  2. I'm the opposite, I try for a time when its not busy, but that doesnt ever seem to be the case. I get dirty looks but too bad. I just go out and sit in the truck til the washer is done and take them home to air dry. Like we were saying at the barn this weekend, discussing very muddy horses and blankets, there are 2 reasons people use laundromats: they dont have their own w/d or they dont want to put somethin in them!
