    Wife is a little miffed at me. "YOU DID WHAT?"



    I just drilled some holes, then screwed in some lag bolts with eyelets at the end and hung my hammock up in the family room. Me "Really baby it's no big deal."

    Can anybody guess where I slept that night?

    Seems like the real punishment would have been to make you sleep in the bed.

    If she really wanted to make you pay, she'd make you take the bed and go sleep in the hammock herself! That'll make you think twice about not checking with her first!

    Indeed, I almost posted a followup suggesting that it would be worse if she slept in the hammock. I guess that's why we are here

    A man's got to do what a man's got to do. You'll be putting 2 sets in the bedroom before long.

    Yeah, she actually camped out with me in a hammock I bought her a couple weeks ago in N. Idaho. She thought it was ok. Pretty sure she ain't gonna give up her tempurpedic at home though.

    "Pips"
    Mountains have a dreamy way
    Of folding up a noisy day
    In quiet covers, cool and gray.

    ---Leigh Buckner Hanes

    Surely, God could have made a better way to sleep.

    Surely, God never did.

    Yes, pics! Was it the eno hangers or just lag bolts with eyes?
    I may be dumb, but at least I'm ugly!

    I've done so much, with so little, for so long, now I can do anything with nothing.

    It's not peer pressure, it's just your turn.
