Exciting: Apparently pomegranates can be grafted onto crepe myrtles. I have two crepe myrtles i have been planning on eradicating, as i think in ten years they'll be considered invasive. I ordered six Salavatski scion cuttings from someone in Virginia and will try a few grafting techniques.

I hope the weather change doesn't damage these while shipping.

Celebrate: i picked up a good looking Kanza pecan tree on Thursday, and i got it in the ground after work last night.

Learning about running AI on my laptop (queries stay local, eventually could apply to private documents). Rather excited about a private option.  Because it was local, i asked an instance of deep seek to help extract the email addresses people entered in the Zoom chat so we could all stay in touch with one another. Highly entertained that it refused to help me, and suggested we create a form to collect addresses. It slow running on my laptop and i was most of the way done doing it by hand when i got the final refusal.

Also spent a good chunk of the weekend and at work yesterday afternoon getting coding environments set up to use something other than conda, a python environment tool that is now verboten at work.
