More Adventures in Laundry

The fuzz has mentioned being involved in some new pursuits these days.  Well one of these involves the mysteries of the Laundry Room (and it's equipment).  
 With His Sweetie off in town, he decided to tackle the seemingly simple task of running a couple loads of laundry.  This pix may help to illustrate this adventure.


 This is a dryer.  You will notice a knob, some pliers, and a lot of black fuzz.

 First the knob.  In order to operate the dryer, one must first set the timer with the knob.  This would seem to be a simple enough thing, but somehow Our Fuzz managed to screw up the knob in the process.  He hopes to someday find a replacement.

The pliers were used by The Resourceful Fuzz to get the dryer to work so he would not have a huge pile of wet clothes when His Sweetie returned.

Now about the black fuzz.  It seems that on a recent trip to one of the Super Duper Thriftstores, the Young Daughter* had acquired a large fuzzy jacket of some kind.  Not wishing to half ass his laundry chore, The Fuzz included this item in the load of wash.  When he opened the washer, and started to remove what he expected to be clean clothes, he found them all embedded with this black fuzz!  Now what!

It is amazing the things that can complicate a simple thing like washing up a few dirty clothes.  We are happy to relate, that after a trip though the dryer (with several cleanings of the lint filter) all that fuzz did come off of the clothes.  Now The Fuzz just has to find a new knob somewhere.  Are there washing machine junkyards?

*The Fuzz toyed with the idea of blaming her for this trouble.  But that wouldn't really be right.  Like Harry Trueman said, "The buck stops here".
