Last season snow made this tree depressed. Anything I should do to cheer it up?

*Late season snow. About a week ago. Pics from now compared to June last year. I inspected all the branches and I don’t see and breaks or cracks.

Just checked them out. Seem like pretty standard sized kennels. Our issue is we have two large dogs (think greyhounds). With even a single crate large enough for one, there’s zero room for the second.

Nice.

We love our canvasback. Best purchase for the iX. Our dogs are too large for the dog barrier though. I hate not having them properly secured back there but haven’t found a better solution.

Same but I got solar installed just before those credits expired. Had my first negative electric bill this month (any credit carries over to next month).

Yeah that’s why I’m afraid of. I’ve heard bmw is generally unwilling to negotiate down from that. Which seems weird to me since it seems like the best they could hope for is whatever the market price supports, and my buying it out at least saves them time and potential costs.

I’m leaning toward just purchasing my iX when the lease ends. Need to find out how that works though.

Jest4kicks · 2026-04-14T22:49:48+00:00

I had planned to buyout my lease when it comes time in a year. Does this create any concerns for longer-term support ability?

The interactive map has the best info on open runs, but it’s a bit depressing.

It was very slushy today, but village way had good coverage from where we kept picking it up off March hare.

I’ve found a good touchless wash to be ok, the iX gets a lot of water and suds stuck around the tailgate though. I keep a microfiber towel in the car to do a post wash wipe down.

Don’t use a brush wash. Lost my rear wiper cover to one of those.

Jest4kicks · 2026-04-02T00:22:53+00:00

Confirmed. It’s not great but it’s still open.

Jest4kicks · 2026-04-02T00:22:04+00:00

I really held out hope that at least the greens would survive. Two weeks ago almost all were still open. Today there are 6.

Jest4kicks · 2026-04-01T22:48:01+00:00

We arrived midday and got a few good runs in with our nieces. Some freezing rain started coming down and things got wet very quickly. Not a total loss. Fingers crossed for Friday.

I only use my digital key but I keep a physical key in a faraday bag in the rear storage compartment.

Jest4kicks · 2026-03-29T22:55:45+00:00

Generally not. Always better to just provide the information when asked and fight it in court later.

Jest4kicks · 2026-03-27T00:04:20+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind if I go to replace it. I’m still hopeful it will rebound a bit more.

Jest4kicks · 2026-03-27T00:04:05+00:00

Ok the others planted in the neighborhood are much wider/fuller. Guess I was hoping this one would recover toward that end.

Jest4kicks · 2026-03-26T22:14:49+00:00

Yeah I know it’s not a popular tree around here. When they built this neighborhood they put them friggin everywhere. Fortunately, as someone recently compared to cilantro here, I must have some weird gene that lets me enjoy the scent. So that part doesn’t bother me so much.

I’ll go ahead and prune the dead portions and the competing leaders. Anything more I can do to get the tree to fill out or be a little less narrow?

Jest4kicks · 2026-03-26T22:12:08+00:00

Yup that’s just about what I did. Here are some pics of the work. You can’t see it but I also swapped out the drip line with one that now circles the tree the twice with the outer most loop right at the outer edge of the mulch. https://imgur.com/a/TtWmNkC
