Bev didn't see me turn a corner and got lost for a bit. She figured it out and got back home.
I did a few extra km looking for her.
Didn't you watch Top Gun? Never, ever, ever leave your wingman or in this case wing woman. Lol

Those power sun screens are a sweet addition to a deck.
Got a link buddy? Wife and I were talking about that yesterday trying to figure how to get some shade on our back deck we built last year. Its an open design and in direct sunlight most of the day. Wind is a concern down here as you know so need to take that into consideration.

Ken this is what we put up on our deck . We are on top of a hill with deck facing north so get hit by prevailing winds.
You can see 2 blinds are open and one is shut. Others weren't done yet. We put screen on the outside as well. Cuts wind down by about 90 percent inside

This is what came with our house. We like it. The installer told us not to operate it in wind over 65 km; do not put it up or down while the wind is blowing. If it is down it is okay. I don't know what he would say, if the winds were getting stronger and you thought you should put it up.
We can see through it from the deck and it is harder for people to see into the deck (if that makes sense). Remove control and various colours. People out here have them covering their west facing windows (some of them are on the outside and some are on the inside) to help with cooling throughout the sunny days of summer.
