Lucky you. I dont know how hot it is here but way to hot an sunny to enjoy anything outside!
I would be hanging, but Joker wanted to see the fireworks instead. So we went to a skatepark today...haven't been on a skateboard for ~12 years but I was still all over the ramps! So I might be laid up in my hammock tomorrow, whether I want to be or not...

IMPOSSIBLE JUST TAKES LONGER
I was hanging a bit this afternoon. We are RVing at a local lake and I put my Blackbird out for a while. It was 100 degrees, but there was a nice breeze and I was shaded by the two huge oak trees. I relaxed and played sudoku. When I wasn't in it the wind blew it around like a huge kite. I took it down because I didn't want it to get all beat up in the wind. (although it could probably take it, I didn't take a chance) Anyway hope everyone had a great day (hanging or not).
Was going to hang in the back yard and cook ribs, but ended up in bed with a kidney stone.

Got back last night in time for a minor league baseball game and fireworks. I was out hanging on the NPT, July 3rd we hiked in 10.5 miles through muck and wetness to a great spot and spent the night. Slept great in the Claytor. Out the next day.
?Where is Sector 7, and what sector am I in?
Okay so I am back at home to a real computer to type. As I said in the earler post that I love the superfly tarp. After writing that I would find out just how good I liked that tarp. after I shut my phone off there were a couple of ground dwellers down the bottom of the hill from me that got phone calls from wifes or someone saying that we would be right in the middle of a huge storm cell that was producing 80 mph winds so we all scrambled to ready our sites in the all ready pouring down rain. So I sat and watched the walls move in ever so slowly with each gust of small wind wondering when it was going to be the big wind.
I listening to my Ipod feeling like one of the three little pigs waiting for the wolf to huff and puff my doors down.
some of you know I like a Clark tarp and Hammock and have been forcing my self to use the BB and superfly more and more I use I love the tarp and am really beginning to feel good about the hammock as well.
The one thing I am having a problem with is getting my tarp to be more squared off look. more like a (barn) I see people's pictures with there that look like a barn but mine I can't i tried for two day's and could never really get that look. When using the pull out tabs on it when I do get them pulled out then the middle between them drapes in and at times touches the hammock.
Okay back to big STORM as I set there waiting out the storm I am soaked to the bone from trying to make sure my tarp and me don't fly away. So I cant lay down to enjoy this I didn't want every thing wet so I just sat in the hammock. as each minute passed by the wall's were getting closer to me because of the above mentioned and the gust of the winds see here I am with a face full of tarp rain coming down so hard I could not see 10 ft in front me and coming down sideways pretty nerving because in January of this year we had a bad bad bad ice storm and has left tree's lying for dead and with it allot of widow makers.
well my tarp held up the two tree's I was hanging from held up to I later found out 65 mph winds for 22 minutes and I only had small drips from where the pull out tabs were sewed in and even though it didn't look like a BARN like everyone who pictures I have viewed
it served me well when the storm was over everyone was walking around asking everyone if they were all right even those that were at the bottom of the hill was yelling up asking those of us up on top of the hill how we fared.
Then the folks from the cabin came out and started looking at my hammock setup and there were pleased to see everything was still there and I was alright and even a few people started asking me even more questions about my hammock setup.
all in all it was a good holiday weekend with music,food,and friends.
2 things I have to do is fix those leaks in the pull outs on my superfly tarp and
secondly I have to figure out how to get that tarp to look like a barn so it's not pushing in on the sides and touching the hammock.
later all
