New washing machine procured, inauguration observed, inaugural poem listened to and now on to the rest I guess.
THe nice man at Rensselaer Appliance listened to my question about “where’s the thing that sits on top of the center post in there? you know, you can put the soap in it and the water flows through it?” and paused before asking, “does your washer have angled corners on the lid?”
When I answered yes, he exclaimed that it had been a REALLY long time since they had taken one of those out of a house. A REALLY long time. In other words, it really is as old as I thought it was.
So it’s all good. And they don’t have that central catcher thing anymore LOL.
