Shameless Plug for Pittsburgh Wash In June 2017

[moparwash]

Now that the frozen tundra of January is here...for those of us where it happens, nothing like the thoughts of a summer Wash-In to melt the snow, so here it goes:

Tentative weekend - June 16-18

Same format as always:

Friday evening Meet and Greet - Place TBD

Saturday Wash-In shenanigans, Saturday evening outing of some sort

Sunday morning 'Wash of Shame' and farewells

New attractions: Fully functioning 1960 W dryer and 1961 W Laundromat

Old attractions: Bring your machine to work on in the garage and/or hook up for show and tell, sitting on the infamous couch, food and booze on the deck.

Hotels: Use ZIP codes 15146(Monroeville) and 15238(Harmarville/Pittsburgh)for accommodations

Set your calendars now!

I'll  plan on being there.

Jerry, We are thinking about coming. How far are you to Gettysburg? I would love to bring my 1964 Frigidaire along to fix, but I have no way to get it out there. And no parts either. Gary

 

[moparwash]

Gettysburg is 188 miles away, about a 3.5 hour drive

I am putting it on my calendar now

Can't wait to see everyone.

BTW - It's not the finest home in Brentwood if the dryer doesn't play "How Dry I Am"

 

[moparwash]

At least it looks great for 'Pepsi-Cola'!!

 

[laundromat]

I'll try to make this fun trip.

 

[glomain]

just might

make the 1&1/2 hour drive east to see you & that ole laundromat.

 

[moparwash]

It would like to see you!

Side Trip To Appliance Graveyard?

Jerry,

Might there be time to visit Butler (if it's still there)?

Rich

 

[moparwash]

Oh yeah!...and Appliance Warehouse too?

 

[tolivac]

Those poor appliances look kinda sad sitting by that road-some look as though they could find new homes-and there is a bathroom sink,too!

 

[vacerator]

Salvage the good ones,

and the rest is a goldmine in scrap metal. Allegheny Ludlum buys it's scrap to make new steel from at least a couple local recyclers in that area no doubt.

 

[yogitunes]

we love an appliance graveyard!

Both an appliance graveyard and warehouse sound good to me.

Thank you for not picking the fourth weekend in June! Last year that weekend was a blur. Aside from it being Pride Weekend in NYC, there were about a half dozen meetings, symposiums, panels & who-knows-what at which I had to attempt play the role of 'trophy husband'. Since I don't look the part I had to make up for it with my feeble acting skills.....

I'll put in for the time this week.

Jim

BUMP!!!!

and a reminder.....June will be here before you know it....

 

[Ultramatic]

 

 

Looks like I'll be coming to this one. I better start picking out my outfit. Will there be a police presence at this event? Feel so much safer with a cop around.

 

[yogitunes]

well, one thing for sure.....if your 'irregular'

there will be pitchers of Orange Metamucil Vodka screwdrivers to set you straight!...

a Pittsburgh wash-in exclusive....

Deeelish!

 

[moparwash]

Martin - Thanks for the BUMP....always up for that..especially after a Metamucil on the Rocks!

Louie - I'm sure there will be a police presence lurking about!

 

[streakers]

Would SOOOO love to

be there - But It's the same weekend as Cbus Pride...

I'll be buzzing around in a Kilt on a Golf Cart in amongst about 500,000 queers...

Otherwise I'd be there in a heartbeat... Damn you Jerry for picking those dates!

I would have dragged along either the virgin unused Easy Spin Dryer or Dexter Quick twin for their maiden wash...

Ugh!

 

[Ultramatic]

 

 

Damn, too bad Steve. Would had been nice to see you again. And a virgin Easy and Dexter? Would had loved to have seen those!

 

[Ultramatic]

 

 

Edit.

 

[streakers]

Brand Spankin' New

Neither one have ever been wet...

They both need tickled...

But yes... 'someone'... namely Jerry chose a date (LOL) that I can't make... HAHA! So I can't make it... Maybe next time... And I wouldn't have to make a 9 hour long journey!!

I'll be expecting pics and videos though fellas!! And yes - would love to meet and see everyone too of course!!

 

[moparwash]

dates...

June is a tough month to schedule because every weekend is a pride weekend somewhere!

 

[Ultramatic]

 

 

OMG Steve, they look fantastic!

 

And I am still waiting for certain pictures from a certain Aussie.

 

[streakers]

I know

Jerry - I'm just hanging shit on ya mate...

It's always challenging... I'd kill to be there... But you know - already committed... - or should I say I need to be committed...

There'll always be next time...

Louis - I know, I know... Text me your email addy...!!

 

[warmsecondrinse]

Yeah, June is one long Pride Fest. Then there's July Fourth. The weekend after that everyone's too exhausted to even think about doing anything...

Last year was especially bad (crowd-wise) in NYC. Not only did it seem like a million and one non-Pride meetings/conventions take place, turnout for the parade was higher than normal in response to Orlando. A surprising number of jaded NY-ers said, "Well, sh*t. Now I HAVE to go to the parade." Let's hope this year is less stressed.
---------------------
Easy and Dexter? I confess I was never interested in twin-tub anything until Martin set one of his on cinder blocks to raise it up high enough for me to look at and use without my arthritis complaining. Now I definitely see the attraction If you have a large amount of laundry you can get a therapeutic rhythm going... Good for the nerves. Of course, you then need dryers to keep uo with the output

My lust object is still a Thor, though. A combination dishwasher and washer: what's not to love?

"Louie - I'm sure there will be a police presence lurking about!"

 

Well thank goodness! That ought to keep the laundry miscreants away. I heard one of them put softener in the detergent dispenser and detergent in the softener dispenser. Beast!

 

[warmsecondrinse]

First: Bump.

Second: Wound up explaining the VERY basics of Lustron homes the other day. Then I got to thinking... I thought I read something, somewhere about there being a few in the Pittsburgh area. Yet when I looked I found nothing. Wishful thinking on my part?

Thanks,

Jim

 

[moparwash]

There are some that I found a few years ago....Ill dig up the list and send it to you
