I bought a big trampoline after my son was diagnosed with CF. It's fun and it helps move the mucus around. I came up with a new use for it this year. When we wash towels I lay them out on the trampoline and they dry within 1 hour time if the sun is out. The tarp is black and it really gets hot. Instead of running the dryer on high, it saves energy, money and CO2 emissions. My wife did complain that they were a little rough, so I toss them in the dryer on no heat with a dryer sheet to tumble for 15 minutes. Just a thought to save a little money. I have not expanded this to other clothes yet, just towels so far, but hey its a start. I have toyed with the idea of getting a clothes line, but havent ventured there yet......Baby Steps....
