    It didn't cross my mind until after the tarp had been built, but I wish I'd had the forsight to ask Scott to sew several short lengths of small stuff (mason twine?) to ridge of my Winter Dream to facilitate furling the tarp.

    Last night I was sitting in the hot tub with the cover resting on the deck. The wind actually blew the cover across the yard somewhat so I had to run barefoot (bare everything; I admit it) across the snow to retrieve it. Not fun.

    There are no trees for hanging there, but check out what wind can do in western China: http://www.breakingnews.ie/world/fou...in-300015.html

    .. truly to enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold, for there is no quality in this world that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself. If you flatter yourself that you are all over comfortable, and have been so a long time, then you cannot be said to be comfortable any more. - Herman Melville
