If this fix holds they may outlive me

That sounds about right
That driver’s parking abilities might qualify him/her for one.
When I bought my first house in 2002 I got the cheapest washer and dryer I could find at Home Depot, I think I paid less than $400 for the pair. The dryer died last year but the washer keeps on washing with no issues. Who needs those fancy front loading washers with 100 different washing options.This morning The Spousal Unit called me down to the laundry room because her 50+ year old washing machine was making weird noises instead of going through the spin-dry cycle. She was right, something was seriously amiss. Big sigh as it's so tight in the laundry room I have to completely remove the drier first to get the washer out to my shop to tear down. Big pita, but I got it done and have parts all over the shop now.

I figured it had blown the transmission - and I actually have a spare transmission for this machine (long story), you can see two trannies on the bench as I was preparing to transfer parts from old to new. But when I split the motor and trans apart, I discovered what had broken: one of the spiders for the flexible coupler between the motor and transmission blew out (see the radial crack) and the motor shaft was just spinning inside the broken spider.

A whole new coupler costs just $8 delivered by Amazon this Thursday, as opposed to spending $1400~2000 to replace the two machines. Not a difficult decision for me

That's a different kind of handicapped....
Of course. Full metric and imperial sockets/torx/allen/etc bits in that red tool chest on the bench top

BTW- it’s Donder
That's Dunder. And Blixem.
I thought it was Dunder Mifflin.
Who’s old enough to remember the Bonanza 88 cent stores?
My wife and I bought these tree ornaments in 1971, the first Christmas after we were married. The box at the top must have been the really good ones. That box cost 99 cents. Asian labor must have been really cheap 50+ years ago. The ornaments are glass and the designs are hand painted.

Look at the plants and animals in Arizona! 115° (f) doesn't make ANYTHING soft!
speaking of which, i've had my thermostat running ~80f for the inside, because it life ONLY 59f outside!
edit: and yeah unless it hits 90°F inside, the A/C isn't worth the power bill to run for me.....

Guessing not everyone will get this.
i was just helping at a garage sale trying to help someone unload one for $4500....
One of Buffalo Springfield's few hits...
there is a 21 age limit here? i'd have to be a toddler.....
Yeah, though Stephen Stills did all right after he hooked up with those other guys…
And after as a solo act. With those killer sideburns.
Neil Young has to be the better solo act though. In between stabbing people, I mean
Stills/Hillman's self-titled Manassas album is one of my personal desert island discs. It's generally regarded as one of the more essential albums of the 70's.
I'm wanting to get something like an Avant 530 compact loader, but not an Avant bc they are expensive as F, but in the same weight/size class.
isn't there a movie with a joke about "not sure"?
