snow sleet freezing rail, sailed off the plow like a tidal wave i wish i had a snow blower cause it would have shot it far, plus i could have used it as a sand blaster, went to tighten a line today and the wire broke right at the ratchet, the wire isnt big enough any way but it was free so i used it, put up my first 2 taps in my new sugar woods, YAY!
Syrup and honey sales are starting strong for 2009. Maybe more "nesting" going on as folks stay at home more?
Tomorrow may be the day for Dorsey ( grandsons) open heart surgery. It has been postponed for several weeks do to other emergency surgery's at Children Hospital in Columbus.
Delivered the tanned deer hide to Mike tonight. I think he was tickled with it.

Today I broke down and bought a propane pot type heater for the sugarhouse... I'm sick of working in there with no heat... I had a wood stove but it was too small and once I got the bigger evap in there I lost that extra room
this thing is 75K-125K Btus depending on what setting... holy cow does it make heat... no cold now when I'm canning or whatever in there!! Well as long as I have propane... it will suck it up fast!! so heat it up.. and set it on low once it's tempered in the shack!!!
with the weather and a meeting tonight... still no bricks in the evap... maybe some tomorrow, But Sat is a day spent in Verona at the conference!!
going to spend some $$$ there on " STUFF " ;)
Jim, that propane heater will work nice while your bricking as well. Mortar sets up alot nicer if your not bricking in 15 degree weather.
