But if you use the socks for rags, what do you put the coffee grounds in before you throw them in the coffee pot? At least that's what we use out here in the west.

Colin, I'm not too sure what you are complaining about? On my thread about applying paste wax they turned into talk about "not eating yellow snow"! I wait with baited breathe to see what they are going to do the next poor innocent soul that trys to post a Tips and Tricks.

Every once in a while I take and cut them in from the toe to the opening. They make the best shop rags and paint rags. I was just cutting up about ten of them today and thought I would share that tip.
