>How are you feeling now littleman?
Still a bit under the weather, but I did have a busy Sunday of getting chores done. After our fourth washing machine died in 17 years (it was only 2 years old and had the transmission break, a $200 part and a lot of work to install) I dreaded the thought of shelling out $500 for another machine. Modern appliance quality really isn't what it use to be. So, I looked on craigslist and found a used unit for $20. I borrowed a van and took my weight lifting daughter with me to grab it. We showed up with some lifting straps. The man at the door was very distraught. I think it really bothered him that a girl was going to help me pick up the machine. I finally told him that she's stronger than she looks, then my daughter said, "I can leg press 530, I'm fine."
Anyway, I put the $20 machine in place and it seems to be working fine. It looks to be from the 1980s. I figure, if it lasts six months I am ahead.
