Productive day! Very nice of your neighbor. He needs some mittens, I think, LOL!
The neighbor won’t accept payment (we had his cell number & called) - we know he had to go across the scales at the dump & pay by weight ... what he had on the trailer wouldn’t pass for “household” trash, which is only $3. I drove around the neighborhood & found his truck so I know where he lives. Dad wants to get him a Christmas ham .... I hope he’s not a vegetarian (he doesn’t look like one) LOL!
I have adopted a more aggressive drying strategy & now have a box fan set up, blowing directly on my stocking. It’s tilted down/propped up so the stocking is getting a lot of air ... those stitches are really thick & quite wet, despite rolling the stocking in some thick towels. The “buckling” around the heel is gone ... just hope the cuff blocks into the wider shape.
