Great pics!

<span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">That copper bowl looking thing on top of the Thor....is that some kind of water extraction device or something? It's a beautiful machine.</span>

Love that copper sieve/smashing device. It's so medieval looking! I'll never view my citrus juicer in quite the same way anymore.

I see my stacked Neptune is as beautiful as ever. Please say hello for me.

How did you guys like the Magic Chef? Curious minds want to know.

Worked 37 hours Thurs 8am to Sun 12noon. Now time for a nap...

More Pics/Thor

The bowl on the Thor if for water extraction. After the lid is shut, compressed air inflates a rubber bladder in the lid to push water out and back into the tub. Warmsecondrinse -The Neptune says hello and the Magic Chef was quite an impressive little machine!

Well then, after a 7 1/2 hour drive back, I finally pulled into Brooklyn at 7:35PM. But oh it was so WORTH it.

Most importantly, I'd like to thank Jerry for being such a gracious and generous host. This was one of the BEST wash-in's I've ever attended. It was wonderful seeing old friends and meeting new ones! It was a real treat seeing Jeff's (Jeb) Thor washer. John (Combo52) performed his usual magic in repairing Jerry's gorgeous Westinghouse front loader.

Pictures to follow, right now I'm going to soak in the tub for a week or so. Calgon take me away!

nice time and fun was an understatement.....

it started Friday afternoon, and didn't wind down until Sunday around noon....

restaurants, thrifting, duquesne incline, machines to play with, machines to work on, machines never seen before...always something new to learn

and the people....we had a group of fantastic members and guest to socialize with

one weekend is never enough....it was non stop, barely a moment to sit down and rest......

Jerry did one bang up job for a spectacular event....

for those of you who chose not to attend, you missed one hell of a ride!

The trip to the Encline was an added bonus. Left to right, Gary, Jerry and John

Hopefully I can attend the 2018 Wash-In, I am not too far away in Youngstown. Looks like a fun time. You guys seemed to pack a lot into the weekend, always an easy thing to do in Pittsburgh with so much stuff to do.
