Flume and Liberty Loop with The Oz Man

Hiked the Mts. Flume and Liberty loop with The Oz Man yesterday. Went up via the Flume Slide. That was a kick in the pants! Very steep, wet, slippery, lots of loose skree, had to help The Oz Man up ledges several times. We were both hurtin' units when we got to the top of Mt. Flume. But, WOW, what a gorgeous bluebird day! I saw that blue sky and those forever views and forgot about all the pain and fatigue. I tried to capture the essence of the hike in this video. Enjoy!    <iframe src="http:

New Personal Hygiene Appliance for Future Appliance Repairs

You old timers remember back in the day when we used to get service calls on scrotum scrubbers? Yeah, I was really glad when people stopped using those. Well, just when you thought the bad old days were gone for good, get ready, guys, because there's a new, even more disgusting personal hygiene appliance coming to the market that we'll be getting calls on: the butt wiper. Coming to a neighborhood near you:

Hillstomping Update: Mt. Sava with the Oz Man, 3/15/2011

Up the Ammonusuc Trail and down the Jewell Trail. Amazing conditions for these last few days of winter: snow was still stiff, consolidated and buoyant, warm temps (around 0F with wind chill), and full on sunshine on this bluebird day. Lots of other hikers out, too-- look for 'em in the slideshow, best viewed in full-screen mode with your volume turned up so you can groove on the soundtrack.

Frigidaire FEZ831AS1 stack laundry unit: washer has no brakes, tub free-spins; doesn't agitate clothes

Example model number: FEZ831AS1 The most annoying part of this problem is that as it agitates, the agitator goes one direction and the basket spins the other. So the clothes never agitate they just spin with the basket. Makes you think the basket brake is broken. Except there's one problem, Sublime Master appl.tech.2901 explains...

Early Spring Hillstomp up Smarts Mountain

Share the Gospel of Appliantology, change the world, and retire early!

How to build your own custom library of tech documents on a Kindle Fire, iPad, or other tablet in 4 easy steps!

Having the right technical document with you on a service call and knowing how to use it are the two key ingredients to getting an appliance properly diagnosed and repaired. Does that mean that you should try to find a mobile device that is already pre-loaded with appliance repair technical documents? There are several downsides to this approach, including the fact that you don’t know how current or relevant the pre-loaded docs are. Instead, you can easily create your own information arsenal usi
