Mark,

CdC shows solar transit in its calendar. For you, Ken and me, on the next few days (11/12/13th) it is at 13:06, at 13:05 for the 14/15/16th and at 13:04 for the 17/18/19th.

If you miss that time, you can draw the line and then use a protractor to adjust it by 15deg/hour to give you North/South.

Here a line drawn from where I put the mount to the corner of the garage is within a degree or 2 of South. If SHMBO can be talked into it, and the landscapers are happy to excavate a hole for me (sure beats digging), I might put a pier on that spot.
