It was hideous here today, especially after a warm, partly sunny 77 degree Sunday. Too wet to ride or walk, what can I do for exercise? I know. Have been wanting to use the Whirlpool Mark X11 on the deck, and we're supposed to have more warm weather for a while, so why not rig the garden hose to the washer and get some Coldwater Tide and go for it. Running around, two-tapping the hose spigot, dragging Mark around, lots of movement. You've been wanting fully automatic washing on the deck all summer now. What are you waiting for? This is your moment. Sound familiar--procrastinating for two months on a highly desired project, and then.....and then......the frenzy begins.[this post was last edited: 10/7/2013-22:57]

You know that connecting the garden hose to the washer fill valve inlet is a male to male procedure. Hmmmm. Not sure I know how to do this. *LOL*
So--WARNING: This is going to get silly really fast--I put in a call to Putin to see how to go about connecting male to male. Heard he has a lot to say about this. "Nyet Nyet, he protested. No doink. You stop dis right now or I vill Call dee D.O.P. and your vashink daysss vill be ofer foreffer."

"Oh no, not that," I said and hung up on him. It felt so good.

So I went to Lowe's and the handsome young men were more than happy to help me figure out how to go male to male, (forgot phone for pix, sorry).[this post was last edited: 10/7/2013-22:50]

I used the Super wash for the two terry bathrobes because remember, the water is cold and I wanted the longest possible wash.

I stuck the hose in for the partial drain to bypass an unnecessary refill. It was stain removal I was after not dirty water from heavy soil. It's cool the way these WP''s let you "help" with the Super Wash, don't even blink and carry on fine.

ATTENTION MOTHER GENERAL JETCONE

First Stairway Down that you inquired about last month. You see: I DO DELIVER.

Mary Wydro used to say: "Throw the hose on the floor Myykey," at the end of her wringer wash day. In Mary's memory, I did her one better, and gave the hose a yank right off.

It's a three feet high plume. We'll see what Mark XII's dishwasher cousin can do with plumes some day soon.[this post was last edited: 10/7/2013-22:54]

Lost in the shuffle: the Wash Drain and the

Rest of the stairway except for the very last stretch. Hey, that was a great way to spend the afternoon, a whirlwind tour and satisfying exercise. So Thanks. Wouldn't have done it without ya.

Michael, that lakefront deck looks absolutely fabulous! I am sure that Mark had not issues with being dragged out there for the photo sessions. Thanks as always for sharing these photos!

I actually met Mark some time ago, remember??

THANKS, PAUL,

I sure do. A couple years ago. It was before he got his insides done over, right? He's actually been on the covered portion of the deck all summer, since our friend Jackie delivered him. But now he'll be in service rotation out there till the snow flies.

And as Eugene has pointed out Coldwater Tide does a nice job. Will probably mainly do colored loads in Mark. If I start plumbing hot water out there, Paul, call the men in the little while coats.

You always look so happy.
 
MickeyD, it is my favorite part of the year. FALL. Thanks for the great photos of "Mark". As the outdoor temps drop you could always grab a 5 gallon pail of hot water at the bathtub. Mike I appreciate your deck photography. Always good to see someone having a good time.

THANKS ART,

It was my pleasure to entertain you. Hmmm, 5 gallon pail, or maybe a hose from the kitchen. It's so weird here, Art, September was like June, and these last few weeks have been summer-like, well above normal most days, even though the leaves are starting to turn with a few really cold days and nights thrown in. Mysteriously, the lake has been holding steady at 66 for weeks! It's like a new hybrid season, but like you, I love Fall, too.
 
Naughty Response

You know, my first reaction was to 'cut and paste' Paul's response from the "Rubber Duck" thread in the 'As The Tub Turns' forum to this post.  But then I realized how unacceptable that could be, so I let it go...
