the Spring before last (April, 1908) I dragged you all through the adventures of Agaveman, as the giant plant in my front yard decided to perpetuate species:

and burst forth with blooms with the mission to spread little Agavites around the neighborhood:

Well, the Circle of Life continues...the plant did it's thing and has now passed on to make room for the next generation:

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

That a pretty surf board, but I think a surf rod would be more fitting.

I can't wait for this as long as I waited for that plant to "bloom" - get the sawdust flying, Elder!

Did you have to wait since "(April, 1908)"? They don't call them Century Plants for nothing.

The big question is whether you can make a rod out of it or not...

Will probably be awhile til I make another post...have to see how long it takes to dry the "wood" out, now that it's split:
