Yucca SPOTH

We have a Yucca plant, and that is our Strange Plant Of The Hour (SPOTH)

The thing with yuccas is that they live in hot, dry places.

We live in New England, which is sometimes hot and at other times is cold, but rarely all that dry.

So ever since our yucca was just a wee baby we have brought it indoors for the winter so that it will not freeze to death.

However, yuccas can grow to be rather tall, and that presents a problem.

Years later, this is the plant that we have.

Yucca taller than the garage. This has to go in there.

That is not trick photography. The plant really is that tall.

Oh, what to do?

Here is the solution we came up with.

Yes, the plant spans most of the length of the garage.

Yes, we tied it to the lally column to keep it from falling over.

Yes, we live with that all winter long.

I don’t know what we will do when the plant grows longer than the garage as well as taller than the garage.

Sigh.

DG: What, No more spinning?

Oh, sure. We can do that.

DG: Uncle

DG Files a Formal Complaint

DG was so upset about being spun around and made dizzy, that he filed an official BM (Being Mean) complaint form.

Well, two can play that game.

So I gave him another ride with some wobble in it.

DG was not impressed.

At least he’s getting accustomed to his 3D persona.

DG in 3D

While DG was off trying to remember the grand idea that he came up with, I came up with one of my own.

I wondered what DG would look like in 3 dimensions. So I created a 3D model of him.

Here’s what he looks like in 3D. Check it out.

Pretty cool.

DG: That's not even a good likeness.

Well, maybe so, but it is actually three dimensional. Watch the video below where I spin you around to show how 3D you are.

DG: Urp. Fellin a bit dizzy after all that spinning.

You think that’s bad? Check out this ride.

DG running away screaming.

Hrmph. I guess DG is just a 2D kind of guy.

DG’s Grand Idea

Last time I saw DG he had just come up with a grand idea of what to post on this blog next.

Hey, DG, what was your idea?

DG: I forgot it

What? How could you just forget your idea?

DG: After it popped into my head all that noise made it pop right out again.

Well, I guess you better put on your thinking cap and come up with another one.

DG in dunce cap: not funny

DG has been thinking long and hard, and he finally came up with an idea.

DG: I noticed that you have repurposed your sump alarm noise.

Ya, I did. Pretty clever, hunh?

Pretty cheap.

Future Direction of the Blog

DG was complaining about the boring content of this blog. So I got together with him to toss around some ideas about what we can post next.

“How about I post my recipe for blueberry bagels?”, I asked.

DG: Boring

OK. How about my latest woodworking project?

DG: Been there done that.

I could post about my new power washer.

DG: Well, that's a get a life moment.

OK, Mister Smartypants… what would you suggest?

Oops! Sorry. Outa time.

DG: Waddaya mean, outa time?

Sorry. It’s the Fifteen Second Rule.

DG: What's a 15 second rule?

It is clearly stated in the rules, “If it takes longer than 15 seconds to read a blog entry, it is too long.

Silly Blog Rules Link

Hey, that's not fair.

Rules are rules. See ya.
