Stick to what you know

And what I know is that DEET works. That being the case, I've finally found a solution that worked! I grabbed a long sleeve shirt and a old baseball hat, sprayed them down with Off before our walk, put them on, then changed when we returned. It kept the mosquitoes off nicely and I wasn't covered in DEET for the ride to work.

Back to business now. We've been much too lazy lately.

The Mosquito Plague Continues


Our morning walks continue to be all business. I tried using these little plastic citronella discs yesterday. I pinned on ot the back of my hat. My neck had a dozen welts on it when we got home. Further proof of my theory that citronella does NOT work. Never has, never will. It's all a marketing ploy!


Anyway, I'm goin to have to just suck it up and dowse myself with DEET in the morning then shower at work. i'll wear a long sleeve shirt in the woods and chaneg when I get home and call it good. Otherwise it's going to be a long boring summer of morning walks.
