Strange habits?
« on: March 30, 2023, 12:26:27 AM »
You know how those macho gun people rapidly reassemble their riffles on TV shows and movies? I like to do that with the 8 pieces that make up my blender after it has been washed.

People will come from strange lands to hear me speak my words of wisdom. They will ask me the secret of life and I will tell them. Then maybe I'll finish off with a song. The Nomad

:D  :D :D

I do the same with my rotary cheese grater (some very satisfying 'clicks'), and especially when reassembling my Morphy Richards cordless hoover after replacing filters and emptying the dust-filled thingy.

Then you stand in front of the mirror and say "Do you feel lucky, Punk...?", or "Are you talkin' to ME...?".

Don't you, Diane?
I apologise, in advance.

I would like to say that I did say those things as not to leave you hanging Tarqs, but that sounds a little nuts.

It's my Tassimo "Joy" coffee maker for me.
I get to strip it down and get to clean it all with hot water and specialist brushes.
Happens around once a month, gives me something to look forward to.

Do NOT  like cleaning my halogen oven, it's icky and greasy (sounds like a cheaper version of Itchy and Scratchy too).

Ah, the exciting spirit of retirement lives on .

It is nice to know Max that there is another home appliance soldier out there in the world.
