Ideas For "Ins"

[Ultramatic]

 

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">Well, we have Wash-Ins and Iron-Ins. Which others do you suggest?</span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">1) Mix-Ins.  Yep, this one has potential. Everyone brings their favorite, and goes to town mixing up delicious cakes, cookies, breads and so forth to be enjoyed later.</span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">2) Cook-In.  A bit more involved, vintage kitchen appliances, mixers, blenders, stoves and gadgets. You whip up all sorts of culinary delights.</span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">3) Dish-In.  Or a Dishwasher In. Everyone brings one dirty dish, or pot. Lets just see which dishwasher performs best.</span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">4) Suck-In.  No, not that you perv. Everyone brings their favorite vacuum to put it through a battery of tests. </span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">5) Cool-In.  Vintage air conditioners and fans. Bring a sweater.</span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">6) Mod-In.  Aka Modern-In. This is all inclusive. Anything and everything from the '50's, '60's and '70's. Ah the joys of modern living.</span>

 

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">Any more ideas?</span>

Im for

All of the above!

All are good ideas.

 

How about a 4-A that could be held after hours?  Or a Drill-In along similar lines for those of us with an affinity for power tools?

...-ins

I'm all for a 'drill-in'!! I like power tools, too... (rp2813, Reply #2)

I could also go for a 'test-in' or 'repair-in'... A chance to use some vintage test-gear to diagnose and repair some vintage appliances....

Right now, though, I could use a 'lie-in'.... I'm just not getting enough sleep... :-(

All best

I was thinking along the lines of a Wash-In, with a theme.....

something simple as everyone wears the same shirt or with a detergent emblem....

everyone wear white socks, and we try different detergents to see which will get them cleaner...

would a TOGA event be pushing it too far?....

even make it a game day, vintage board games, or cards....

how about a stereo set-up......sit around and play our favorite 45's and 78's.....combine it we could have a sock hop!.....

has anyone done a NewYear's wash-in?.....but it starts at Midnight!

there are others, but thanks to Louie, we can't post them here...

 

[stchuck]

all sound good to me

I hope I can attend the next event....

Count me IN

On all Ins. I'll even do the toga-in.
What ever happened to "circle-perks" ?

 

[tolivac]

How bout a "shoot in" for those members that like guns and shooting!The other "ins" sound great,too.And another--"mow in" for those that like mowers!

<span style="font-size: medium;">@ Ralph, I'm always available for a "Drill-In" LOVE power tools. </span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">@ Martin, I think a Toga Wash-In would be perfect!</span>

 

[Ultramatic]

Rex...

 

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">At the "Shoot-In", does everyone show their guns and demonstrate how quick they are to draw?  </span>

 

[tolivac]

No,they shoot at targets.Yes,the drill ins good here-I like tools as well.
And for those members that like cars , motorcycles,ATVs,Horses, or other things to ride---"Ride-in".

 

[washdaddy]

How about a Rock-In? Y'all seem to have fallen off your rockers as it is. LMAO

We could all play musical chairs to boot. Just no kickin' anybody off their seat allowed!!

:O

 

[washdaddy]

(OOOOWWW...FALLS DOWN AND GOES BOOM!!! ALL RIGHT, WHO CHEATED?)

rubs butt as I get up off the floor..lol

 

[mich]

How about...

We simply do a Wash IN

And perhaps, a detergent sampling or trade thing.

 

[ovrphil]

All the ideas are good!

was thinking ...DRILL-IN or "TOOL-IN" ? (old tools, new tools, antique tools)

"JAM-IN" - (bring your portable record player and tunes) ..probably needs some other "IN" to add flair to it.

"SEW-IN" - bring your stuff you fixed, need fixing, and learn what others did, what they used, or what they created on whatever machine they can tote(might be hard to do this).

"FIX-IN"? - bring your restoration and repair solutions for washers, dryer, or any appliance and some of your best solutions for any weight problem.

And all above should include a "Laugh-In" , whether we're after the same thing or not.

Considering that Ultramatic is helping me

To get dishwashers number 26 and 27 this weekend, I am really hoping to have a dish-wash in next summer.

The plumber is at my house right now. We'll see how much the basement modifications are going to be so I can get all of them permanently installed.

And for those who want to know, I have about 17 of my collection that can I turn on and run at this point (although the ones that aren't in my rack have to be drug over to the sink and then we have to hold onto them during loading so they don't tip over).

 

[foraloysius]

Actually Fix-ins are becoming very popular here. I guess the crisis made people aware of the possibility of repairing things rather than buying new. At such Fix-ins people with skills teach other people how to repair something.

Deconstruct-in

Who wants to come help deconstruct this house and take home a bit of knotty pine paneling, studs or tin roof? Yes, I have an ulterior motive, but wouldn't it be the perfect place for a "drill-in?" When we began to tire of deconstucting, we could move to the big house and do some fixing-in. And after we're tired out from all of that, we could mix-in, cook-in, fish-in or hike-in.

And yes, this is a very self-interested invitation. I'd love to fill my house up with a big crew of y'all. I think it would be a laugh-in.

the big house

More about this one in another thread, but, as you can see, it desperately needs a fix-in. It belonged to my grandparents, and I spent most of my childhood there.
