    @AdagioM said: @steve-miller do you have a National Parks Pass? Love your list of questions. Bob’s Red Mill is based here in Portland (Milwaukie), OR. My brother works for them. Enjoying your travelogue! I haven’t seen Mt. Rushmore yet. Mr. AM has, but he’s not a big picture taker. I got mine for $10 before it changed. if you use the parks, $80 is still a great deal for a lifetime pass. Love Bob's products. Did not know they were based there.

    I had it a while back; I think my only issue was a sore arm. I had a mild case of shingles a few years before, and I don’t want to get shingles ever again. But I’m sorry it’s hitting you that way. Whine away!

    The likeness of him seems to be patterned off his mugshot. I sort of hope some clerk at the Fulton County lockup gets a small royalty every time he uses that photo.

    Curiosity... Googling/image finds only the couple aged 30ish. I found his name, then his 2025 obituaries; no photo on the BBC website! but The Sun ran with a photo of them from 2017.

    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.

    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.

    @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 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.
