    ===> Here's a funny story:

    You know those "thumper cars" that usually end-up next to you at a stop light, with bass speakers pounding away and some unitelligible 'music' / rap blaring away?

    I was with my youngest daughter (the Ewok) at a light, and one pulled right up next to us - loud, loud. After a few moments, I had had it. Maybe if I didn't want to listen to HIS music, he may not want to listen to MINE! (Brilliant!)

    I put an old Flatt and Scruggs CD in the player, opened the window and wound-up Earl Scruggs version of "Earl's Breakdown"- max volume. You would think I shot the kid! The look on his face was priceless! He finally got the message after I "Scruggs'd him" (Ewok's term), and turned it down. He floored it to get away when the light turned. Now, I await situations where I can "Scruggs 'em" with Banjo music!!

    What fun!

    And that was from the bargain bin .

    As for closing up the tarp I disagree. If you can figure out the wind direction it can be used as a sail to help catch a breeze. Closing up the bug nettling sure does add some warmth, but those bugs up that way will carry you off.

    ===> Hey Fred! I picked that thing up on eBay .... not sure what brand it was, just looked pretty useful at the time (I like multi-use stuff). Like an entrenching tool on steroids. I will look it over when I get home to see if I can find-out where to get another.

    Was fun at the hang - glad to have met ya! Gonna try to set-up a Fall Hang! Hope you can make it!
