Tree remains up through 1/6 little Christmas.

Is the ‘engine turns off in 5 seconds if no movement’ feature becoming mainstream in new cars? Must be a lot of wear on the starter or not. About 5 years ago I baby sat a Prius for a month it had that feature, thought it was just on the Hybrids.

My F150 has that future. You can turn it off with a click of a button.

Terrible feature.

Great thought, but if it was left there, the tree would grow around it.

I guess living in a city means you've never seen a tree that grew up near a wire fence and years later you'd see pieces of that wire sticking out of the tree.

I'll have to take a look later at a tree on my property that had a blue piece of plastic tape around it to mark that a soil test was done there for a leach field. There's nothing but a piece of blue tape sticking out from the tree now...

It can and usually does kill the tree.

The reason I'm buying my 2019 Subaru and not leasing a new one.

I stand corrected, but I’ve seen trees circled in wire and plastic tape make it.

Took out a chainsaw blade one year when I hit a buried wire that was a good inch inside the wood in a circle. That was fun…

taking the ornaments and lights off the Christmas tree. Earliest I have ever done it. But the tree is so dry it’s a fire hazard now ?

Interesting, all a matter of when it was cut. In IL & on LI, when I first put the tree up after Thanksgiving with a fresh trunk cut, I'd be filling water in the base 2 times a day for a few days, then it would be daily until I took it down. Those trees are cut down in October

Since moving up here, I NEVER have to fill up the tank. The first day trees suck up 1/4 of the water and then after that I just ending topping things off every couple of days. The trees that stay in Maine are cut 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. I won't tell how little we pay for them, that would be too cruel...

Had a 5:00 pm appointment with an ENT Dr, got there a 4:30 and didn’t get in until 7:00. Same old story; it never changes.

I have to get wire, so I cleaned the kitchen top to bottom instead. Maybe tomorrow I will get the wire and see if I can find a new seat for the bike
