Turns out that most washing machines have filters too!
(Who knows this until they plug up?)
Anyway, if you are going to wash an old, bathroom rug (technically ‘washable’), take it to the laundromat. Unless you want to spend half an hour on YouTube, and another hour-and-half on a (wet) basement floor.
Their filters are easier to access!
Some YouTube guys referred to this as a ‘coin filter’: made no sense, until I cleared it.
Got almost $3!!!

USPS Informed Delivery can be amusing…. I scrambled the tracking number.
I just had this experience with my mother’s washer…. I didn’t get a photo of the filter but it was so plugged up I had to clean it twice with a run in between. It wasn’t passing the water and this is what came out on the floor when I removed the filter!
Those adjustable chokes were terrible… I had one on a Steven’s single shot and my neighbor had one on a Mossberg. When you adjusted the choke setting it moved the point of impact. That was a problem with birdshot and slugs!
The barrel itself should have been straightened at the factory as part of production. A co-worker at Williamsburg’s gunsmith shop worked as a barrel straightener for one of the quality aftermarket barrel makers when he first got out of gunsmith school. He told me about the process… the details of which escape me these years later. Barrels we made in the shop (hand forged, reamed and rifled) needed straightening too. Straightening has always been a given in making long barrels… not with much shorter handgun barrels. Whether a manufacturer’s QC was up to snuff is a different story!
Tree guy comes through again load of oak
What a pain in the butt this has been . I have to keep using the roofing torch to clear the bucket of frozen dirt 
Made little progress hitting some rather large boulders . I had to reroute the line as it went under the corner of the deck near the house . The deck was added many years after the house was built . I may have to go rent a medium size excavator. My little Kubota is struggling with the rocks

It can wait till the snow covers the beast of the east then.. Shoot me an address and I'll swing by with a maul.
We did a tree job for a young lady this morning.
Dead maple 20 yards from her House.
Brother got the logs, I got the firewood......no charge.

Cut Split Stack Burn
That was the symptom with my mother’s washer…. Worth a look!
Have a lot of old towels on hand!
I actually got off easy: at first I thought I needed a new pump (around $200).

So Allison and I went over to a friends house, dropped, split, and stacked several dead ash for her.
I was on the 8 pounder, women were using Fiskars.
Gotta keep the saws limber. Our friend felled and bucked up a couple of smaller ash, 10"ish, with her battery saw. I'm actually impressed with how well the saw works and how long a charge lets it cut. She's been attending gggGary's sawyer school and is getting the hang of it. Payment was some delicious home made chicken soup for lunch. I've had a shoulder bugging me, today taught it a lesson about slacking, feels better now.

I love the payment in food jobs.. I've gotten homemade cookies a few times. Last one, I told the lady "Sure, I'll save some to share with my wife..." didn't... 
A couple years ago me and a buddy I did a freebee busted-knuckles brake rotors and pads job for a single mom we know. She made us each a care package of 2 different kinds of cookies- omg they were awesome but didn't make it home either.
But maybe the best was payment in fresh baked bread a while back.. haven't had one of those in a while.
