Sunday Randomness: #241: Moving a plum tree

 Mego was kind enough to help me dig a new hole and dig up the plum tree in the backyard.  The plum tree was close to a down spout and the roots were getting washed out every spring.  The tree already had a 45 degree lean from the washout damage and was threatening to fall on the smaller apricot tree that was doing fine until the plum tree started leaning.  The tree is now transplanted and we'll wait out at least a year to see if it's successful.  We did get some root stimulator and good soil to give it a chance to start growing anew in the different spot.  It will also get more sun but also some reflected heat from bricks in the new location.

He's making it look like it's just a big stick but the tree is actually quite heavy!  

Sunday Randomness #270: Obstacle course and zip line in a pet store!

On a fairly recent trip there was a pet store with an obstacle course and small zip line at the end of the course.  The course went around the ceiling of the pet store and there was a brave kid who went on it several times.  The pictures and video are poor but hopefully you get the idea.  It's a novel concept and I'd never seen anything like it before!

The store also had a full size (small) pirate ship along with some amazing decor like a car packed for an adventure.

Sunday Randomness #238 : gas price photo January 24, 2024 $2.379

Took a photo on a whim January 24, 2024.  Gas was $2.379 for the cheapest unleaded in Draper, UT.  There's a fairly new Dutch Bros. Coffee immediately on the west side of the Holiday gas station which is on a corner with a Auto Zone auto parts store to the north of the gas station.
