Laundry day

Today I had to tackle one of the tasks that you at home all take for granted, LAUNDRY!  In the RV world it is a really big deal.  Some have washers/dryers right in their rig but they have to worry about water & propane; others like me have to go to the dreaded laundrymat.  Today was that day!  We waited until later so that the crowds would be gone and we both had a book with us; we were ready to get it done.  First problem was when we arrived there is a big sign “NO PETS INSIDE”, not a big problem as Duke likes the car and we could get a walk in while the laundry is going.  Paul goes inside with the basket of laundry to the change machine and I start down the rows looking for 3-4 machines not in use.  I find the machines and look back to Paul who has been stopped by the owner.  They close at 8 pm and it is 7:45 pm, no way are they going to let us start our laundry.  After discussion they have this really fun service where they will do you laundry and fold it for 1.15 per lb, a good deal except our laundry weighed 40 lbs!  After some negiotating we arrive at a price that was $10 over what it would cost for us to use the machines the next day and we left our laundry, underwear, socks, everything!  I sure hope we get our clothes back!

    Aww… It’s like you’re college students, but you gotta know where the best time to do laundry is 2am No one is there. 7:45 is like prime time.

    But don’t worry. You can use my washer/dryer anytime, just like when i used to bring all my laundry home! (but I’m not doing it for you!!)
