LAKE LEVEL –The resulting rains this week bumped the lake level up a couple of inches but we are currently at 408.9’ so down about 19”. This is 2” lower than last Friday. You can always get real-time data on the www.hycolake.com web site from USGS or click here. 

 

LOCAL BUSINESSES – The most important business related item is that today thru Sunday there is a sales tax holiday on school related items including computers and accessories.  This is an automatic savings of 6.75% so if you need a computer anytime soon, now is the time to buy it.  For that college bound student or even that grade or high school student now is time to buy.  Call Electronic Solutions (336) 597-2433 today to reserve your computer.

SECURITY INFO – There was a rash of incidents over the last several weeks where items were stolen from boat houses and even some homes broken into.  I have found a small camera and DVR available that you can install most anywhere or even just sit on a shelf.  It is a little larger than a pack of cigarettes and is battery and AC operated.  It can record on motion detection.  I have one in stock so if you would like it, contact me.

Hope you have a great weekend
