Joe,
We're originally from northern Wisconsin, but have been in SC on Lake  
Hartwell for the past nineteen years. The temps have been hovering around 100  
for the past week with popcorn storms all around us, but nothing directly on 
my  yard. We got last months water bill ($207.00 for two months) and the 
admiral has  forbidden me from watering the grass any more. I guess installing 
a pump on the  dock and watering the lawn with lake water will be the next 
project.

We will live in High Point, NC (about an hour north of  Charlotte)  but we 
will sail on John Kerr Lake out of Henderson, NC.  The lake is man made 
(heco de hombre, if you're Latino) and is is quite  large.  Most of it is in VA, 
but there is still a substantial portion in  northern NC.   I'm afraid 
there will be no floating from dock to dock for  me.  The marina is two hours 
from our home and the lake is state owned,  with very little development near 
the shore.
Here in PA, we have been dry,  too.  Big front came through yesterday and 
fed the grass, but streams and  lakes are all down. I suppose if you can't 
float, you can still imbibe.  Ah, the pleasures of measured intoxication.  Let 
me know where  you're from and what the conditions are for you.

Joe,
Where in NC are you moving to? I spent the day soaking in  the lake. One of 

my favorite things to do is put on a life jacket  and float from neighbors 
dock  to neighbors dock  getting fresh  drinks at each dock. The water 
temperature  is currently 90 degrees,  but it is still refreshing. 
Things have turned dry again in SC. Our lake  is still full, but we could  
use some good rains to keep the grass  growing and the lake full.

On this  hot hot July Saturday, I hope all of the  "listers" are on the 
water.  I,  on the other hand, am tyrapped  in the steamy Philadelphia 
suburbs, 
working. I  retire in fourteen  (count 'em) days. In sixteen days, I'll be 
hundreds of  miles away in  NC: new house, new career, new life (same 
wife).  
And in   eighteen days, I'll be hob-knobbing with Elton (& maybe Stan) on 
the  
deck  of my recycled '87, smoking a good cigar and trying to remember  
which 
line  moves which sail.  But, there are worse things in  life I suppose.   
Now 
to the point:

I recently  posted a request for information in  installing a solar vent 
and  
received loads of great information.   However, in a mad  rush to clear out 
my cluttered inobox (computer talk) I  deleted all  of those responses.  I 
know that I want to use the  forward vent  to install the solar fan, but I 
forget the size of that  hole,   Is it  3 1/4", 3 3/4"? what?   Somebody, 
please   
give me the size of the hole.  (A thing that is usually foremost in  my  
thoughts)  Thanks.

Joe (no poem this  time)
