Well, it was a busy and enjoyable time. It was great to bring a few machines to life so they could be enjoyed and meeting old friends and making new ones as well. It was wonderful to see you all and, OMG! Kelly, you have serious skills in the kitchen and you were such a treat to talk with. Your caring manner and devotion to your cooking was just awesome. You told me that your cooking is your way of showing your love. We all felt well loved! Gordon, thank you again for taking the time to teach me. I will always value our time on the Kenmores. Tim, you are simply wonderful with how you repaired and improvised to get the Westinghouse going along with so many others who sweated over it. To all the others who helped and visited, thank you for making my experience so memorable. Kevin, that was the first vacation I've taken in almost 2 years, what with all of Jacqui's health issues and my broken femur. Thanks for being the perfect host.
After I finally got back to Nevada, I was tired but happy. Westie had the right idea on what to do...
Hugs to you all!!!

Many thanks, Kevin and Kelly!
Got back home last night after my 10-day roadtrip Vancouver to Los Angeles. What a great trip, and a fantastic wash-in! We had a truly memorable time (both my cousin and myself.) It was wonderful to meet some new folks and get re-acquainted with some I had met at Kevin's in January of 2010.
Thanks to Kevin for hosting and Kelly for his tireless efforts in the kitchen!
Regards to all!

Great Pictures and videos!
I so enjoyed watching this event on the live camera! It was so much fun.
Interesting fact is that I remember most of the captured pictures while watching them being taken during the live camera event.
Glad you guys had so much fun! Fellowship is what it is truly all about!
I think about these photo's and videos being seen 80 to 100 years from now.
It really is a beautiful thing. There will always be appliance collectors. Man how old will these appliances here be then! I am sure the Kitchenaid Hobarts will still be running!

It looks GREAT.
The collection is just awesome.
You know when someone travels several hundres miles, to repair an appliance, it's genuine fun.

Thank you to everyone who posted pictures and comments regarding the West Coast wash in. Being with people and cooking are two of my biggest thrills and the wash in served them up in spades. I never look at cooking as work and have long wished there was a way to cook and then have it disappear before I had a chance to eat it. Kevin's kitchen and his equipment provided everything I needed. It was nice to sit after dinner and watch Gordon skillfully take over dishwasher duty and slick up the kitchen. The commaraderie that formed around Kevin's table in the days before the wash in was pure joy and Saturday's gathering was the frosting on the cake. It was rewarding to be in the kitchen and listen to the many conversation floating around. Some of the guests are friends of Kevin apart from the washer group and it was clear he is special in their eyes and much loved. I just galvanizes my desire to attend and support more gatherings and grow into the deeper friendships that come with being together.

Is it Dead Yet?
Hell no!
It has taken me a while to get around to posting anything worthwhile here, I lost my camera and have really had to hit the ground running with work since I've been back.
Well it was a blast! I offered to help Kevin get some machines going for the party, which seemed to keep growing. Between my absolute LACK of focus and realizing that some of the machines needed quite a bit of attention, I set out to do what I could.
This is what I was presented with upon arrival...

There was this poor, tired Maytag DG608 dryer that "needed a blower wheel".... Yeah right!
This machine was a victim of my ADHD, but it's lack progress gave way to other great things. I think at some point I ended up wearing parts of it?
Dear DG606, I'm sorry
