Sadly the time has come that Ron isn't able to tap anymore. His health issues have made this pretty impossible. He reads Tge Maple News that I get for him each year. Watches his Kindle and I show him maple things on my phone. It was great while it lasted...

So sorry to hear that. At least through reading, he is able to keep up with what is going on.

That is a really sad thing to hear. Hopefully you are able to get some product from a local source. I wish you nothing but the best for the future. Hope Ron enjoys all the news.

So sorry to hear that.
I, by choice, quit tapping last year but I still fulfill by need to satisfy the addiction, I buy bulk, pack it into retail and still take care of my customers.
I guess the "by choice" was not 100% accurate, it's mostly because of a bad hip, but also because I now get cold far too easy since I was put on a blood thinner after I had blood clots (DVT). I didn't ask for either of those.
We get old for too soon, I still feel young inside but my body argues with that feeling. At 75 I no longer have the strength nor endurance I did just a few years ago.
