It was a good trip. I-40 is a scenic highway. I didn't realize Oklahoma had such wooded rolling terrain. Scanning the radio all the time you hear some really weird stuff. Even heard what I am pretty sure is a Navaho language radio station in New Mexico. Good trip but today I have low energy.

They were a popular store on the US east coast in the 1990s. They sold white goods and furniture if memory serves. They also had a catalog if I am not mistaken.

Coming as I do from California the auto parts stores do not stock windshield washer fluid with de-icing agent in it. Most of us just use straight water. Not the first time this has happened. Same problem with my wife's Avalon several years ago and it can get downright cold at night in our...

That's a good question. I always assumed they were.

How about a replacement hose from Perfect or Clean Obsessed? Same canister connection as the Super J uses and they seem to pay attention to quality. I have a Perfect and aside from color and a power nozzle on off switch it is indistinguishable from an Electrolux hose.

I know of a couple of places that would sell me one. I almost bought a set then decided to fix the GEs I have and keep them a few more years.

Years ago I saw an old 1970s Dodge the owner had put a four cylinder 2-stroke Detroit diesel in. If I remember the story correctly he got the motor out of an old US Navy 24 foot motor lifeboat.

With Speed Queen the dynamic parts of the commercial models are shared with the lower tier residential models that still use the older agitation style ( I cannot remember model numbers off the top of my head ) but the residential models have a different front panel and circuit board where the...

The whole point seems to be to punish us for being civil servants. There is a cohort who deeply resent us.

I can't use those. I buy the narrow parquet floor brushes because I can sneak them sideways to clean between the desk and wall or into similar narrow gaps.

Are the wheels out of round? The image makes them look oval. Axles with new wheels are on eBay most of the time.

They are probably coming out of the same factory in China.

There will be a tidal wave of retirements this month. A lot of employees took the early out they offered and now find out they cannot collect any retirement pay. There is some serious anger at my old job.

Their stuff is over priced for what you get. I can get the same basic parquet floor brush WW wants $45 for from the local vac shop for around $17. Functionally identical, just doesn't have a fancy German name. The German name doesn't clean my house better.
