Clothesline Or Dryer?

It's getting that time of year I fear. Not only is it dark when I go to work but lately it is well before sunrise when I return home. The temperature is lovely now but will all too soon be ass biting cold (at least to me). When I lived in my mobile home code required that my electric clothes dryer had 4 prongs. Here in a brick home the outlet is only 3. I bought a 3 prong power cord but since I had my clothesline I put connecting the dryer on a back burner priority wise. On a scale of 1-10 it was an 11. The shorter days, cooler weather and increased precipitation that comes with our Autumn becoming Winter has jumped that little rewiring project up to about a 9. I can still hang laundry in spare rooms and such to air dry (and I most certainly shall) but when it's freezing out there's nothing like warm from the dryer socks and britches when I hit the front door.
When I lived in Colorado the weather there was bat shit crazy. One day I was working on the loading dock, took my shirt off and got a sunburn before lunch time. Quitting time was 5 PM but we closed early and all left at 3 because it was snowing so hard. The britches I had on the clothesline I could hold out like a board (after I broke the ice off the line). I only lived a couple of miles from work but still had to time it right, roll down my window, catch and snap my driver's side wiper blade to break off the ice. I made it home safely (obviously or I wouldn't be writing this now) stoked up my Buck wood burning stove and hunkered down. My 2 best amigos were Ken  and Dan. Ken worked construction and brought me a truckload of scrap 2 x 4's and such from his job site at least once a week. Dan ran his own landscape business, "Dan's Mile High Landscaping" .... free ad there, Dan! But he brought me any trees he cut down, limbs he'd trimmed and even some sod for my dead ass back yard. In Colorado at the time there was a dump fee for anything you took to the dump. Dan brung his tree cutting timber for me to burn in my wood stove to heat my house and leftover sod to try to build up my backyard. Win/win!
