Happy New Year!!!
Happy New Years to all and may your trees run long and sweet.
it's 2 below this morning. I'd like to get out a little bit around noon and hang some tubing.
happy new year
It's -9 here, going way up to +11 if the forecast is right. Now that I'm on a blood thinner, this is too cold for me, I'll wait for about +20 F.
Happy new year anyways to all. Keep warm.
-18 at 6:00 AM. Glad the wind isn't blowing, much. Happy New Year everyone! Ted
Happy New Year to all the maple folks!
Hoping to make syrup again this spring too! (guess this makes almost 60 years of sugaring for me, about 200 years documented for our family) Our small operation keeps me active in the spring and is the size that I can do the whole thing by myself if I have too. But usually there are friends and family that come along for the ride also. Hope your maple season is good in 2018! We are currently hunkered down with temps near zero and snowfall at about 1 inch per hour rate. Adding to the 2.5 feet we have on the ground in Albion area. With our sugarbush being all roadside trees a thaw is desired to get those big snow banks at the ditches down to a low level so we can think about hanging our 35 short run tubing systems. Lots to do in the sugarhouse to get things cleaned and ready too. But today we just enjoy the steady snow fall and dream of the hot fire in the old King evaporator!
Regards,
Chris
Happy new year ,,,just up from the r.o. room.....35 degres in there...glad i checked and got the other heater plugged in.....going to hit the woods tommrow...lots to do
I removed the bad fridge from the sugarhouse and put kero in the heater today. I double checked the heater in the RO closet and all is good. Tomorrow I will start cleaning the sugar House and doing some mods to the evaporator. I have a new to me 500 gallon poly tank that needs to be hooked up to the RO infeed if I can figure a way to temporarily set it without a pad. Don't normally tap till mid Feb but it seems to always creep up on me. Jeff
Have everything cleaned organized and ready except my IBC totes. Will take those to work this week and get them scrubbed up. Will run my new pump line next week and probably start running sap lines the week after. I tapped 1/11 last year and was boiling 1/17. The weather doesn't look like that this year but you never know!
