    Accidental nap :)

    I slept inside Sunday night --midnight till around 0730. Went outside to measure snow, it was 4.5 inches. Just to kill time I set up a Blackbird on the carport, look at the thermo and it read 19F. Threw a Winter Mamba in the Blackbird and a Te-wa Winter Coat underneath and then lied down.
    Next thing you know it was 1:30 in the afternoon.....so even after sleeping in a bed from midnight 'till morning the magic of the Blackbird gave me 5 more hours of sleep!
    When I woke I again measured the snow depth...up to 8.5 inches, then I packed up and got off the mountain before I became snowbound!

    Good stuff MM. The Mamba and Winter Coat together make a fabulous set of insulation indeed.

    I've been yelled at far too many times to lay down in a hammock unless I have ample naptime. Isn't fair! I have all these good books to read, but never get very far if I try reading from a hammock. Just not fair!
    Trust nobody!

    It got above kinda of warm here today (low 40's) and wife suggested I hang my hammock in the back yard for a nap.

    Gunner, I'd suggest you do what the general's general suggests and get that nap in.
    At home we haven't been above freezing for 5 days now and probably
    won't be for 3 more days. The snow falling now on Roan will be there until May.
