I wonder what they are costing in areas so far from where they grow as well. It's been years since I've heard prices around the country. My area is the hot and heavy cut your own tree farm area for folks in the city & suburbs to come. Most places do $25 any tree (and go frock yourself)

The last time I was out that way, I was impressed at how many Christmas tree farms there were.

Killer Bee · 12-07-2018, 02:51 PM

at $500+/sqft, storage for a fake Christmas tree doesn't always rate..

that and high percentage of apartment dwellers that just don't have storage space at all..

I've known folks that don't even keep all their decorations year to year..

plus, there's a little more vanity out here than most places

**hevy_chevy67** · 12-07-2018, 07:55 PM

My neighbours go all out so I thought I would try somehting different.

So last weekend we got a tree and set it up. Went with my little guy (grandson) and his mom to a tree farm in the area. It was once huge. I hear real trees are becoming more desirable, but they say this place does 1,000 trees and in the peak years, I think the '60s- '70s, they did 5,000. It's a 1700s farm, old stone house standing proud. The owner is getting older and the fields are pretty played out. But that's why he only charges $25 for any tree. Took a lot of looking, but we found one just right. I think we may be going to the old field. The place is huge with a few different fields

I figure the little fella will remember the trip long after he has forgotten the tree.

I finally found my Christmas spirit at the liquor store on the corner.

**davischevy** · 12-16-2018, 12:48 PM

Jack Daniels, but honestly, I found it on the shelf at home.

That gives a whole new meaning to Chevrolet/Olds.

I was going to clip some weeds this afternoon. I hooked the Bush Hog to the tractor, went a couple hundred yards and had a flat. I see that as an omen to stay in my recliner the rest of the day.

No sense getting all out of shape over a

flat tractor tire. They are easier to deal with once you let them marinade

kingsolver72 · 12-16-2018, 07:12 PM

Hey other Larry, bet that tire was flat on just one side.

**davischevy** · 12-16-2018, 07:24 PM

It's marinating in the back of the Longhorn now. The problem is, the flat side was on the bottom, and that's where I needed the round part most. I have a shop that specializes in fixing the flat side.

flashed · 12-16-2018, 08:39 PM

Why not just rotate it to the round side ?

**Boog** · 12-16-2018, 09:08 PM

After all, it's only flat on one side.

I hate changing tires. Thanks for the lead on the new shop in town.

If I had a tire changer like that I wouldn't have a tractor or a window to throw it out of, and I'd be living in dozerbill72's garage.

**davischevy** · 12-16-2018, 09:35 PM

Two good ol' boys were sitting around talking one afternoon over
a cold beer.

After a while the 1st guy says to the 2nd,
"If'n I was to sneak over to your trailer Saturday
& make love to your wife while you was off huntin'
and she got pregnant and had a baby, would that make us
kin?"

The 2nd guy, after thinking real hard about the question says, "Well, I don't know about kin, but it would make us even!"
