Hi broomstick, I like the look of them, I have a new diy snakeskin for a tarp/hammock if you want to trade.

Not in the market for a snakeskin but tell me how many you need and I'll rattle something together. I'm sure (if I ever get to a meet) that we can work out an appropriate guyline/beer ratio for trading. :)

Still not sure I'll be there this weekend (and you've no idea how much I need to get out of this godamn house for even a day). The painkillers pretty-much knock me out for several hours at a time.
Still, things change and there's still a few days between now and the weekend so I'll take it as it comes. If I feel above 50%, I'll go.
