As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
Last year we had to buy a new washing machine so chose a Maytag as they now say they are 10 or 20 year machines. As they are under warranty, I thought it was a good thing as I worry about things.
Uh uh, a year in, the warning message flashed, I think it is the actuator which went out. Why in the hell machines need computers and sensing things like Star Trek is beyond me as it is expensive. All you need is a water level shut off and leave it at that for a 300 dollar machine which will last 30 years.
So they told me the repairman would be out next week. Next week to me is Monday............it might be Friday as I know how this shit goes.
So I was pissed off about it all, and in that, the Holy Ghost told me to check out JYG's brother's pile of junk that the appliance store dumps off weekly. I mentioned it to TL and TL said there was a machine like our old one sitting there. Someone had dropped that off on their own.
So we walked over. It was there, went and asked JYG if I could borrow a dolly and away we went to steal a machine.........well I have permission now to graze, so all the adventure is gone, but will pay him 20 bucks for grazing when this is over. I guess that let slip that the machine worked.
So I asked JYG as he had this tripled end hose as I wanted to just use a cold water tap to feed this, as it was outside on the well pump and I needed two hoses feeding the washing machine. JYG had no idea where his was, but said the farm store might have them, so off we went,......no hoses but they had a splitter end which would work. The Holy Ghost reminded me had washing machine hoses from the old machine.........had a short hose from the seconds pile from before, so we came home, TL took care of things one way, and I did the other in hooking things up, and the machine worked.
The only thing I learned was the drain hose has to be higher than the ground as the second load I went to check as it was balls hot at 100 degrees outside, was sitting on WASH and not moving. So I tied the hose up to the intake hoses, reset and it washed the second load like the first.
Entire adventure cost me 3..69. A buck for the shitty powder detergent from the Thrift, the 2.69 for the splitter and that is thee entire show.
I had always wanted to see if a summer laundry would work in the brier, in just draining the water on the ground and having the machine set in some garage, and just hooked up to the hydrant, and this will work indeed.
I will therefore be grazing in the appliances dumped off as I helped a guy acquire one before and that worked just fine too, and was an expensive machine. This machine I think some Granny had it. She went geezer home. The new frau was whining to her husband who was not getting any sex that the machine was too small and they needed to upgrade. So they get the 1400 dollar machine, the husband looks at the original small one and thinks, "I just paid 350,000 for this machine in this house and I kind of am not going to throw it to the junk pile", so he sits it off nice, goes home, has to do the laundry as he is not having sex with the she bitch anyway.
I do like she bitches. I would they remodeled yearly as they are not having sex anyway, and need to fill up their time somehow, as it would give me piles of working things for free.
So my jeans are on a wire livestock panel drying as the pump is up by the livestock and it works better than a clothes line. I'm quite pleased with all of this, and I just hope that things work out that I get a half dozen working machines so I have a cushion in washing machines like I have in most other things.
The plan is now to build a home for this system as it works and have things for heavy loads or filthy loads as my laundry is free.
