I am looking forward to lots of pizza and suds (soap suds, that is); not to mention estate sales, thrift stores....oh gosh, my palms are already starting to sweat!

 

[DADoES]

Hey, if I'm able to go, maybe we can make it a group effort of the Texas contingent! (I don't much like traveling and airports and such, so some traveling companions would be much appreciated.)

 

[kenmore1978]

Name change

So Austin, are you going to change your name to Westyfrontloader?

All during the time that these machines were the only FL machines left on the US market, I remember that Consumer Reports only had 2 complaints

Poor repair record

small capacity.

Wish I could go and meet everyone and see everything--but alas now is not a good time with work for me

[lesto]

Where is the link?

I don't see the link you're talking about. Where did you see this?

 

[Unimatic1140]

Go to our home page and hit refresh, look for the new icon at the bottom of the page.

 

[foraloysius]

YAY for conventions!! It's not a very good time for work either, but I will try to come.

 

[Unimatic1140]

I've been told that AOL users might have to press the 'F5' key to refresh their screens properly. Seems odd, but AOL is its own animal.

 

[peterh770]

Thank you for hosting this, Greg Gansky1...

 

[neptuneguy27]

Count me in

I can't wait. I will have to play around with the vacation time since I am taking 7 paid days off of work in August. But I'll make it. )Can't wait to see everyone.

[partscounterman]

Darn it! Me too!

While the thought of travelling back to the mainland is repellant, I'm gonna try to work this in. Estate sales? Retromom, did you say estate sales? I'm there! Thrift stores? I'm breaking out in a cold sweat!

BTW one of my favorite drives in the whole world is to take old US HWY 8 west out of Omaha. It takes you through small town america. I always stop in Friend for a coffee or a candy bar. Minden has the Harold Warp Pioneer village which is a days worth of fun. (Avoid the restuarant there, though). I love seeing the old farmsteads and thinking about people that have deeper roots than I ever will...

I always prefer the slower backroads to the ugly interstate freeways.

Omaha is only a few hours away from Newton, IA too, so you can overdose on Maytag stuff.

 

[lesto]

Sorry Robert but I'm a MAC user. I don't have a refresh button and don't see the icon on the homepage you're speaking of. Any MAC boys who can help me with this? You must all be on PC's.

 

[Unimatic1140]

Hi Les, while I've never been a huge Mac fan, they have to have a "refresh" button of some sort, sometimes its called reload.

[jmirawm]

OH BOY !!!! OH BOY !!! OH BOY !!!!

I read this thread during lunch at work, I'm home now. I am beside myself with anticipation and excitement. Count me in! I cant wait to meet everyone and see all the cool machines!

 

[pulsator]

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Convention '05

I'm going to try my damndest to be there, if I have to take the Greyhound bus to do it (flying is out of the question, to0 expensive) or maybe even drive.

 

[westie2]

Wish I could come but Project manager for a changeover on H/R, payroll and automated timekkeping for company. Rollout this fall. No vacation time until next year.

I just made a quick check of the airfare from L.A. to Omaha. Southwest Airlines is showing their "Internet" (in other-words, you book the flight over the internet reservations system at Southwest Airlines.com) a "V" class fare $99.00-$139.00 each way depending on the exact dates for the month of June. That is WAY cheap, you certainly could not drive it for that and I doubt a bus trip could be much less--nevermind the discomfort and the time. From L.A. I would also check Northwest (NWA.com), American and also United. Hope to see you there!

Problems with front page

You people are so lucky that i compwhiz am here

Apperently it is the same becuase you have "cookies" From the previous page.

What youll have to do is go to cokkies and delete the cookies from automaticwasher.org and then try it

And people that are using Ie6.0 you should get a different browser

 

[david]

gonna try to come

Greg-7to800 some odd miles straight north of me. Been waiting for this-ain't gonna miss it if I can help it. Driving doesn't bother me since I do that for a living. Later, David
