Pat and I finished the laundry early today. Unfortunately my laundry quarter purse was empty before the cloths were all dry (pat consolidated 2 washers into one dryer, they didn't dry because it was too full). So he went on a quarter hunt in the apartment then added the additional quarters to the dryer that needed another cycle.
When we went back to get the dry cloths i noticed 2 of the 3 dryers are still running. I was all set to come back in 10 minutes when pat said that he added an additional quarter to the end dryer because he had an extra one.
'you mean you put an extra quarter in the free dryer?'
'What' replies Pat
'You put an extra quarter in a dryer that did not require quarters?' I asked again.
'It gave it an extra 10 minutes' says pat.
'if you had just pushed the button you would have received a free 11 minutes' I said
'I didn't know it was free'
The washers at the apartment complex are occasionally free. This is obviously a mistake as it is normally only one or two of the 4. It is easy to tell because they don't flash a price (washers) or ask only for the additional .25 (dryers). Apparently Pat's powers of observation only apply to his day job. In the end that $.25 was worth every wasted penny as an amusement for the morning.
As for the afternoon we went to the season's first rock show. I do like looking at the fossils and the sparkly rocks but strenuously object to bringing any home. Pat loves to look as well as collect. We have an apartment full of rocks. He (since I started objecting) sticks to the small ones which is nice because they can be hidden away. (not from me but for me). Today's show was nice and small with a surprising amount of fossils. It was a nice day together.
