FilterFlo was in town and we had our second annual winter wash-in. We had about 12 people, with half from the club including Jimmy, Scott, Erik, Gary and myself. Golittlesport (Rich) and HarvestGold (Gary) were not able to make it at the last minute. We also had some mutual friends and car club buddies over who were curious.

It was a pot luck dinner and Jimmy did up some homemade sloppy joes, with mac n cheese and several side dishes. Scott brought a homemade side dish that everyone ate up! Erik brought a cake decorated with "2006 Wash-in" on it. We started around 5 and 7 loads of laundry later, folks headed out around 10 or so. We all had a great time. Enjoy the pix.

V14

Erik takes note of the fill rate on the V14 vs. the Kenmore. I just love this machine!

Sloppy Fred

Fred, and Jimmy's friend from SFO (sorry, I am terrible with names and I was running around trying to get everything set being the host and all) dig in to dinner.

Kenmore Timed Bleach Dispenser

Jimmy about to add bleach to the 1967 LK. BTW, we went to the appliance junkyard in Glendale AZ last week. I found the solenoid I needed so I now have timed fabric softener working again!

Jimmy pointed out that bleach should not be added until the last 4 minutes of the wash cycle. Otherwise, you kill the cleaning enzymes in the detergent. The kenmore powers the solenoid on at the last 4 minute mark of the wash cycle.

Kenmore wash action

Jimmy and Scott discuss why the LK goes into medium speed during the wash cycle.

Jimmy's Laundry done

Jimmy had his two loads done quickly. We had all the machines going at the same time and did 7 loads total, 2 in each GE and 3 in the Kenmore. We even did a nuisance load in the V-14 mini basket!

Group Shot

Here is a little over half the group for our final shot of the night (Gary, Jimmy, Mike, Scott, Scotts Friend, Erik). We all had fun. Hope to do it again next year. Rich (golittlesport) we really missed you. HarvestGold, hope you can make it next time.

Mike was a great host, and we had a wonderful time. His collections are great, his decorating wonderful and we had a lot of fun and great food! I met some great people and got to see some others I had not seen in some time.

Thanks again Mike, look forward to seeing you again soon.
 
Wow, so much cool stuff!

Mike, I love that wallpaper--not to mention the Flair and the "gravel art".

And those washers are pretty cool, too! ;)

I still think your GE (Americana?) fridge is the coolest thing on ice.
