WHAT GOOD CLEAN FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!

a "wash-in" what could be better!?! friends getting together to enjoy and share knowledge of these beautiful nostalgic machines!

and in minneapolis! i lived in mpls. for 7 years back in the late 70's thru the early 80's and people there are very festive and fun oriented! i can just imagine what a washer party would be like! it's a great city!

i hope to make a dishwasher "wash-in" myself someday

Yay!

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.

Congratulations

to Robert and Fred. Two cute looking guys! If I had been there I'd have had more on my mind than washers!

Here's the Hoover balloon from street level.

My Apex "frothing steamy money shot"

Of course, the Super Unimatic was used... and it was as full as I've ever seen it. ((Which I'm told isn't as full as it's ever been))

 

[hooverwheelaway]

My shot of Jed on his knees... this time in front of the Apex.

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Off to Don's for brunch the next day...

I forgot to take a picture of the fabulous spread... trust me, it was lovely. Mimosas, an egg-bake kind of quiche that had a potato crust and bacon sprinkled on top, some sort of cinnamon bread that came out of a bundt cake pan, and fresh fruit...

Check out this gorgeous Ironrite sign Don has...
(Imagine the iron pad turning, cuz it does)

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Robert, me, and my sister--who came up from Milwaukee for the weekend and was such a good sport when it came time for the washer stuff ((I'm sure she was b o r e d to tears)).

Nonetheless, I think/hope she had a grand time this weekend.

Don's gorgeous 1969 GE that the boys insisted upon moving and hooking up.

Next time we're gonna hook up that turquoise Maytag 806!
