Next Wash-IN?

I would really like to attend the next wash in. The pictures, the people and the machines are just too fun to resist.

Hi Nate. Thank you for the wonderful video of my machines. It was fun to watch.

WOW!

I wish i was able to attend this year but alas being not quite settled in LA yet has me quite pinched for funds - next year is definite though!

Great Pics and Vids everyone!

These pictures are great! My favorites are of the THOR! I can't believe someone actually has one that works! I have not seen one of those machines for years. Several people in my family had them, but last one went out just before 1970. I was always intreagued by the 'DISHES' cycle. I wish I could have been there to see this one in person! Of course ALL the pictures are great to see, next best thing to being there!

Little Big Man

It was a pleasure to meet Austin and see how securely his head is screwed on. I am amazed to see someone so focused at such a young age. In combination with that Austin is polite, cultured and friendly, social skills almost unheard of in a man this young. Thanks for sharing the Unimatic and Blackstone.

I too thought he was terrific, as were Jamie (always will be "Junior" to me) and his bud Alex. A big thank you to Sheryl for chaperoning.

*WAVES* to Sheryl. Sorry we didn't get to chat more Cheryl.

Best regards,
Steve

Thanks Austin

You got me hooked now on Maytag. I found a new appreciation for those machines after seeing so many this past weekend.

Glad everyone had such a great time. Thanks for sharing the pics and events.

Missing Links

I saw a blond women Sunday morning but had no idea who she was until Toggles post. I thought it was quite a feat for Jaime and Alex to fly to Tucson and rent a car. Jaime is a man of few words, but he patiently helped me do an extraction test with a chenille bedspread after the Unimatic and then the Kitchenaid. I would find it interesting to know how many ounces per minute dryer exhaust and how much time in the dryer is shortened using an extractor.
I am home doing laundry and I think there must be something amiss with my Kenmore Compact because I can wring water from the jeans and towels. A second spin doesn't seem to make much difference. I should have tried using the extractor as my carry on luggage!

My understianding is that Alex resides in Tempe, AZ (south of Phoenix, north of Tucson.)

I'm almost positive the fancy car he had was NOT a rental. *WINK*

You spin me right round Baby......

Oh Kelly, you are too funny!

Carry on luggage???

Listen I was tempted to stap Ross' harvest gold Maytag on my back and flap my wings home with it.

Someone *AHEM* now wants a turquoise Maytag with a light up panel. It's ok. Bulk collecion day is coming soon to a town near him.

And in order to get such treasure running again, looks like my babushka, my apron, my thong as well as the Manolo Blahniks have to come off if favor of work boots overalls and boxers.

I, on the other hand, saw for the first time the beauty of Frigidaires when I saw the guts of one at Roger's place.

(Samantha, do I get a star for kissing @$$?)

Those pics have brought back the memories of a week ago!! What a terrific bunch of people! I now have more brothers, nephews, and kids than I know what to do with!! LOL It was great to catch up with everyone; some of whom I haven't seen since Omaha in 2005.

Contrary to its appearance, I *did* get out of that chair at Roger's! LOL I really enjoyed talking to some of the new friends I made; Scott (Phxbear), Tony (Jon's partner), Kelly (Mixfinder), Bob (Frigidaireguy), Steve (Wigwag), Jeff (Hoover1060), Michael, Mike Banta, and Alex! (I'm sure I missed someone; still in a fog). You all were fun and knowledgable! I hope to see you again soon!

I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to talk to you much Cheryl! Austin and I had to get to the FedEx store to ship out some stuff! It seems that we can never leave a gathering without acquiring something too large to bring on the plane (no comments Toggle or I'll tighten that babushka)!

Thank you all for your nice comments about Austin. Oh dear, now you've got me worried that someone switched kids with me on the plane. ;-)

 

[toggleswitch]

Tighten it? HA! Dr. Matagringos will be really busy and challeneged on that one.

Too large to fit on a plane?
But I heard everything is bigger in Texas.

I agree Venus, I have had to visit a shipper at more than one event!

*MUAH* to all.
