[Paddlewise] Blew It: Stringing Yaks Up in the Garage

I admired Bob Hancock's pulley system for stringing up his yaks, so much, that
when we moved into a new house this last week, one of my first acts was to
similarly emplace my fleet.  Bob was cagier, though:  he put his over the spots
where his vehicles run.  Because he has short vehicles (Subaru SW's, I think),
he can lower the yaks onto roofracks, lash 'em on, and go.

I can't do that because my main yak-hauler is too tall for the yaks to squeeze
under a 7-foot garage door rim.  So, I figured I'd sling MY yaks up alongside
the walls of the garage, you know, to "... get 'em out of the way."  Well, I
just wandered out to the garage to admire Saturday's handiwork and had a
negapiphany (new word:  "negative epiphany" = negapiphany):  placing the yaks
alongside the garage walls means I have compromised our use of the walls for
shelf storage -- and boy! do we need shelf storage space!  

I'd have been better off to stick the yaks over the vehicles.

Bob, you're smarter than I am!
