Following a successful field test with our old lounging hammock, I decided I could afford to buy a light-weight backpacking hammock, tarp, and under-quilt…

I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried.

In the UK chimneys are swept from the bottom up. I might have expected things to be different in the Ozarks…
(Today I swept Tom & Rebbie’s chimney. Tom had an operation on his back a short while ago and doesn’t need to be climbing on roofs.)
