Robert,
...along with the other requests for pics, where you found it and the like, would you be so kind as to email me your home address? Also, please include any bypass codes if you have a burglar alarm. Let me apologize in advance for the damage to your beautiful lawn. It'll tear me up to destroy your landscaping when backing the truck up to the door to steal this Westy off of you. (No apologies for tearing off the awnings though...) I hope you will accept my generous offer of waiving liability payment from your homeowners policy if I were to hurt myself getting this work of art out of your house and into the truck. Because I am so gracious, I will also give you 30 days to compensate me for the cost of renting the truck, appliance dolly, moving pads, and gasoline. Reimbursement for lodging during the trip will not be needed, but your unspoken offer to do so is appreciated -- I plan to drive straight through upon reciept of your home address. I'll extend my generosity further by doing the mapquest work myself, but I simply must stop at that point. Given that I have no room in the apartment for this, I'll be forced to remove the dining room table, chairs, and china cabinet. Just remember who your friends are, Robert, not everyone in Applianceville will make this kind of sacrifice for you! And for your relationship -- didn't you say on another thread Neal would make funny noises if you purchased another machine?
Not buying it, eh? Hell, it was worth a try! Congrats, and I sincerely mean that! And hey, I certainly wouldn't want you to be single, being as happy as you seem to be -- If I had a partner, the acquisition of such a prize would have me humming the closing number of the Carol Burnett show for weeks...
I'm so glad we had this time....together. Just to have a laugh or sing a songgggg. Seems we just get started and before we knew it....came the time we had to say, so long!
I can think of no better hands for this appliance to fall into than yours! I love the work you folks do on these vintage machines, and the machines themselves. But these combo's are beyond awesome in my book. I guess it's the gadgetry, multipurpose gene in me. I beg you to post restoration progress pics -- hell, strip every pic I've ever uploaded, delete my messages, my profile -- kick me out of Applianceville, I'll happily lurk to see your work on this one! I fell in long distance love when Greg's was unveiled at Convention. Be glad I didn't attend, I'd have made a scene, I just know it -- after all, it's Westinghouse, I can be sure!
