And a Very Good Morning to you Nate.
The first morning post in a long time that I didn't have coffee spraying all over my keyboard from your clever wit. (Kinda of miss that) Just kidding.
Very Cool Vid.

I love the slo-mo feature on the iPhone, best new improvement 
I took one last night of the Hotpoint Lady Executive washer spinning but it wasn't nearly as interesting as all that sloshing water. I'm glad you still have that machine, what a sweet washer that is.

Well, that vid is certainly more poetic than what I interpret in lit classes, lol!
Question for the group: Would such a a slow-motion vid taken of today's FLs in action reveal equally poetic cleaning?
I noticed the spurting and pulses as well. Nice to know I'm not the only person with a dirty mind. <cue witty response linking dirty minds with interest in laundry> ;-)

iPhone 6 slo-mo
Yes, loves it. If you have one, you should try it on most everything--it reveals an amazing world heretofore only available to people with super high-speed film cameras.
Even the little suds-kill spray-rinse that happens after the first spin is epic in slow-motion. Next logical step? Stick it in the dishwasher, of course!
This was a load of queen-sized sheets and pillowcases with Persil FreshStartPearls, and I always keep the water level on "high," so it's probably fairly underloaded. But I figured it was good, neutral content--no need to see a pair of undies cartwheeling across the field of view. ;-)
After eight years of "getting around to it," I finally got there. I'll post a separate thread this week on what "getting there" looked like. It had sat disused since the 2007 wash-in, and was not--shall we say--"plug-'n-play." I also repainted it, so that unlike the Westinghouse-original unit, it actually has PAINT on it.
Yes, I still have it, because it weighs too much to push to the curb when I get caught in a fit of pique. ;-)

So Sexy!
Might it be a result of osmosis or is it just coincidence that the clip's length is 1:18?

A Wes Anderson-worthy entry! Very poetic, Nate.
Thank you all!
Who doesn't love a little bit of watching the front-loader? It's better than cable television. ;-)

Zen indeed. In 1954 the slant Westy was more fun to watch than television so I pulled up a chair and learned the foundations of sequential machine logic.
Fastforward to 1982 and I was the master of $half-mill broadcast eqpt. Same sequential machine logic, times ~100,000. The zen part.
