Friday's ramblings........

Just finished sticking more cuttings from one of our pothos mutants. It is really looking like a good plant. Certainly different to the eye and seems to grow with enough vigor to have commercial potential. Hope to get it to flower and seed next year - of course it may be sterile but only testing will tell.

At least these ornamental aroids like the heat and humidity. The rootng and growth rate accelerates to the point of being amazing. So the random trips to the greenhouse are rewarding if not frequent this time of year.

Going out the driveway this morning I had an idea. There is this 18" diameter pine stump staring at me from the east lawn. I thought about carving a recess in the center and filling it with charcoal. Light the charcoal, have a barbeque and burn out the stump all at once. Sounds cool to me. Of course once Mosaic Mom reads this the stump grinder man will be called. Oh well, just a thought.

The surf fishing conditions are lousy and have been for weeks. Water is too dirty, the waves are too small and now it is too hot due to the constant west wind that blows the 100+ degree air from mosaci mom's studio over to the beach. Must wait for a light easterly breeze off the water to cool things off and clear out the crud. Of course that brings in the sea weed. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.............

The greenbean is running beautifully. The new CD/stereo is really great. I can't even hear the fuel pump chirping away anymore. If it was not so hot I might consider finishing the front end suspension/bushings/shocks/springs overhaul on the Big O. Close but not quite finished. Need to get it done before the big blows come in August/September. Want to be able to move the car out of the Z shop before it falls in. I must rest now.............
