Little monkey finished her sleepover at a buddy's. After I picked her up, she was ready to eat, so... And she was tired from too much playing and not enough sleeping, so I rigged a hammock and tarp on the clothesline poles for her. One end of the ridge line was a Sinerian hitch, the other was a figure 8 truckers hitch. The tarp was connect to the ridge through the loops and adjusted with Prussik knots. Today, guying was a combo. Bungees and string. The guy lines were attached to the tarp with Siberian hitches also. All quick release. And adjustable. Beautiful day. The USMC field tarp, while smaller, does a better job of providing shade. Before I could finish writing this up, monkey got her second wind and is waiting for me to play dodge ball.
Sat in my hammock with some hot chocolate and looked at the evening sky and listened to koke frogs in the yard. It started to rain so I took everything down for the night. But got the last bit of practice in. Took everything down and packed away in the dark. That's one of the advantages of knowing your knots and set up. Everything can be done by feel.
