Duh, duh, and DUH.

Screens, she wanted. DUH! The TRAVEL TOWEL-- 6 yards of plaid flannel, I've written about before. Up with duct tape, down in a flash. Pre-wet for better no-see-ums action. Soon to be replaced with a full set: 2 long ones for the front so they can slam tight into the door gasket top to bottom, with flannel for most of it and an inset of gauzier stuff for best airflow where the glass is rolled down. (The flannel I cut out for the inset will hang like a flap to roll up from inside as needed.) Sure, I have an old tent I could cut up, but this is better. And then 2 short ones for the back, made in similar fashion, cut a lot wider than long-- for the way the back windows open out at a slant.

Skeeters-- Off makes a little fan/repellent unit that WORKS and can be assembled in the dark. Two did the job even tho I opened the doors a lot in the first hour of total-dark setup.

Setup-- note to self. Set up FIRST, and THEN indulge both parties' need to gab-gab-gab.
