just heard from my father in law (an armchair weatherman) that we could get 8 to 18 inches of snow mid week. That would be great as we already have knee deep snow in the woods. Mother nature is being a real mother something!

I heard that too, sure hope not as it is a real struggle this year to get going.

Well I planned on tapping Wed as it is the first day of my vacation but I may have to play sick on tues and tap instead. Early predictions for snow in my area are 7 to 14 and we've been on the higher side all winter. I have snowshoes but have been suffeing sciatica all winter and don't think I could handle it. Imagine 42 years old and falling apart. Well the nice thing is I only have 200 taps to put in and its only a 3 acre bush. Good luck to you guys with amillion taps to put in. Maybe the storm will puke out and we won't get any snow.

Hope your sciatica gets better soon. I went through it for about a week in January. Couldn't have imagined tapping then.

Sapman. Its a real pain in the butt the back and my legs but actually woke up on Tues and felt a little better. I work 7pm to 7am so when I got home Wed I started tapping but it was going slow it the snow storm I was soaked by 50 taps. Finish 140 off today in snow from my knees to my no nos. I will hang my seasonal lines at the Fri. 190 taps and maybe 3 of them wet when drilling. Oh well nice clean holes anyway. Anyway the doctor told me not to put my wallet in my back pocket as it irritates sciatica.
