Merry Christmas to all you Traders.

[spud]

I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone on Maple Trader. Let us never forget that JESUS is the reason for the season. May God bless every Trader and their family during this Christmas season and for all 2019.

Good to see you back again Spud -- and all the other "seasonal" Traders. Season must be getting closer. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Only if it's too hot in the sugar house, and may you, and your family, also have a great Christmas.
Boating is the hobby that carries us through til' syrup season.
And oh, Thanks Spud for starting the thread.

From me too, merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone. My wish is for peace on earth.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Spud and to all Maple Traders. Everybody have a safe and happy holiday season.

oh man I hear ya....if someone said I had to give up my evaporator or my fishing boat I'm not sure what I'd do, but probably the evaporator would be in trouble

[maple flats]

I had a boat a few years, I soon learned where the saying "a boat is just a hole in the water to dump money in".

My thought exactly! Now if I had to choose between my evaporator or my camping trailer.......

Merry Christmas!

Dave, it's a shame your boat experience was not good...boating is a great family activity.
But it looks like you found a different hobby “Maple” to dump money in...;)
So it’s all good.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Merry Christmas everyone.

[Super Sapper]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. I have "dumped" a lot more money into maple syrup than my boat the last few years.

[DrTimPerkins]

Maple syrup tastes a lot better than a boat, doesn't sink, and won't run out of gas. :)

You're right on all counts Doc...but we can't make syrup after April. Gotta have something to do! For me it's boats - both Sail and Power.
One likes the wind - the other hates it. ;)

Anyway...back on track. Merry Christmas to all, and we all need to get busy - it's getting a bit testy in here.

Boat (bot) Noun. "A hole in the water surrounded by wood into which one pours money"

Hey John...I got nothing against boats....except that in Vermont you can only use them 3-4 months a year. I much refer power boats (see photo)...sailing always seemed like too much work to me.

Acronym for BOAT.....Bust Out Another Thousand.

A lot like buying new "shiny stuff for Maple.

Doc, that's a nice looking boat.
Merry Christmas to all.

Merry Christmas everyone, and I hope your tanks run over with 3%sap this coming season.

Merry Christmas to everyone from all of us at Tarheelbilly Farm. ( My wife and I had our first date on my boat- Aug 07, we got married in Nov 07, and per her request, she got an engagement kayak instead of an engagement ring- she's such a practical woman). One of these days I'm goin to sell enough syrup to upgrade my boat- of course for the next three years I've got to sell enough syrup to upgrade my evaporator and build a permanent sugar camp.

Maple trader folks,
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
Regards,
Chris
