September journal

Guys- Any of you remember who on here had the one year old 600 gph ro for sale? Seems like it was bought for a spare or something. Theron

C'est La Vive as they say up here.
Weather is not to bad up here and have the yard full of wood. She who has to be obeyed says that's enough for her to stack this year.
Found out that I wasn't thinking to much and my syrup pan is buried behind 7 cords of wood and I mean 7x 128 squared so I might have to do some digging come March or figure out something else. DUH Of course it wasn't me who piled the wood butttttttttttttt.

There you go talking that forgien language again Ken!:lol:

DanO don't sweat it, there will be another come along any time, anyway now just look at all the free time you will have for the truck and getting things ready for the coming season.

DanO there is a cute 17 year old Columbian girl in my french class I can fix you up with. You better be pretty smart becasue she's no dummy beleive me. If I was 30 some years younger and smarter I could get in real trouble going to this school.
I have learnt french words i don't even know what they mean.

dano2840, It has been almost 20 years since high school and I still don't know why they do some of the things they do. Give it a little time and Im sure you will find out why? One of my boys is mad in love with a girl that dumps him every few months and never has a reason but keeps coming back. I will never figure people out.
Get your wood in fix that truck and make some syrup. It will drive her crazy if she sees you happy everyday and she will be wondering why. Sounds like you got alot of friends here on the trader supporting you and hopefully that helps out a little on the happy meter.

ya well i found out yestarday from a friend that she is interested in my best friend he has said nothing about it and a couple of my other friends knew that she was interested in him a couple weeks ago but they neglected to tell me. Good friends huh?

Those friends were in a pretty tough spot too.

Lock in on what 3rdgen said. Use the emotional energy to get something done. Back in the day I had my personal record bench press the day my girl friend of 2 yrs dumped me as she figure there were going to be better fish in the college sea. Man I was strong that day!!!

Cut wood, fix that sap hauler truck, get on with the good things...

Starting to sound like a Sonny James recording. I can write a book on this stuff. That's why I am nuts enough to make maple syrup.
Weather's holding rather well and she who should be obeyed has all the wood in the yard piled now except the big chunks which I have to split so she can pile them. Will see if she wants me to haul more or not. Theres a good 5 cords out in the bush yet that I cut last fall. I might just continue thinning around maples instead and worry about the wood next summer.
Met a lady in school from Texas and asked her why the hell she is in Quebec. Her answer was L'amour. She is haveing as much fun as me being over 50 and haveing talked western our whole lives..
I kid you not I spent all afternoon learning what Canadain money was You would believe it. When I told him the names we use for 25 cent peices I don't think her believed me.

look at it this way danno. if you were married to her for 20 years and this went on and all your friends knew about it, and told you after the divorce. where would you be?

I have been gathering green wood for the year after next's syrup season. The thing I like about the evaporator is we can feed it practically anything.

Wood that I would never use at home ends up on the sugarhouse pile.

My only rules are almost no nails, no paint and no pressure treated.

There is a surprising amount of wood that meets my exacting criteria.

One time a friend brought over a chair that he thought would be great in the sugarhouse. It had a crack in the seat and pinched my butt. The next time he visited he asked about the chair. At that exact moment I was pushing the last piece of that chair into the evaporator.
