Your right Rancher, you have to be very careful what you think is a great gift and what the little woman thinks is a great gift.
Wifie, since he has already had the hunting trip and the washer is old, why not use that level. You never know.
Seriously, my wife bought the new Kenmore front loader and the dryer to match. I figured after only 35 years or so with old ones, I owed her that much. (Do I get a whataguy?) She loves it. I watch that thing going back and fourth so slowly, I have no clue how it cleans cloths, but it does. It's so quiet, you can't hear it until the final spin, and then all you hear is the water going into the laundry tub. It's truly amazing. Kind of like my new ToTo toilet in the Pool Room. Whoooooosh.
Merry Christmas,
