mixing major and minor pentatonics

so, I feel I have made a step forward in mixing major and minor pents. It occurred last night -- you how these things are, they just occur out of nowhere. I picked up the guitar, thought about it, and there it was. I was going between major and minor riffs much more smoothly than in the past. I am better at visualizing the overlapping patterns and making the shifts from one to the other. It just sounded better than in previous attempts. Now I've got something to work on this summer! It feels good -- mixing major and minor sounds better than doing sequential riffs in major and minor or vice versa. What I'm doing sounds more like The Blues. I'll have to do a video soon to provide an example.
