It looks like I'll be missing the sugaring season this year. Last summer we had a hose burst in our second floor laundry room while we were on vacation. One hundred twenty something degree hot water gushed for a week. We lost pretty much all but the shell of the house to water damage and mold.
The insurance company has taken forever to give us a reasonable settlement, so we're still not even back in the house, yet. So, it looks like my trees will get a break from the drill this year. I'll use the time off to learn how to weld, finish building the sugar shack this summer, and make some upgrades. I'm also hoping to get out and see some other operations running this season. I haven't been able to do that since starting this addiction four years ago because any extra time was put into boiling.
So, I'll be thinking of you all and reading the Trader with envy (and still asking lots of questions). Have a great season!
