Wash Going On?

So.  I’m anticipating some disappointment when you find out that this is now kca blogging about Sunkist.  Similar to what my dad said in and older post, “Eli’s a tough act to follow” when it comes to writing and being witty.  But Eli is so busy with school and work that I think I’ll give a shot at catching everyone up.  I’ll start with a subject that is mostly my doing around our household: laundry.  It feels like a pretty good tradeoff: kca does the laundry, Eli does the cooking.
Big News: We have a washer and dryer!  Like everything else, to truly appreciate something, you must live without it for awhile.  Try that with heat.  Try that with laundry machines.  It makes these things absolute luxuries once you have them back in your life again.  And we don’t even have designated laundry nights like we did at our SF apartment where our stuff is tossed out of the machine and off to the side sopping wet if our wash cycle runs past midnight on those designated nights!  Nope.  We have these all to ourselves.  Thanks to Stan Stepnitz, who spent time sanding out the rust and re-finishing, our washer is not only functional, but it is beautiful!  Here they are.

Uh oh.  The washer leaks.  Not from one of the connections that could be fixed with mere tightening.  But from the bottom somewhere.  RR comes over to inspect it and finds a cracked water pump.  We order the replacement part online for $25, RR comes to replace it, and YES!, we have a washer that works and doesn’t leak!  Now let’s start doing some laundry.
