We drove up from Omaha on Thursday night for a weekend away - in Apexland! When we arrived, this is what was on the front lawn to greet us! 10+ feet high and lighted, it's impossible to miss the house now!

It HAD to be the Apex used first!
This machine is an incredible fine - MINT!! Beautiful washing action, cool sounds, and good cleaning!

But no washer photos on AW
would be complete without a "steaming streaming money-shot"!

Saturday night, we had a bunch of people for a wash-in. It was great to see everyone again, it's surprising how many people are in the are. We met Matthew (little edie) at the grocery store and tried to call him but only had a work number!
David & Dennis and two of their friends who are washer fans, Karen (miss jetcone), Jed (lebron) Don (jetaction) and his partner Scott, Jeff from Foley, MN and John (gyromatic) and his partner Chris. It was a great crowd and such great fun to see them again. Guess which machine was the hit of the night??

Why it was the Apex of course!
More bouncing basket goodness!
Jed just loves the Pulsamatic too!
We forgot to take a picture of the Hoover Chocolate and Cheese Fondue spread we laid out which was completely devoured, so I'll just drop in a picture of the Philco-Bendix combo washing away.
We're off to Don's for more fun and some brunch so I'll post more pics of that and our estate sale finds later today! The weather is beautiful here - perfect holiday weekend so far!

thanks for trying to call.....i would've loved to have seen "the museum" in person.
Hey Greg, Robert, and Fred, so glad that you guys are having a great weekend but with such good company nothing else would be possible. Of course the "Apex" had to be the star of the event!!! Enjoy the rest of the weekend and have a safe trip home!!! Terry

Yay! Thanks for sharing pics. Fittingly, the Apex was the star of the show. I'm just surprised Jed isn't kneeling in front of the Wizard, since I know what a huge fan he is of Franklin transmissions and indexing tubs, LOL!
The inflatable Hoover air-balloon must have been an awesome sight at night. I'll bet Robert's neighbors have never seen anything like that, before.
Hope everyone in AW-land is having a great Memorial weekend.

CRAP! I wish I could have joined! Thanks for posting Greg. Certainly looks like everyone had a good time. I can tell a Filtrator wasn't running in the background - no one is sweating! (quite WARM down here).
One last thing - Jed, pull your shorts up!

You guys look like you are having so much fun! Can't wait to see more pictures! I love all of Robert's machines....but I just really love that Apex!
I have to be tacky and ask....because I am a little slow at times....I take "host" as meaning that Fred and Robert are an item now?
Like I said I am slow....at times.
If you are....you guys make a very cute couple!
If so I wish you the best!!!!
If not....think about it?
Thanks for the pictures guys!

Nice pictures!
Greg, it was good to finally meet you. Same goes to Fred and everyone else. It was great to chat with everyone. Missed Ben though!
yeah the pulsamatic is a personal favorite of mine, I knew I was going for that one first. Eugene, I'll have you know I fired up the pig immediately after the pm ! a real Franklin!
I have good pictures and video (apex!) that I'll post tomorrow.
