I Hate Those Meces To Pieces

Well, the other day I was trying to dry my socks to get ready for a job in Corpus Christi, TX. I set the timer for 50 minutes and went about my business in the yard and checked the socks when the timer went off.
To my surprise the socks were not dry and I said to myself no, no, no, I don't have time to deal with this.
So I turned the dryer on again thinking that the dryer was not heating up. Wrong, the dryer heated up but I looked outside and no air was coming out of the vent.
I opened up the first flap and saw that the vent was plugged with something and my first thought was what had I put thru the dryer to cause this much back up.

I discovered that a mouse had decided to make our dryer vent a home for wayward mice. I pulled and pulled and the pictures tell what I got out of the vent.
Not surprising, the dryer did dry the socks in fairly short order.
