John Grieve. In the past...

I had always wanted to teach Jack to *shake*, and I did try when he was a puppy, and all I got back was attitude. Jack never much cared to have me touch his paws, and more than once I had sharp little puppy teeth sank into my hand... So I gave up... This past fall I made a passing comment to...

We actually had time to hit the thrift stores this weekend, and didn't have too bad of luck either. First, from the Unique Thrift store a few blocks from Michael's house this Osterizer Classic VIII blender, missing its lid but otherwise intact. I bought it just for the jar... I have seen more...

The day when Michael and I combine households is fast approaching, and so the house continues to be made ready. A while back we decided we could have a *small* collection of washers and dryers, and also use some of that space as a workroom. Last week the room got painted, in colors of Marine...

We have this little beauty just arrived today! This was made by Waste King. For many years this would be Waste King's main disposer model(souped up only with a larger HP motor and a sound shell) This 1958 Frigidaire has a 1/4 hp motor.

My Thanksgiving leftovers will be gone tomorrow night, so with all this poultry being eaten, I thought a nice piece of red meat would be in order... Here it is before going into the oven. 2.5 hours at 325 should give me a nice medium cooked roast... More to come...

Courtesy of my A608, I finally got a video to post on YouTube!!!

Model WD-902, saw it on Craigslist a couple of weeks ago, went and had a look, and bought it. This is almost the same model DW my mother had, although this one is newer. Can someone give me a year please?

Looks very nice too http://cgi.ebay.com/KitchenAid-built-in-white-dishwasher-vintage-retro-NR_W0QQitemZ150183324563QQihZ005QQcategoryZ116024QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I'm not as crazy about the rest of the house(too much wood floors) but the kitchen here is ideal. Check out the picture, those would be the original Centex cabinets, and the stove and oven are the original 1966 Waste King-Universal. The DW is a Kitchenaid, but I can't quite tell the model Not a...

Ok Rich & Chuck, I am starting the dinner thread this week. Something new on the menu tonight, CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS!!! 1 broiler/fryer chicken cut up(I used 4 chicken breasts with skin & bones attached) 2 celery ribs sliced 4 carrots sliced 1 medium onion diced 1 14.5 oz can chicken broth 1 8...

So things at work have been rather grim. The mortgage business is in some dire straits, and about 50 people have been let go since August. So to boost morale(?) the powers that be decided there should be a Halloween decorating contest. We've been working around this crap for a month now... Here...

So yesterday morning I'm going out the front door with Jack about 6:45am for his morning walk. It was still kinda dark, so I could only make out that just up the street sat a washer and dryer on the curb. I couldn't tell the brand of either, so we went for a closer look. The washer was...

So we hit the local junk stores today, at Marklunds in Woodale had some wine glasses for $.30 a piece, can't beat that, with a stick, so we bought them. At St Vincent DePaul in Addison we found these, a minty, shiny coffeemaster, and this cute little Sears JIFFY SKILLET, seemingly unused...

this may be old news already to some already, especially if you were in Omaha. On Sept 10 I went to go to work, and turning the key on the Grand Marquis out in the driveway the car refused to start. Well it would start, it just refused to keep running. So I called roadside assistance, and they...

Happy Birthday Michael, here's my hope that all your wishes come true. I'll save the mush for when I see you... I love you baby! Jack and Symmone love you too!
