The union electrician is flabbergasted at this stuff and loves it.
I call couplings dont give a $%^# fittings and hardly ever use them.

The reason I am showing it is because I have always said you can make all kinds of cool stuff for the garden with a conduit bender and conduit.
Even a greenhouse.

This truck gets fuel every day at this store.
Just what is your fortune?
A DUI?
I find the whole advertising campaign a wee bit on the tasteless side.
Maybe it's just me.

Agave update.
The one down the street and one of another kind in my garden.
Doesn't look like the one down the street is going to get as tall as I have seen them.
We shall see.

I don't recall. Do the flowers have an odor? IIRC bees just love them.

This feller followed me around the vines literally.
I took his picture and moved over to a watermelon bloom.
I heard a scurrying noise and looked up and saw him looking at me again.
Yes same lizard.
He may have been trying to sell me insurance.

Maybe like a bird he's looking for insects you might stir up.

Some of you know I have a good friend that lives in Colorado in Longmont.
When I met him he wanted to live in the middle of a big city he was around 29.
I told him priorities change as you get older.
Here are his priorities now.
I am so proud of him he is like a son I never had.
he is now 40.
He is one of only two people I have anything to do with when I worked in Alaska.

I can also promise you this guy wont be killing any chickens they will all be pets.
We spent hours getting a snow bunting out of a process skid in Alaska one day so it would live.
As soon as it got out it started eating snow for water.
