That's a good outfit to be slapped in, Louis, but it needs a fur wrap!

chestermikeuk · Jun 23, 2015

Slapped...

Yes I seem to remember Louis that both Jetcone and Gansky are not to be messed with !!

foraloysius · Jun 23, 2015

Mike, I think no Canadian nose was hurt in this process. IIRC Eddy still has that same nose.

gansky1 · Jun 23, 2015

Lol - hadn't seen that one for a while!

Wish all you guys could make the wash-in at Jon's

turquoisedude · Jun 23, 2015

EEP! I don't think there's ever been any anti-Canadian sentiment at Jon's before, right?? LOL

jetcone · Jun 24, 2015

No, never at my house

This is and will remain a Canadian Free Zone!

I have confirmation

that CBS and Bill Geist will be in attendance on Monday to film the Wash-In. If you would like more information send me an email and I will let you know whats up and let me know if you would like to come, we are trying to plan the day and the food.

Cheers

Hubby's sending dirty laundry from his latest trip to Puerto Rico. Does that help? (ducks and runs....)

You guys are going to do an awesome job of representing our group on national television, and I know Bill is going to present the story in an entirely respectful manner.

Thank you, Jon!

For hosting another great wash-in, and all who helped. I think we all had a great time and showed Bill Geist and CBS what washer collecting is all about.

Here are a few pics of the event, they are of the interview portion, I tried to stay out of the way when they were filming the washers. Thanks Eddie for the fantastic food you provided, we are still enjoying the leftovers.

Thank You...

And nice meeting you all.

What a wonderful time. Great to meet new people and see old friends.

I hope to see everyone in the fall. Darn Cape is too busy during the summer.

turquoisedude · Jul 4, 2015

What a great time we had!!

Jon, thank you again for allowing us the chance to eat all your food, drink all your booze, exhaust the dog AND get to play with all your machines! It was great fun to finally get down to the house on the Cape, too - I wish we could have stayed longer.

It was fun to see everyone again! The folks at the border just scratched their heads when we crossed back into Canada with the two vintage dishwashers, parts, the Frigidaire cooktops, etc, etc...

I didn't take a lot of photos, but this one was a 'zen moment' with the Youngstown Jet-Tower...

And for dinner tonight, I have planned ham. It should be my favourite dish apparently....

What a week it's been! Good people, good food and lots of laughs.

I left home last Friday in the rain and bought a Homart dishwasher in mid-air that a friend of mine found in an old house in Omaha. It's waiting for my return tomorrow to pick up. I'll post more on that later once I get it home.

Not wanting to fall behind in the tech-toy area, I brought a new selfie-stick that you can see Jon got quite a kick out of. We went to Jon's business and brought home his Hoover model 28 vacuum - despite the earnest objection of Jon and surprise of everyone else.

We bought some flowers for the planter on Jon's deck and Jeff, Cal and I got them planted to add even more cheerful color to the beautiful early summer foliage in Jon's yard. Yes, all we could find for our deck box was a pitchfork to turn the soil and then found only worm castings at Whole Foods to supplement the soil we had. Don't ask how much we paid for that ;-)

It seemed everyone's spirits were lifted even more by the news from the Supreme court earlier that morning that many of us saw our own 'arc of history bend toward freedom and justice.' It truly was fun to be able to celebrate this victory with good friends.
