Saturday, July 1, 2023 at 9:30AM Before you run out and purchase the suggested Thermocell to repel mosquitoes, it uses the chemical allethrin. Please read this from Wikipedia and/or do your own safety research.
"Chronic exposure to allethrins alters the plasma biochemical profile of humans and may have adverse health effects. Bioallethrin has been shown to cause oxidative damage, cellular toxicity and necrosis of human lymphocytes studied in vitro. It is highly toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. At normal application rates, allethrin is slightly toxic to bees. Insects subject to exposure become paralyzed (nervous system effect) before dying. Allethrins are toxic to cats. because they either do not produce, or produce less of certain isoforms of glucoronosyltransferase, which serve in hepatic detoxifying metabolism pathways."
And from Science Direct: "[Allethrins] may be hazardous to the environment; special attention should be given to fish and honey bees."
Lots more info online and safe alternatives.

Friday, June 30, 2023 at 7:31AM Athenia and I are interested in joining the sail past around Thetis on Saturday. Does anyone have a bit of extra room for two friendly companions... We have done a fair amount of boating and are very comfortable on the water. Sparkles will be staying home...
Friday, June 30, 2023 at 7:30AM Free queen size EQ3 bed frame. 10 years old in used-good condition, sturdy and well built. We don’t have a picture of it assembled (they no longer make this model) but if you google “EQ3 Boom bed” it’s similar to that with solid front and back.
Colour is dark brown/black, material is wood laminate. There is no headboard or under storage on our model.
Currently disassembled with all the necessary parts ready to put back together. Can deliver on Thetis.
Please email aimee.vand@gmail.com if you are interested.
