    How do you spend a rainy day?

    So when it is raining and just not a good day for much outside, how do you spend the time?

    Here is what I did today. I got up early, set up my hammock stand, and proceeded to "test" out the Kelty Noah 12 x 12. Since it had never been in much rain I decided it was the prefect day to make sure there were no leaks so I spent the day under it, in the hammock, reading a book

    Reporting my test was highly successful with no leaks, lots of nice rain sounds, but there was this sort of "growling" sound the neighbors reported. I wonder what that could have been

    Pretty much anytime I know it's going to rain I set up the hammy and head out for a relaxing nap. My wife has started to let me know when it's supposed to rain now....I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not?
    If you ain't havin' fun, you're doin' it wrong

    Dunno, but I think you should spend some more time out there looking for the source...

    Ah yes. My hammock has been set up the last few days in my yard. I am waiting on a good rain to test it out. However it has only been raining while Ive been at work. The good news is that when I check the hammock it seems dry but I want to check it for leak spots.

    I like doing my testing from inside. I know pretty quick if drops start falling on me. I usually wear cotton just so I can see spots better.

    I plot and plan to overthrow the world! Oh! You mean hammocking stuff. I ....do lots of experimenting. Yes, yes, ......experimenting.
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

    You read a book? I would have made it about 3 minutes before I fell asleep.
