I bought some T shirts the other day and they had that new feel and
smell that needed to be washed out. I had some other things that could
go into the wash. The only problem was that I was not going to have
enough air dry time because it is supposed to rain here this afternoon.
I figured I could give it partial air drying by leaving it out until the
rain was imminent.


I had some cardboard boxes and bags of papers that needed to be burned,
and a pile of brush to get rid off. I hauled the paper and cardboard
out to the brush pile and set it alight. Once it was going will I
figured I could mow the lawn and keep an eye on the fire. By the time I
finished the lawn there were just a couple smouldering chunks of wood
left so I pushed them into the centre of the burn pit. I checked the sky
and figured it was time to bring the laundry in. It was almost dry.
Just as I was heading back into the house the rain started. The weather
radio indicates that it will be pouring rain any minute now.

Indeed, almost as fascinating as an ingredient list for a different
item than the one being discussed.

I hung out sheets Monday and glad I didn't wimp out because they had predicted
a very good chance of rain. It was sunny the entire day and pretty much
a steady breeze as well. It drizzled rain a.l.l. day Tuesday.

What can I say? Mine got a partial air drying. It started raining a bit
while I was headed to the house. I threw them into the dryer and it
started raining harder. It went on for hours. In fact it is still
raining and the weather networking is talking about rain overnight and
tomorrow. I saved a few pennies on electricity with the two hours on
the line.

Ah well, that's a shame.
