[Rhodes22-list] Mosquito Netting

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Mary Lou,
I was referring to mosquito netting also.  A burst of rain or wind does a real job on netting.  A PTE is effective in shielding the rain, but we have found a bit confining for any extended time.  I hope you and Fred have had some good outings so far this year.  Today 94 degrees in Georgia, Hartwell has lost 6" of water in the last few weeks.  Love that Chesapeake Bay!
