I figured out how to get the blade off the slicer so I can give it a good cleaning. I'm gonna take that extra bread machine and put it in storage. We rent a little storage space from the landlord that is about 4 miles from here on his farm. I need to go through that thing and get rid of some stuff. If you have had things in storage for 2 years you have never used I think you can get rid of it. Most of what is in there is my 200+ teddy bear collection.
