Now I know.
I guess would keep some people from having Tide pods around, so they wouldn't be tempted to eat them. I just put a shelf about the washer, and let it rip from up there. No mess.

I kept mine in the cabinet above the washer.I placed it on a piece of 1x6 so it would slide out avoiding the lip, and I tossed the cup in the washer with the laundry. Easy peasy.. (Right now, I'm using an ultra-concentrated detergent that comes in a pump bottle, so no cups.) Novel idea, though.

Those taillights look like Civic and Accord. Am I right?
They kinda look like the Civic but have a white back up light.
The Civic is solid red and has the back-up light on the trunk part of the light not the outer fender.

Love the pods.
Can't use pods, my super efficient washer doesn't run the clothes long enough to completely consume the plastic. it then gets stuck to something in the dryer.
Need the super efficient washer to not overload the drain field when wife and all kids do wash on same day.

I love my wife and kids. They are all really smart (most days). When I'm not looking though, they can come up with new ways to fick stuff up that exceed any of the stupidity I saw in dealing with the Gomer Gump level of people I encountered in the corps.
I envision that the board moves slightly (during a more violent than usual spin cycle) and instead of moving it back, someone squirts the detergent on the floor, slips in it and doesn't clean it up, then doesn't complain about their smelly clothes only because it would implicate them on the mess.

I hate these modern efficiency-focused appliances. I like the old ones that worked.

So, Are the 7700 torsion bars bigger that the normal F150 ones?
Someone in another thread was looking for that info a while back.
