Clan,
There is a book on everything. Some of us go by it, some don't. It can work either way.
Brandon, you know Theron is full of youthful exuberance . Some time it needs to be reigned in a little, slow down before you get a head of your self.I know he's capable of producing more maple than Canada. But he needs to work into it or he wont last long. Theron pace yourself
BIGSAP when you are pumping the water out of the swiming pool so you can use the pool to hold sap BIGSAP
filling the wood shed today finally
I do like his exuberance but normally when someone goes into anything like he is, they get burned out pretty quick and I know where you are coming from. I hate to see him sell everything and give up hunting and his other hobbies, but to each his own.
Either way, I hope he does great. Wish I had a setup like he does at his house vs 1/2 away. I could make a lot more syrup and have a lot more fun not being away from my family so much during syrup season.
Pesonally I dont care what other people do as long as they are not hurting anyone. I just like to give theron the rasberries from time to time and make him think about what he is doing. I am sure he will be fine. Right? Theron.
I know people sometime think I am going to fast also, but we all know when we need to slow down.
I know you guys like to give me some rubbing from time to time. I dont blame you. I actually like it. My motto on the syrup thing is nobody needs to be wrong. I listen to what everyone else does and go look at their stuff and just kind of go with what works for me. Steal everyones good ideas. Brandon- I think that bush I was telling you Im naming the Brandon Bush may be a real serious producer. Very good exposure and I think it may do very well just on gravity if we get much of a season. Ill go back to the hunting more when this wears off probly. Ive taken my boys hunting quite a bit this year and theyve got lots of stuff, their only 8 and 10, and the stuff Im selling I dont care that much about anyway. It allows me to pay for more of my syrup stuff cash. Im having fun and I dont care much about material things anymore. I want to set this syrup thing up as a nice business for me and my family. Good way to keep track of the kids down the line. Plus I want the BIGSAP. If I do get the other taps in think how much fun you guys will have laughing when Im swamped. At least I have an ro. Dave is the tough one. He made a ton of syrup last year without any cheating. I cheat. Theron
We enjoy giving you a hard time from time to time as you don't mind and you have a good attitude about everything and I think you have a good perspective on things. Good luck with the young ones and spend as much time with them as you can. Making syrup will teach them how to work and values in life. Before you know it, they will be gone.
Brandon- We have a great time together. Im lucky to have a very happy family. Were a good team. I was thinking today about you posting that you couldnt hold a light for me with the syrup thing and its funny how people think. I actually consider all you guys the experts. I rarely post when a new guy has questions becouse I consider the rest of you to be more knowledgable. When I came on here a year ago you guys treated me like family and I really appreciated it. I didnt know squat and mostly what I know now is from the people on this site and my buddy Richard locally. I really like it a lot coming on here every day and seeing what everyone is up to. Theron
Got up on the mountain to see the sun rise, and worked long enough to see it set. I finished retrofitting the older part of the bush and found more trees that I didn't run tubing to.
Here's an awesome update!! Oil Barrel, 38 bucks which means delivered oil UNDER 2 BUCKS LOCALLY !!!!! Now if I could fill 2 tanks up and NOT buy Xmas gifts I would be going oil FULL STEAM AHEAD!!
