    Did it again!

    Well, after cooking some steaks on the grill last night, I decided to throw up the Blackbird in the backyard and do some reading. The weather was beautiful and the birds were singing as I read. Well, I fell asleep, AGAIN. I just can't seem to keep my eyes open when I'm laying in my Blackbird. Anyone else have this happen to them? I can't call it a problem because it is in fact designed to sleep in LOL, but I'd like to be able to get through a couple more chapters!!

    Yup. Guilty. A Clark does the same thing. Just wish it worked the same way in the backwoods as in the back yard.

    I read that as "after cooking some steaks on the grill last night, I decided to throw up in the Blackbird "

    I was thinking those steaks are probably bad

It was finally cool outside, so walked him out into the backyard to cool him off a bit... And that was when I spotted my diy gathered end strung out on a turtlelady bamboo stand. Long story short: 10 minutes later were both out cold. Did that three times out of necessity, and the last night just pretended he was warm and having trouble sleeping. I now secretly refer to my hammock as "The Pacifier."
    You're gonna need a bigger hammock

    Hahaha, nice. The steaks were excellent by the way. Got a new infrared grill and I can't use it enough!

    Sounds like a good "problem" to have.

    always happens in my ENO. My buddy and I were out at a park having a few beers, and hanging and as soon as I decided to read a bit in my ENO, BAM 5 hour nap.

    Happened to me today in my ENO. I strung up mine and my fiance's so my buddy could try it out since he knew nothing about our type of hammocking. We both knocked out and now he's in the market for a hammock! And I definitely referred him to hammock forums!

    I don't dare go near mine on a work night. I'd forget to get up and end up being really late.
