Tossing tennis balls into the dryer is a popular laundry hack used to fluff bulky items like down comforters, sleeping bags, and puffy jackets. The bouncing balls break up clumps in the filling, improve air circulation, and help your laundry dry faster.How to Use Tennis Balls SafelyUse New, Clean Balls: Only use brand-new or perfectly clean tennis balls so you don't transfer old dirt, dust, or court grime onto your freshly washed laundry.Protect the Fabrics: To prevent bright neon dyes from transferring or loose rubber from scuffing your clothes, place the tennis balls inside an old white cotton sock or a zippered mesh laundry bag.Adjust the Heat: Set your dryer to low or medium heat. High heat can cause the rubber core of a tennis ball to warp or smell strongly of rubber

My wife has used both tennis ball-like both soft and hard plastic balls for the same purpose. I don't know if they are worth a damn or not but use them when throwing clothes in the dryer.

My best laundry skill is cleaning out the dryer filter. A skill one of my grandsons never was able to master.

No. Just no. That car has one of these:

In the early 1960's that was, when race tuned, a Formula 1 engine. Mine just got a brand new block from Ford Motor Racing

40 lbs. lighter, stronger, and more accurately cast and machined. Just a mere $2200. The parts guys at the Ford dealer I bought it through were totally impressed. It blindsided them that Ford sold Lotus parts.

The Weber carb rebuilder, liked that I was doing a project car with the grandkid because so few kids today are motorheads. He put our picture up next to Ralph Lauren's on his display of customers.

Here it is back from the engine builder's shop. You don't want to know what I sunk into getting that engine rebuilt.
