PERSONAL
FAVORITE I've got a suggestion for an enjoyable
evening on Hyco. Call Hyco Marina and order a hot Hunt
Brothers Pizza and Wings. Ride the boat up to the
marina and get your pizza, wings and favorite beverage.
Take it down to the boat and listen to your favorite
music while enjoying a great meal. Then go back to the
marina and get your favorite hand dipped ice cream or
shake. Then stroll slowly back down the lake. It
doesn't get any better than this and you haven't spent
but a few dollars. Also they are very well stocked and
have fresh meats and vegetables so stop in for a real
treat. Need a boat for a day or weekend? Ask about
their two rental pontoons. (336)599-2211 http://www.hycolake.com/HycoMarina/index.htm
AT&T has upgraded their lake service to 4G so you zoom
on the phone while on the boat!
I've noticed
a lot of May flies on some of the boat docks in spider
webs. Try spraying with Suspend SC to
control the spiders and bugs. http://www.amazon.com/Suspend-Insecticide-Roaches-Professional-Control/dp/B002Y57MGE
Also stopped
by the Roxboro Farmers Market on Depot Street in
Uptown Roxboro Friday. They are really getting in a
lot of vegetables now and corn maybe this week. Also
fresh pies by the Horner's! Stop by six days
a week just down from the Christian Help Center.

ADVISORY
Question
for Lake Dwellers - Anyone interested in
participating in a boat parade around Christmas? The
Chamber of Commerce would like to know if there is
interest. Prizes awarded for best decorated boat.
Probably some other fun activities involved all centered
around the season. Inbox or reply to me if any
interest.

LAKE
LEVEL You can always get real-time data on the www.hycolake.com web
site. The USGS webpage now shows you the elevation
above sea level. 410.5 is normal level. You can now
get a text message or email if the lake level is at a
parameter you set. Ive set my notice to occur at 411.5
feet which is 1 foot above normal. This would be the
time I need to remove stuff on the dock and make sure
the boats are raised high enough to keep them on the
lifts! See the link on the USGS site or click here.
