I wish I could say the same Jimmy lol. Washer and dryer 2007 models both are bad so we have to use laundromat. Hopefully with my raise I can help my parents get new ones.
What are you doing right now?

for various reasons, lately I've been drinking a lot of coffee past 11am.
paying the consequence now---pushing through a big caffeine withdrawl headache right now.
going cold turkey starting tomorrow, no more coffee past 7am.

Unfortunately I doubt if we buy new we'd only get maybe 5 years out of them
Today is a reminder that racing is dangerous. This afternoon as I watched from down course, Chris Raschke 60, was making a pass in Speed Demon III. The car became airborne, and came down hard. The emergency medical personnel reached him quickly, but were unable to save him.
The crash is under investigation.
Godspeed, Chris

Very true. I think we’ve been without a functioning washer and dryer since 2023 so we got good life but nothing today is going to last. All the appliances I’ve looked at feel like cheaply made plastic.
That's a bummer, I can't imagine living without a washer and drier. I'm not allowed to touch ours; it's hallowed ground by She Who Must Be Obeyed. Buying was a well though out process, lots of stress, and I worry about when they die.
But they do like to play music tunes when done, and can be set to send email when done. I love when my wife gets mad about it telling her that perhaps she should not use the quick wash, as it's hard on clothes and such. Woman has an advanced degree in biochemistry, taken several calculus classes--and can be reduced to arguing with an inanimate machine. I laugh (in silence, lest I be the next target).

Don't buy the cheap Amana. It supposedly has a control board issue in recent times.

We usually do GE for appliances or Maytag.

I am pretty sure that the washer and dryer combo in my condo is the original one and so it’s about 30 years old. Both still work!
