This late nite denizen is getting clothes washed and dried.
It's taken a while, because we had to re-wire the plug for the dryer. Our connection was a four-prong plug, but the electric dryer we bought only had a three-prong plug, which of course was completely wrong. Der Brucer and I had gone to Home Depot, and bought what we thought was the correct four-prong plug, but it wasn't. It was a four-prong plug for electric ranges, which are configured differently from those used on electric dryers.
No, we haven't figured out the logic behind that one.
So back we went to Home Depot, to get the correct four-prong plug. And the first one we grabbed from the four-prong plugs for electric dryers bin was...you guessed it, a four-prong plug for electric ranges. It turned out that the bin for four-prong plugs for electric ranges was full, so someone had dumped a bunch of four-prong plugs for electric ranges in the bin for four-prong plugs for electric dryers.
Finally finding the correct four-prong plug, for electric dryers and not for electric ranges, we headed home and correctly hooked up the electric dryer. But not until after we had dinner, which consisted of a roast chicken with stuffing and spinach, and was quite delish.
So now we're happily drying our clothes.
Isn't this just marvelous news?
