My husband is a man of many hobbies. He collects, everything!! Today he got out a pair of binoculars he found at the local household exchange shop. They are fine, but the case was dirty. He washed it, scrubbed it and got it clean. He asked me where he should hang it to dry. I mentioned the laundry room. No, I mentioned the deck, he said "No, it is going to rain", so he hung it on the un roofed front porch!!!!!
