Congrats on getting it! Yeah, I remember being hit hard by it, but can't remember if it was the first or second shot that was worse.

Same as @shirokuro here.

A note before we head for Minneapolis to see the house where I was born. One thing that’s made this trip interesting is the Internet. If we see something we can immediately find out more about it and we’ve been doing that a lot. What is that crop? (Sorghum) What do you do with sorghum? (Animal feed) Why did Studebaker go out of business? (Couldn’t compete against Ford/GM) Population of Pukwana, SD? (About 300) Top 10 industries in Iowa Top 10 brands of RV in the US Best grease for trailer hitches (sticky red) History of the Interstate Highway act Biography of General Custer Typical voltage of long distance power lines Why isn’t buffalo meat more popular Does Bobs Red Mill sell Amaranth flour Number of national Parks in the US Difference between National Parks and National Monuments Did Allied Radio ever have brick and mortar stores How much $ would each Sioux Indian get if they divided up their billion dollar settlement? Cost today to build Mt. Rushmore And on and on. Makes the miles just slide by!

Interesting! Thanks!

I've decided no two ways about it. I want a new mechanical Speed Queen. $600 every 2 years for the electronic panel to flip out, then to buy a new one, then to hire them to remove the old one and install the new one (not my skill set) is ridiculous. I'm enjoying doing laundry by hand in the kitchen sink, wringing it out, hanging on chairs on the enclosed glass patio for a day with the ceiling fan on, and then drying in the dryer. I don't mind at all. I've been doing laundry by hand for 2 years. I want to have my ceiling leak fixed first. Also, the underside of the floor that I know could reach 7k. $$$$ in my world. The car I bought didn't cost 10k. (25k miles, small, pristine, live it, more later). The tiles give some when you walk on them and I know why. It's disconcerting and needs the right contractor asap. I've wanted an Asko for a long time but couldn't swing and can't today. I am kind of two minds, but having the kind of washer my parents had in our house would be the best. How wonderful in this fast changing world would that be. The nail in the Asko coffin for me is it has electronics. Why take that risk when you can get a new old school mechanical washer? I mean I can think of reasons but on balance I crossed it off my list.

@Mik said: Last time I was in Parkersburg John Rosenfeld and I got chased out of town by the cops. We barely made it across the state line to Ohio. 1973. That is such a '70's story. Love it.

Btw, Love the picture. I might print it, enlarge it, and put it in a Wal-Mart type frame.

I saw that! Grotriman was talking about having a party in July but that never materialized. Maybe I can nudge him or threaten to hold one myself… I’d love to see him again. It’s been ages.

@Rontuner Too pricey considering results are not guaranteed.

@AdagioM Aww, if I had any role in your return to piano, that makes me very happy! And just doing it for you is the perfect reason! But do let us know how it goes and what you're working on!

I see dead people.

I locked myself out of my machine/ toy. "Genius Bar" is my answer. I tried everything else they said. For hours. Did you notice you iPad can sometimes divide security countdowns to 1/2 seconds. I was told I had 8.5 min. I was told I had 8 hrs after some time. No. I don't have days to spend acting like Tom Cruise in an action movie trying to rob a bank in Geneva.
