light portable washer

Tried out my light portable washer at a campground.  It worked out very well.  I washed two shirts, two pair of compression socks, two pair of underwear and one gym short.  Could have done three shirts, socks and underwear and the shorts. 

The wash cycle had no vibration, for the spin cycle I put one shirt at a time in the spinner and split the rest between two additional more spin cycles for them.  All spins were three minutes each and I had to keep my hand on the machine to stop the vibrations which was not a problem for me to do.  Taking the close out and hanging them on the line reminded me of the 60's and 70's when my mom used the clothes lines.  Once dry the shirts are a little stiff till on, but other then that everything worked great.

Spring and Slides

Spring is a great time of year.  The plants are blooming and the hill sides are sliding.  The photo below shows a road right after cleanup.  As the hillside unfreezes the weight of the new moisture now in the dirt is too much weight and moves the dirt down hill.  Most of the time it is simply a mud slide however on occasion sticks and stones may be in the mix.
