So, many of you know by now how AWFUL my luck is , and how I normally have some sort of crazy story about once a week. Well, here's my story this week, and yes, I really do have luck that's really that bad lol....
As I came out tonight to rig my tarp for my post on tarp origami, I looked down at the zipper on my XLC and to my horror, found it not zipped all the way closed! To most that's not a big deal, but if youve read ANY of my previous tales, you'd know that I have a serious spider, assassin bug, earwig, mosquito and possessed raccoon problem. At this point I quickly realized that I migh have to burn my whole rig to the ground, right there between the trees, since I had a code 4 security breach of my zipper and any number of evil, creepy, poisonous, rabid, flesh eating, blood sucking insects or small face eating animals could have set up a new home in the small inner folds of my hammocks whipping or nestled in the warm dark corners deep inside my CDT TQ.
I went into CM , or " crisis mode" as I call it, and began to frantically yet carefully, shake, smack, hit, dump, yell at and tear apart my hammock and TQ with the hope that anything inside would not wanna stay after all the violent shaking and loud girlish screams of a grown man completely grossed out and panic stricken. And after about 5 mins I felt it was safe to put my hands in to clean out any hidden webs or creatures that hung on for the ride. After checking every inch of every fold and corner inside and out, I started to feel a little better and made myself lay in it to check for any hold outs and bugs with a strong will to live. I then funded my TQ inside out and threw it in the dryer to cook any remaining creatures from hell.....
So, here I lay, telling myself that I got them all and I'm safe from any of the nasties that I know watch me sleep at night from their webs and perches high in the trees above me. Did I get them all out? I hope. Am I still freaked out? **** right I am. Will I ever rush to close my zipper again in the morning when I have to pee really bad and I over slept because my kindle died since I forgot to charge it all the way? HELL NO! I'll pee my pants before I don't take the time to zip up all the way again! Because next time, I just might have to bury the whole **** thing at sea or have a giant hammock fire...... And I would definetly cry like a girl then, lol.
