by Samurai Appliance Repair Man on October 30, 2004

in Hillstomping Update

Timing is everything and we timed this one right. After struggling up the Falling Waters Trail to the summit of Little Haystack on the Franconia Ridge, our eyeballs were treated to a feast of dramatic mountain vistas, White Mountain style. Here, see for yourself.

by Samurai Appliance Repair Man on October 30, 2004

in Washer Repair

These washers have been out for a few years and I’m starting to see more of them in the field. They are extremely reliable machines. Although they’re designed for residential use, I’ve seen them used in commercial applications, sustaining daily, continuous use for several years. This is a top loading machine, [...]

Most People are Libertarians…And Don’t Even Know It!

by Samurai Appliance Repair Man on October 28, 2004

in Gubmint

Not exactly a conservative? Not precisely a liberal? Not quite sure at all? What do those labels mean, anyway? Most people have the nagging feeling that this left-right, liberal-conservative pap that Big Media smears us with every day is far too narrow a view. The fact is that these labels [...]

that groove while replacing the belt or idler wheel, when you [...]

If You’re a Dumbass, Please Don’t Vote!

by Samurai Appliance Repair Man on October 27, 2004

in Gubmint

I don’t understand all these bleeting appeals to get out and vote. Could someone please answer this question for me: if people are ignorant about the pressing issues of the day, the principles of individual liberty upon which this nation was founded, or the basic structure and function of our government, then why [...]

Toll-Free Appliance Repair Hotline Update

by Samurai Appliance Repair Man on October 27, 2004

in Website Updates

Due to time constraints, I’ve been unable to return calls on the Toll-Free Appliance Repair Hotline for the past several days. Consequently, so many messages had piled up that there was no way I was going to be able to return them. So I had to delete them and start fresh. Hey, [...]

Appliance Repair Revelation: Fisher & Paykel DD602 Dishdrawer: F1 code

by Samurai Appliance Repair Man on October 25, 2004

in Dishwasher Repair

I had the opportunity to work on a Fisher & Paykel DD602 dishdrawer a couple days ago. By the way, I’m a big fan of Fisher & Paykel equipment–if you ever have the opportunity to work on one, you’ll see why. The engineering is elegant in its simplicity. Well-engineered equipment is actually [...]

Eeyore and Mrs. Samurai

by Mrs. Samurai on October 23, 2004

in Gubmint

Mrs. Samurai recently found out that a very nice friend was planning to vote
for John Kerry. When asked “My heavens, why?!”, this friend, whom we will call
Eeyore, responded with her concerns (to put it mildly) about the Republican
party. Mrs. Samurai responded to these concerns in the hopes of opening Eeyore’s
eyes to the truth of the [...]

I just submitted this letter to my local newspaper. It succinctly explains the often-overlooked scientific arguments that support the pro-life position. If you like this letter, feel free to use as much of it as you want in your own letter to your local rag.

Dear Editor:
Let me first state that I support neither Kerry [...]

Orwellian Leftist Term of the Day: Social Justice, Man

by Samurai Appliance Repair Man on October 22, 2004

in Gubmint

One of the intellectually-bankrupt Left’s favorite terms to throw around is Social Justice. What Leftists (i.e., communists, socialists, and fascists) really mean by this lofty term is, “I’ll use government force to steal the fruits of your labor (usually money via taxation) that you’ve honestly earned through your own work and creativity and give [...]
