The right way, the wrong way and the Navy way.

*LOL*

Am posting this here since do not think any of us will be after this lot.

A "Gorma-Rump" pump

Must be a typo for Gorman-Rupp. Not sure I want a Gorma Rump around, sounds nasty.

Your tax dollars at work

Someone really ought to rein in how the US military spends....

It is wicked when you come to think about it. A NIB unit that cost thousands just given away to a local government. They in turn left it sat sitting outdoors to rot and ruin then finally sold it off for pennies on the dollar most likely.

Another one of the governments $500 toilet seats....

Related to this somewhat, I finally got to see the mystery commercial front load machine at hubby's school, in the pool locker room, wash our comforter. It's a unimac machine made by the Raytheon corp. almost identical to the wascomat machines in an eBay link under the one for that navy machine, which would be a great thing to have to open a commercial laundromat with.. so the unimac was cool very capable, smooth and powerful, and free to use! The drain poured out directly into a step down area in the floor slab behind it, quite a bit of water rushed out from the drain cycle.
Was fun to finally get to see where hubby does what he does after all these years

Wow! That is one serious laundry set up. What is the range hood-looking thing above the extractor?

And while doing laundry with the above system, one can listen to this:

> Someone really ought to rein in how the US military spends....

One thing that amazes me is how there are people out there who yell loudly about "government waste," and yet many of these people never see any waste in military spending, and, in fact, may suggest there should be more spending... Somehow I have trouble understanding the logic here.

Hey, isn't that Phylicia Rashad's first husband singing?
