Theron,
I hope to make it a full time occupation when I retire. which I hope is about 3yrs. I wont get enough from my retirement to live so I will have to do something else. That something else will be sugaring if all goes according to plan.

Dave- Looks like your going to have a good fix for that. I think if anything get the vac then your more assured to have sap every year. Youll have a lot of time to boil with being retired. Lot more of a sure thing with the vac. Theron
CODE RED!!!! CODE RED!!! A code red BIGSAP, SUNAMI SAP, sH#@ASROPHE SAP, alert is being issued for all mid to southern parts of the maple sugaring areas of North America. Be advised that perfect sap running temperatures will be coming your way. This is bucket fillin, line blowin, firewood depleten, temperatures that we as sugarmakers fantasize about all year long. BE READY! CLEAN TANKS, HIGH VAC, LOTS OF WOOD, RESTED UP, GAS FOR PUMPS, if your short on gas and money syphon it out of your kids minibikes whatever, just get it together and be ready. HERE IT COMES!!! Theron
Theron,

Doug- Ive got high 40s days and 20s nights next 3 days and dad just had to go out of town on an emergency. Over 3500 taps right now on the big suck and Im cleaning buckets now too. I JUST DONT CARE, BRING IT ON LORD, BRING IT ON!!!!!! Thanks for the offer Doug but Ill be fine. Ill get it in the barrells. I know the tricks now. Theron
Worse thing is, I logged on this morning just to see Theron's sap forcast. He's dead on correct, weather the next four days looks perfect in Pa
Theron why don't you come up here and bring the sap with you. We are looking at 3 more weeks they say.
PATheron,
Rub it in, rub it in.
We could use some of that up here.
But then again, when your at the end we're still going strong!!!!
Still cold up here.
Maybe Wednesday to Friday, trees have got to thaw out first!!
Have fun!!!
Dave
