    That was me last week. Even with those dry core shirts. Had to wait a while for it to dry enough as one got stuck while I was peeling it off the day before. Kinda funny...and frustrationg!

    I have to be careful removing soaked shirts because I panic if it gets stuck. Luckily my wife is right there to help.

    That's why (I) keep a sharp, very sharp pocket knife on me at all times! :handshake: I know that feeling... And, I've cut a few shirts over the years... :whistle:

    Yikes! My right arm sometimes cramps from my tendonitous while in the process so I stop. I had the 5yo grand daughter help one night when she was over. I made it amusing like I do everything else with her.

    We had to put some of those plastic garage storage "closets" together for my GF's mom a couple days ago. I took her hose and doused my head a couple times during their assembly. Makes all the difference.

    Maybe he figured he could double up and took both at the same time?

    It is sad, but it doesn't seem to get easier as time passes... We seem to be in about the same situation.

    The water temp was warm (to me) but I didn't measure it. Didn't have to worry about any "turtle heading" :p

    When I jumped off the dock, you could feel cooler water at the bottom-felt great!

    I always say that I would be just fine if I only had access to 3 stores....Aldi, Menards, and Rural King...although I'm sure my wife would want me to add Walmart to that list :rofl: :lol:

    Horrible IMO...More crap on the floor than on the shelves. Norwalk store is top notch though!

    I like Aldi's. The closest one is about 40 miles away. That might change.
