Was just going to say I took a 2 mile walk on Cottonwood Saturday morning.

One thing the salesman taught me was the drum i side used to be made of steel. That changed due to costs, etc. and now parts are fiberglass, etc. He seemed to imply that the good quality went away with steel parts.

Touché

Mine cane with a 10 year warranty. Parts and labor.

I disagree. The guy who sold me mine has been working in appliances sales for over 30 years. He knew I wanted American made, simple, for life. He went through stats and consumer reports details with me for over an hour. Guy was brilliant.

I have these after 25 years of other brands and styles. Will have for the next 30 years! I use quick cycle and gentle for almost everything. Best purchase I’ve made!

>and we also used to have a columbia basin ecosystem capable of feeding millions of people with salmon runs.

Have you seen this? It was on PBS last week. Gutwrenching.

Just watched an eye opening documentary on PBS this past week on the plight of the NW salmon. It is worth watching.
