The Samurai is live on-location here in Bagdad, Kentucky, and I’m talking to Delmus MacDaniel.
Samurai: Delmus, we know this is a war against the regime of Saddam Hussein and not against the Iraqi people. Do you have anything you’d like to say to the people of Iraq and particularly the people of your […]

So my birthday came and went. How many people do you think emailed me happy birthday wishes? I’ll tell you: exactly one. Was it my mother? No. My sister? Nope. Saddam Hussein was the only person in the world to email a happy birthday wish to […]

Made a couple of great hikes up to the Franconia Ridge last week. The first one was up the Falling Waters trail on an overcast day to the summit of Little Haystack Mountain where I had an impressive view of Mt. Lafayette at the other end of the ridge. The Falling Waters trail […]

Hey. How y’all doin’? You’ve probably had your eyeballs glued on Fox News watching the fireworks show in that sandbox over there in the middle east. Yeah, me too. Every now and then, I’ll change to another channel where they’re giving free publicity to the beautiful people protesting the war.

I’ve added a repair forum index page to the Appliantology group to help make the accumulated pearls of appliance repair wisdom contained therein more accessible.

So your Maytag Atlantis washer finishes spinning the water out of your clothes and then squeals like a Burmese war pig in heat. Since you’re a fixit kind of a guy, you dutifully check for foreign objects between the inner basket and the tub. Nothing. You even check for restictions under the […]

There’s a new domain in town and his name is Appliantology.org. It’s the new domain name for The Appliantology Group. So now instead of having a long, hairy URL like http://groups.msn.com/Appliantology/homepage.msnw, all you need to do is enter appliantology.org in your browser and you’ll be mystically transported to the Illuminati of Appliance Repair.

Ahh, Grasshopper, you are about to embark on the artistic side of appliance repair. There’s more to changing a fridge door gasket than just turning a few screws…not much more, but enough so that if you’re not aware of them, you’ll do a crappy job.

Several Appliantology group members have earned the coveted distinction of a free live appliance repair help session.
