60+ year old thread.

No problem Mike...always open to new porch folks. Less filling the cooler we have to do

 

Same here. But the next year, speed queen changed the drive system, for some reason, and it wasn't as good.

Oh wait...maximizing profits.

 

Get the term right "planned obsolescence".

 

Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Have the HVAC and Plumbing guys coming this afternoon for an "inspection and tune" of the whole house. AC guy we used to use retired, sold his local business to another firm, but insisted they give all his customers this complimentary service for a year. Well, OK. I guess I'll buy it in advance after this, because if anything DOES go bad, we go to the top or the service call list. That's all I'm planning for today, except maybe actually cover the vehicles for tonight - they keep upping the hail ante.

 

Listening to the news about sapcex, they had an 'rapid unscheduled disassembly'

 

Whut ?

 

Sorry that was a 'rapid unscheduled disassembly'


It done blew up

 

Yea just watched it. Never separated..
Hey that’s why testing and unmanned stuff happens.
Can’t figure out why they want to flip it to do that.

 

Rocket is stainless steel. Cheap but heavy.
36 engines didn't go off at the same time. Flip...boom

 

Can't get good help these days to get stuff working right the first time .

 

I don't like challenging the weather, but they just won't give up talking about hail tonight. First ever use, with a moving blanket underneath...

 

When hail is forecast I pull the boat out and cover it. Then the car, jeep, truck, and Harley go in.

 

IF, and that is a big IF, the garage were empty, I MIGHT fit the RAV in it. But, I hope that preventive measure means nature will just ignore us!

 

Park them in my driveway, it's supposed to be 90° this weekend

 

You want me to wash them too?

Oh wait. You HAD rain!

 

I have washed my truck 3 times in the last 12 years

 

LOL... I washed mine about a week ago. I've owned it two (?) years. I don't remember ever washing the Corolla.

As for hail damage. I've had some insurance pay off on a vehicle I owned. I pocketed the money and sold the car for a profit.

 

Welp, it worked. Except I didn't even get needed rain....

 

Good morning >60.
