Visqueen

We had a go, for those that don't know, at making like basically a bit of a pool gap with a winch.

So yeah, we decided to just stick a handrail-ish size bit of wood down a bank, and we just got some hay bales and a bit of Visqueen and like filled that up with water.

I think the takeoff was probably not much bigger than [laughs] this room, was it? It was absolutely tiny.

And we were like, "Yeah, yeah, that'll be enough to get on it." But yeah, it was interesting.

So c- let me ask you this from a, from a standpoint of, you know, an exhibitor or an exhibit company, like ourselves.

Sometimes I think the small effort isn't worth it, because in the big picture, we're covering, you know, 2,000 square feet of booth space with, with Visqueen plastic, and then chucking it away, and that's seems horrible.

So me s- me recycling a plastic bottle seems just like a piss all in the snow, right? But that's the wrong way to think about it, is what you're saying is, like, it's okay to start small and then build up towards fixing the big problems.

We can't fix the big problems right away if we don't first fix the small problems.

Yeah.

Okay, what about the graphic? We use them twice? Do we use them once? Do we use them for the year of 2026 and then recycle? You know, like, we've started to collect back, uh, SEGs, and to...

It's funny, Chris, we had that conversation about Visqueen, and, and I continue to sort of mull over what other commodities that we as a company sell to, you know, exhibit houses, and what we can recycle back.

Um, we've started recycling back in bulk bags, uh, SEG graphics.

If it went south, that's towards us.

So we have still four or five hours." We already had had them prep and go to Home Depot and buy Visqueen plastic wrap, and they had already had time to go get extra labor to come in-

Mm

...

Comfortable? Oh, nice.

And there's a, and there's a Visqueen on the floor, and some tape.

[laughs]

So I'm not really sure if, if-

'Cause it doesn't get any better than when it comes fresh out of the...

When it is truly vine-ripened, you know, not, not put under a vis- piece of Visqueen last night and gassed.

You know, you see those pretty red tomatoes and, yeah, vine-ripened.

Yeah, you could...

They're green as a gourd the day they were.

They would've qualified for green, fried green tomatoes, I'll tell you that.

Last night, somebody put them under a piece of Visqueen and gassed them, and now they're pretty and red, but they taste like mush.

And so the farmer's looking for the day that he can sit down and enjoy the fruit of his labor.

I shouldn't, I'm, I, I was trying to-

You were gonna say Visqueen, but [laughs]

I was trying not to, uh, lead you, but obviously as a lead, uh, Judge, that's a leading question.

I, uh-

I'm gonna...

Dennis Eccles was a foreman that I worked under when I was at Conco Construction in, in California when I was a young man, and he would be like, "We're not leaving today until everything's ready." If we had Visqueen, that's what they called the plastic, I don't know if that's the official name, but the Visqueen that goes on the walls that gets taped up, it would be all up.

He was like, "I want everything ready to go.

I wanna inventory the truck.
