    What problem...I just you know...bought the other hammock...for a friend..that's it! Oh, and the digging the vertically oriented gear driven thread injector out of storage before there was room for the car....that's only because you wouldn't want the money I spent on the netless HH safari to be wasted,would you?

    I kinda sorta knew that writing it out. Didn't know they've fixed the glue though. But it still stinks. I suspect I can't spell the stuff the flying high set uses in their quest to provide medical science in 20 years self-selecting case studies for investigations on the long-term health hazards of <insert something I can't spell>.

    But I have a refillable butane lighter! For camping.

    Make sure to tell yourself that this is cool.
    And make sure to tell yourself that you have no choice.
    And make sure to tell your friends that they drive you to it.
    And that you can quit anytime that you want.
    Anytime.
    You can quit anytime that you want.
    You can quit anytime that you want.

    But really the sewing machine is permanently set up on our kitchen table next to the santa calling your name all day and night. You can't stop. Don't fight it. Now hurry and make that underquilt so I can learn from your mistakes.

    Or your girlfriend starts to think maybe shes dating a gay man because he knows more about sewing, gets excited about joann fabric sales, and complains that the super walmarts just don't do the crafts/sewing/fabric section any justice anymore!

    haha

    One of my wife's friends, who has not yet met me, saw me riding my bike and towing my daughter in her trailer. The woman recognized my daughter. She then told my wife that she'd seen us and commented that I wasn't what she'd pictured in her mind. I'm 6'0" and 225. Since I sew (OK, I'm learning,) she expected skinny and, well, effeminite. I found that quite ammusing.

    Does this hammock make me look fat?

    I was paddling with some friends on memorial day and we were talking about the canoe/camping bug and buying/making gear. We decided we would all enter a "redebilitation program". Course we came to that wonderful conclusion after some good Irish Whiskey. (smile)
