It's a bit too heavy for the plastic trellis I had at the top of the fence though, and I will need to replace it with wood next year.

The out of control creeping vine - that we have allowed to grow on our fence to provide privacy to our hot tub - has bloomed. It turns out to be a Trumpet Vine, which has lots of beautiful large flowers, and is native to the area!

Mr President Ike Eisenhowler's new favorite toy. He wants to know why I stopped playing to take a picture.

This week I'm trying my hand at pickling. I'm using some 1 gallon jars, originally from jumbo dill pickles. On the left I am making lacto fermented traditional sauerkraut. On the right, I made quick vinegar pickled broccoli, with Rosemary, peppercorn, and dill. Delicious!

More copper, and about 100lb of aluminum.

Around 5000lb of copper on the other pallets.

The density of copper is 0.323 lb per cubic inch. I took the measurements, and did the math, and this palette weighs approximately 2,550 lb. This is the heaviest pallet, but there are eight and a half more out of frame. This palette alone would bring in $7, 000 - $8,000 at the scrap yard.

This spicy boy was sitting up in the ceiling without any wire nuts on it, and 277 volts connected to it, with a faulty circuit breaker. I make about double minimum wage, and that is nowhere near enough to justify the danger I'm in on a daily basis

I finally figured out what this bugger is. It started growing months ago, but I couldn't remember what I had planted. It's a date palm!

Even Ike thinks getting up at 4:00 a.m. on a Monday is too early. He wants more snuggles.
