Huh. My wife throws her Smartwool sock in the drier all the time and they are fine. Were yours the really thick hiking kind or the daily wear thinner kind?

They were the thick kind. You can dry them but they lose a lot of their soft fluffiness and shrink a bit. So now I have one super soft and fluffy one and one that is not so super soft and fluffy and about an inch shorter..

I don't know why for sure, but I just lol'd at the image of this big old fluffy sock next to a sad little went-through-the-dryer sock.

You're sick. It's not funny at all.
Every time you laugh at a shrunken sock Jesus kicks a puppy.

I'm sorry. I really should think of the socks. I shouldn't be such a sock extremist.

You're not the extremist, talk to the sick son of a bitch who wantonly threw that sock in the dryer.

Hey, yeah, you're right. I'm just reporting as I see it. I'm like the sock media. But sure, now I'm going to get blamed because a whole bunch of copycats are going to start throwing one of a pair of smartwool socks into the dryer. Like I created some sort of frenzy. Like I create the terror. hmmmph

for fuck's sake, run the *other* one through the dryer too, and make them match. until then, I see you walking in circles.

 The heat at my farm house went off when it was -2. I had checked the house the morning before, but it must have been cooling down then - just not enough to notice. Friday morning, 5 cracked radiators (the old cast iron ones built into the wall). Just had the $$@@!!??? furnace cleaned too. Going to just get heat going where we can next week, then wait until warmer weather to continue.

Huge bummer, nowhereman.
 What caused the boiler to fail, interrupted fuel, failed pump, electrical fault? Even at -2 ( I assume F, or -19 C) to break the radiators that fast is crazy, even in an un-insulated farm house. Like you said, it must have been cooling when you checked it. How did you discover the five were broken, frozen up with no heat means no water running crossed the room to tip you off. Hopefully you can prevent more damage by containing the water as it thaws.
