It's a New Day for Ironing!!!!
Last night I was visiting Members of the Beacon Hill Architectural and Academic communities (Civic Duty, Noblesse Oblige, etc) and took them to task about their wonderful, wonderful ironing machine that they were using as a cat food stand in their basement.
Those of you who know those to whom I am refering to are doubtless incredulous, and asking yourself the question "What? They Iron?"
Well, no. And that's why it was being used as a cat food stand. That would be degrading enough for the poor ironing machine, but the real cincher is that it is a Maytag - made in Newton, Iowa, where The Professor hails from!
They had never used it (It came with the house) So we dusted it off, and fired it up, and lo and behold, it still worked!!!! So after nagging and pleading, and even offering my body for ravage, they acquiesed, and now it is OURS!!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, We bring you the Maytag Ironing Machine!!!

AWWWW the Ironing machine.
I learned how to Iron on one we had growing up. It was called the "Ironrite". It really makes ironing shirts, sheets and large quantities of laundry much easier to iron.
But stay away from starch. It tends to gum up the iron part and you go through the pads much quicker.
Have fun!
