Yeah Newf, the DEET works, trouble is it desolves anything it comes in contact with, sunglasses, watches etc. I have a small bottle left from an old army buddy, use it if I have to go deep in the swamp on fence repair detail. Two years ago my wife went to the fair and came back with a complete bugg suit (now sold by Cabellas) hooded, full face jacket, pants and gloves. The stuff is made from industrial strength bugg netting, I call it Northern Michigan sexy lingerie.

Isn't the repellant Muskol very high in DEET? That's the one I've always considered "the best".
I hate mosquitos.
I saw one of those bug shirts at a kayak show. Looks kinda goofy for mowing the lawn or some such activity, but I may break down and get one this year.

Jim, I suppose the bug suit looks kind of dorky but then I never considered myself much of a fashion icon. I don't like wearing one simply because looking through the netting makes everything look fuzzy. Blacking out the eye area with a felt marker helps cut the distraction but it's still a royal pain to wear one. My wife wears one all the time, for me it's the method of last resort.
The mosquitos are bad enough but we have two other flies that are unique to this area, for starters there is what the locals call the fish fly, I don't know the official name, but they are the size of a large house fly and hatch out in deep clear water. For some reason they are sensitive to heat and humidity and go totally beserk when conditions are right. They like dark clothes and it's not uncommon to be covered by hundreds at a time. They don't just sting like a normal fly but will take a hunk of flesh right out of you. No known repellent seems to work against them. Fortunately they don't come inland very far and are only a problem on those super hot humid days. The other mega pest is the no-see-um, tiny little piece of crap that is small enough to go through window screens, enough to drive anyone nuts. This is the big reason summer is my least favorite time of year. Standing joke around here is when you quote a job during bugg season you add another 5% for repellent.

Deet does not go good with a bagel, suggestion lets have coffee in the screen gazebo. Jeez, there must be something better to talk about first thing in the morning.

I don't know if it qualifies as a vacation but sometime in July I'm going out to Delaware to put in a new kitchen for my son. On the way back I'll take some time to scope out a few of the sights, always wanted to see Steam Town in Pennsylvania. Also on the list, if I can talk a buddy into going is an early October trip to the Grand Canyon, tourist are gone and some of the heat. Been planning this for ten years now always got sidetracked by something less enjoyable.

Carole, good nite and a good game. Thanks for arranging the weather. The young man I took with me had never been to nor seen a ballgame. He tells me he owes me a trip to a cricket game. Some day.

no ma'am. certainly did surprise us. we were sitting at the wall in r-center, the vp of the Tribe was visiting when it went off. he calmed any fears we might have had almost immediately as he was in touch with security. the goofball set it off in the smoking area behind us. I can just imagine what that nimrod is gonna be charged with......

Not sure, but they make some racket doing it. And I would wonder the origin of "that's not cricket"................
Maybe that texas british furniture guy would be the one to ask.

I don't know Calvin, British humor is pretty dry in itself, now Texas British humor, that must be down right arid.

Bone dry. Parched.
"Not cricket?" A game traditionally imbued with archaic British reverence for honest amateurish endeavour. If you're caught behind cleanly by the wicket keeper after the ball just barely snicks your bat, such a quiet snick in fact that it's perhaps too quiet for either umpire to hear, you tuck your bat under your arm and walk back to the pavilion-- you don't hope that the umpires didn't hear it and turn down the fielding team's claims of 'Owzat!' British stiff upper lip and all that, old chep, what ho, integrity, honour, sense of fair play, and other antediluvian hypocritical attitudes from a different age. Slainte, RJ.
