“Maple - You are going in circles....”

“You keep posting links to this thread...”

“LOL”

“There goes that potty mouth again...”

“so instead of you all helping me with the link, you laugh at me. gee thanks alot!”

“How does one do that by accident?

Just use words and tell us what tent you are buying? I know it is a little old fashioned ....”

“How are WE going to know the link?”

“LOL!

Oh, not at you, with you maple!”

“I think this is what she was going for.”

“Maple...your last two links point back to THIS THREAD. Not to a web page about any tent. You are pasting the wrong URL.”

“LMAO Violin!”

“wow, i gotta get me one of those tents... ?”

“Well now Violin is right, that probably is the tent that Mapleleaf is getting. But how did you find the right url?”

“LOL at Viloin, I love Esther (i think thats how its spelled)

ok here is the ^&* *(&% tent!

Sierra Designs Light Year CD Tent -”

“I'm laughing at Maple. ;)
She needs a new name. Maybe Mrs Circle Link?”

“CircleGurl! Where's Lizs?”

“Sierra Designs Light Year CD Tent
Good choice, Campmor has them on Sale. Are you geting the 2003 or 2001 version?”

“NO THANK YOU I have enogh Cycles!!”

“2001”

“Good choice, Maple! I'm getting the same tent as soon as REI tells me what my member's dividend is going to be.

I hope you got the 2002 or the 2003...the 2001 has a problem with the fly...”

“Here's a link to the Campmor page for this tent.”

“now you tell me!!”

“It was posted on one of the discussions about this tent. I can't remember which thread though. When you get it, send it back and get the 2002.”

“~snif~ but I wanted to use it this weekend?”

“that's the tent i picked up at the used gear sale this weekene! $56, minus the poles, its never seen the outdoors. i'm shopping around for the poles. Sierra Designs wants $44 for them!”

“Sorry Mapleleaf, I don't remember anything about a problem with the fly. You could search on the past threads.”

“Ha!”

“Whoever posted about this problem said he took it back after using it. The problem has something to do with the fly letting water get in the foot of the tent. An alternative solution might be to write Sierra Designs and ask for the 2002 fly. It can't hurt to ask.”

“but I did get the sealer, You think this might help?”

“A good seam sealing might solve the problem.
This tent is a classic lightweight tent. If something is wrong, after you use it, send it to SD for them to fix.”

“thats right darn it!! Ill stand my ground. Or at least hold my breath!”

“From what I read, the problem was with the design of the fly. Now, that design flaw might have been too many seams or something like that. You should always definitely seal the seams on your fly anyway, inside and out. And although they are factory-taped, you might want to consider sealing the floor seam as well. Don't bother with the other seams in the body of the tent, that fabric is not waterproof.”

“But I will keep Snponge Bob around just to bother Gear Slut!!!”

“Lots of applause. Good choice.”

“I can now Die happy, thank you thank you!”

“Maple congrats on the new tent! I guess Treebeard is going to have to sleep alone now.”

“well first I have to tell him I bought this one!”

“Yes, it's real freakin' nice that I am the last one to even know about it.”

“BTW, I asked her last night what she bought. She gave me this 'What? Moi?' type expression when I saw her credit card out by the computer. She said 'Nothing.' What can I say. I believed her.”

“Ut .. oh”

“Good thing you bought a tent, Maple!”

“Oh, Maple Sweetie. Don't seal yourself in to the point where the local police have to get you out. It could be really embarassing. Almost as embarassing as the thread I will post the next day.”

“Wow, this is great, guys! I'm almost getting my money's worth out of this tent already...”

“And I thought Maple was so much wiser than that...doesn't every married woman know that the proper answer to the question "What did you just buy?" is "I am so hot for you right now..."?”

“Treebeard to keep things fair now you get to buy something! It is only fair.”
