    Another convert!

    As posted in the welcome thread;

    http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=36030

    I would like to thank Shug for the countless sleepless nights waiting for the opportunity to purchase a Blackbird hammock. Thanks! Yes, I am stalking you Shug! I'm kidding! No really, please don't call the FBI! : P

    Hi, my name is Charles, and I'm a hammock convert. This is the place to come for recovery right? All kidding aside, I'm looking forward to sleeping in my new hammock. Thanks guys for all the informative threads and youtube vids, put it all together and it makes a very convincing argument, if one were to have one with himself. "No it ain't! Shut up Charles!"

    Cheers!
    Charles

    Hi Charles,

    I know how you feel, after a month saving money, I ordered a Blackbird, Superfly and UQ from Warbonnet, two days ago, I can't wait for my first night sleeping in the hammock.

    Congrats guys, you will not be disappointed. And dang! A month of saving and you get all that! I'm in the wrong business, a month of savings gets me half a blackbird... If I don't pay the bills

    Thanks guys! I'll post pics when it comes in.

    Slightly off topic, but does let you get to know me a bit:

    I love to ride my recumbent trike, and the hammock will come in handy for some cross state touring this summer.

    It's a wonderful thing! Me and other HF forum member Raifnuke are camping in our Blackbirds as I'm typing this from mine! Nothing like being in the piney woods in your Blackbird!
