Because the laundry is moving outdoors! Yay!
The air is at shirtsleeve temperature by the middle of the morning but the water in the tank is still kind of cold. Neighbor L is still laundering my winter clothes because my way isn’t all that fun with heavier fabrics. But that’ll be going away gradually over the next several weeks…
And anyway I’m determined that these new gelsocks will seldom if ever see the inside of a washing machine. The old generation fell apart much quicker when I left them in with the winter laundry at L’s house.
With recent structural improvements I don’t hate winter with quite the passion I used to. But I still love spring just as much as ever.
I expect you’re confident that the herd won’t come a-wandering down that wash? Wouldn’t have to be Bully bully. The cows could rearrange things fairly effectively on their own…
The other day I thought it was spring too so I put the snow blower to bed for the season. Now as I look out my window I see the big fat fluffy flakes falling from the sky, sigh… Canada, ten months good skiing – two months bad skiing.
It may have not been the washer but the dryer that destroyed you socks. All clothing with elastic or lycra in it are weakened by the heat of a dryer. I air-dry such items like swim suits, support hosiery, and any undergarments made with that stuff. It makes those items last a whole lot longer.
No, Judy, not one of my gelsocks has ever seen the inside of a dryer. I promise.
“I expect you’re confident that the herd won’t come a-wandering down that wash?” Oh man, that COULD be a disaster, now that you mention it. I’ve seen cows take a liking to the strangest things. They once nibbled the ignition wires off of one of our tractors.
Not to worry, Ben. The rats have eaten Joel’s Jeep wiring at least 3 times. Any cows that tried it would have to fight the rats off and things would get ugly real quick.
That may be true, Zelda, but them rats ain’t gotten to his brand spankin’ new gel socks. Yet…
That’s good to know Joel because not everyone does. So because the gel portion of your socks isn’t as flexible as the knit part, the agitator on the washer beat the hell (stuffing) out of your socks.
