Interesting. We had a whole house humidifier as well (for winter only), and the washer was in the basement where is was prone to high humidity in the Summer. Thus had to run a dehumidifier! Like your situation, the instruments were more comfortable. We even have a climate/humidity system on the Baldwin. Makes it much happier and keeps it more in tune.

Thunderbird!

Those humidifiers attached to the furnace are just mold growing machines.

I’ve been playing a lot during this lockdown and can honestly say I’m a better player now than I was when I played out back in the day. I couldn’t imagine getting this far back into music when I started back about seven years ago. Most everything else takes a back seat these days. A lot of it has to do with Thunderbirds.

I have unfortunately atrophied a bit. Work ramped up, oddly enough, and I'm barely keeping up for the time being. There's a reason I haven't been quite as visible around here lately. I have been playing drums when I can, but have been neglecting the Thunderbirds badly. That's not good at all.

The idea of being retired is beginning to be appealing. It won't happen for another ten years, most likely, though. It's a first world problem.

I have a date for retirement of 03/01/2025. It can’t come soon enough.

Just vibrate the dirt, pollen, and stains out. The real dry cleaning! At least, if you play your THUNDERBIRD through the washer.

Pro tip: Save the neck pickup for the nastier stains, such as dried blood or paint.

I will always have a top loader and after the laundry moves to the dryer, the door remains open to let the residual water evaporate. No mildew smell ever.

Sharon's mom gave us her old front loader years ago. When I realized the problems with it, we got rid of it. Possibly Goodwill, I forget.
Sharon learned the trick of leaving even the top loader open when empty. Works great.

Agreed. On my hospital project, they may require network connectivity for macerators.

I thought hospitals pioneered the IoT. "Yeah, we got a 2VAC drop on receptacle 1134D with nothing plugged in. And the wasp nest in Building 13 corner NW2A? Temp is dipping a bit too much at night; the pupae are in danger. Let me know if you need MAC addresses."
