Welcome to the addiction Shmoe84.
Do not worry much you wont think too much about maple once the season is over.

You will now find yourself going oh wow look at all those maple trees.
Hmm I wonder if I should go with more taps next year?
Wow I could really use (insert all kinds of things) I don't think it will cost much.
Glad your here. By the way your right over there near my brother. :)

Hey that's a nice run. I'm processing about the same amount tonight just on the other side of the river. Nice weather for it.
