Part 1 in the “Where I Do Stuff” series features my rack. This is where I go for shut-eye. As you can see, it’s more than 6 feet off the ground, with a narrow entrance and a low overhead. Getting in or out requires some serious acrobatics! Making the bed is even harder. It really took some thought to devise a system for getting that done. What I do is make it while I’m laying on it before I get up in the morning. As you can see from the picture on the bottom right, there are all sorts of treacherous sharp corners that have been covered with foam since I kept gashing the top of my bald head on them. If you click on the picture, it’ll bring up a larger-sized version so you can further gawk at the discomfort of sleeping where I sleep.
Comments?
Wow, this bunk would really curb the tossing and turning. There is just NO ROOM for that! Hope you sleep well tonight! I’m looking forward to this series. Love, MommyGirl
Guess you don’t just fall into bed at night. How do you even get there? What about night urges? I think I’d just wait!!!!!Guess thats why the CG hires younger bladders. Dad
Younger bladders nothing. I am testament to the fact that age has NOTHING to do with it.
I’d invest in a porta-urinal.
Is that a skylight, or a light panel?

Thanks for sharing! I look forward to you being in my bed. 😉 ~Lisa

It wasn’t Rach, it was me, Jon. As evidenced by a). My comments about having a small bladder and b.) the fact that I signed my comments JRS (that’s Jonathan Robert Shinn). Rachel has a bladder like an oil tanker.

Lisa,
I look forward to being in YOUR bed, too. For so many reasons.
Jon,
It’s definitely a light panel. Most of the inside of the boat feels like a submarine, with windows only in a few select places. I have to make regular efforts to get above deck and get sunshine.
Dad,
Believe it or now, I actually got up three times last night to visit Brighty. I’ve gotten so used to wiggling in and out of that thing that I can do it in my near-sleep.
Thanks for your thoughts,
Andrew
P.S. – Feel free to share more thoughts if you have them or send your sympathy for my miserable little rack.
Wait, now the way you changed the post makes my post make no sense.
Ah, who cares.
Geez, you’re making a fool of me. 🙂

The comments between the two of you is as interesting as the Blog itself. Speaking of small bladders, include very old bladders in that comment and I would never make it in that bed. Also, I would probably not fit – sideways or other wise. Love the picture – and all the comments both male and female.
Grandma. Jonathan, are you getting your paper done so you can come home?
Grandma:
I sure hope so!
Jonathan
Jon,
Not tryint to make a fool, only rectify the results of my confusion and avoid causing angst. 🙂 Like the angst I feel every night at having to sleep in such a place.

Andrew and Lisa,
Let’s keep this PG, okay? Children might be reading this.
And Andrew, what’s this talk about your “miserable little rack”? My, so graphic! We don’t need to know what size your “rack” is, nor hear you complaining about it. I have my own “miserable little rack” to complain about. 😉
RAS
p.s. I love this series.
Hi Andrew,
I just caught up on this latest “communicating”…I see I need to check EVERY day, in order to not miss out on all the fun…PG or not!! Being claustrophobic I can’t imagine sleeping in your little ‘rack’….guess I’d better not join the Coast Guard. I love your new series “Where I Do Stuff” and hope you send lots and lots of pictures of your every-day activities and places. Keep up the great work…..love it!!!!
Hugs …Gmanina
