Ben breathes life into a Marantz 2270 (c.1974) and we're spending the rest of the evening - night "testing" it - duet sing-along video to come!

(Can we only get Ben in reflection photos this weekend?  )

Twas a great night! Still overjoyed of how my 63 turned out. Amazing food too.

Hopefully tomorrow I can swing by again. My dad took my truck to work today, so I am vehicle-less, so I cant come out today.

Hi Roger,

Looks like you got to Omaha ok. Was 27 degrees here last night. Yesterday afternoon, there were a few snow flakes here. What do you think of the Speed Queen front loader? Hope you are all having a good time and my best wishes to all for a
Happy New Year.

Did you all see the 2 Thors and Simpson in Australia?. They look like fun machines.

<font color="#330099">Surprised at how warm it is there AND you're hangggingggue out. Nice.

Hello and Happy New Year Hugs to all of you. Ah, Terry, the brownies. What a blast you'll all have.

And by the way, Greg, did you see that you are the Picture of the Day, today. Too funny. Wasn't she the same nun you used for your avatar a while back? Her habit looks familiar.

Hi Guys. Check out the posting in Imperial about the problems with Candy/Hoover front loaders exploding in Germany. I wonder if that happens when the tub bearings finally give out.

While the other boys went out thrifting around town, Roger and I stayed behind to do some washer-repair.  The 69 GE was spinning out water too fast and running a bit hot so checked and replaced the shoes on the clutch and tested and replaced the motor relay coil.  It's running like a new washer now!

Old and new clutch shoes - not too badly worn but we had it apart so they got replaced.

I had a black straight-vane and picked up a new spline last week so we gave that a whirl - or a splash

For our New Years Eve dinner, we broke with our reclusive dining traditions and went out!
Malara's Italian Restaurant usually makes handmade tortellini and white sauce for their Saturday special but they said they'd make it for us when I called - it was outstanding as always!  We had a very nice dinner and it was a lot of fun to venture out into the cold and save Terry hours of work in the kitchen!

Back home again and waiting for midnight -
