Those trees NEVER go back in the box without you sitting on it, taping it, using bungee cords, twine and even kids if it comes to that. Rolling my eyes. Hilarious!

That's an amazingly long life for an artificial tree, Rj! Blinking (and maybe even more so for the box...)

More so on the box, thought I was finally going to be able to get rid of the box, found a bag for the tree, not big enough!

We have bagged one half of the trees; seems like a good idea but in reality sucks even worse too often.

It is a nippy -7 right now, and it is supposed to get to -10.
Tomorrow has a high of 1 and -8 at night.
I had to run outside as I left some thing in the car, to lazy to put a jacket on, but you know winter weather has arrived. Shrug!

We need snow. 30 degrees below normal and only an inch of snow. Plants need insulation.

Well this Christmas season is like they have been often the past decade.

I was going home early last week to put up the Christmas Tree; got a phone call from my cousin, the heater was not working.
Went home earlier to deal with that, so I did not go out to get a tree. (The toilet bowl upstairs had frozen but oddly the tank did not.)
As it could not be worked on till this Monday, I turned on the heater upstairs and turned on the little kitchen heater, that may or may not stay on.
It was sleeting/snowing the next day, half-way home road was nasty, so I drove back up North in case Sharon needed help.
Brake light came on, on the way home-- Still had soft brakes.

Rear wheel cylinder went out, and I had no intention of doing that my self with the bad weather coming but I should have.
Wheel cylinders-2, and fixing the line without totaly replacing the brake line, (IF I did it myself and the line broke, new line near 200 bucks) cost me 840 dollars; new fan motor in furnace cost me over 400 dollars.

It is snowing right now, approx Two and One-half inches so far, so, tonight I blow snow up here and tomorrow go home to put up a Christmas tree. Sighing!
