Oops! :lol:

[wnybassman]

That's how you put them in windy areas so the bucket doesn't blow off. Wait a minute, where's the bucket?

[maple flats]

Those are for the buckets with a special hook added.

That's funny. Put that picture on jeopardy and no one could tell you what's wrong. Only a sugarer could.

[eustis22]

That spile was obviously for the tree across from that one

Several different game shows (Jeopardy, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader) have called here (UVM PMRC) over the years to verify answers to questions they were researching for their shows. I wish now that I'd kept a diary of all the unusual questions and circumstances we've run into over the years.

Oops! Done that too --lol! (That's when it is usually time for a 5 minute break to slow down a bit!)

I tapped some telephone poles a few years ago...got 3-1/2 gallon of creosote per tap.

Things like this make me love this forum more and more everyday. Some days I think I am the world worst "tapper". Then I see this stuff happens to others and I can laugh.

[Jolly Acres Farm]

I've never put a plug on the end of a cord and forgotten the other part first. . .

I tapped some telephone poles a few years ago...got 3-1/2 gallon of creosote per tap.I drove a nail in a telephone pole one year and hung a bucket. Nymo had to work on the line for some reason and saw me in the yard and gave me hell for it. Jeez no sense of humor. Jeff

Lol..in respect to my grandfather in his little sugarhouse in the 70's I tap every telephone pole on my street all the way to the main road...I must get a couple dozen people a year that stop in to find out why we have the poles tapped...standard answer is that is how we make the log cabin syrup..and why we have always called fake syrup pole syrup...

[Birdland Sugarbush]

To add insult to injury, I broke the tap trying to pull it out so I could flip the hook.

[maplestudent]

while tapping this past weekend I was reminded of the oak I tapped several years ago while walking by it and spotting the hole.

[eustis22]

only one oak? I got that beat

[billyinvt]

I tapped a poplar a few years back. The bucket is still hanging there.

Last December I was bottling syrup for Christmas gifts for coworkers. After I was done and was cleaning up, I didn't realize my hydrometer cup was still full of syrup until just after I dumped it into the sink.
