Welcome!

I did the same thing(just followed along for a while) and even now don't comment a lot but this is the place I've visited a few times a week for years now and it's made a big impact on our operation.

Best of luck!

Glad to hear some taps are in. Please keep us updated with runs. I'm curious when I will tap, this week or next. I always struggle with when to tap! Good luck!!!

I'm all in down in south east CT. This coming week looks like it should be pretty good early season runs.
