Talked to the electrician tonight and I can get him to wire in the AOF blower when I get it. Will put in a dimmer and mount the controls next to the air under fire blower switch. (Nice to have a 20 year old grandson that is an electrican:))
Not much maple happening.
Except thinking about those guys in KY making syrup! Weather will be up here before we know it and every one will be busy.
Jim Brown,
Better get going on that arch rebuild, or Gary may have to boil all your sap!
Don't forget to post some pictures too.
Regards,
Chris

Close to a foot of snow has fallen here since like 1:00 am. And it is only 7 o clock. I think we are going to get pounded today. We were way over due. Our area has been dodging bullets all winter. Oh well. Heading up into the woods to run lats. and drops, and to get wet.

Chris; I have some pic's of the naked 2x6 just angles and tin! looking forward to getting it re-tinned with S/S. GaryR was over Monday evening and said should not be a problem. He has a brake(he made) and a plasma cutter. Should put a lot of life in it as well ' I'll see you at the meeting and let you know how we made out!

Snowing like mad here. We're supposed to get 6-9 inches, with more on the coast. We haven't had much snow here, so this is okay by me. I went up to check the sugarhouse and we probably have a couple of inches already. Gave me a chance to use the 4 wheel drive. Nice. If I'm going to be guzzling gas I may as well have 4wd. My little truck got totaled last Thursday, and I'm in a Jeep Cherokee borrowed from my father.

We got 2' of snow dumped in the woods today. So much that the S185 bobcat with a regular bucket had a hard time with all the snow so I only used it on the blacktop. Then I got to break out the JD450. No amount of snow can stop that. Hopefully some of this will melt so I can get into the woods and hang tubing.

We only got about 8-10", real fluffy. Should settle in a day or 2. You guys farther east sure got hit harder and you can't handle it like we can. We have locations within 50 miles of here that can get 24-36" lake effect and 12 hrs later they have everything opened up and might even get hit like that again. I'm glad we don't get hit like that only rarely.

the roads where total crap today from 4pm to 8 pm i saw two tractor trailers go by the house on the hook..both smashed up.
the only good thing about today was a good report from my doctor and a package from the maple guys came today.i bought some fittings from them.

Also ended up with 17 inches of snow here. It just got that much harder to work in the woods.

Not much maple today only got 4 maybe 5 inches from the storm. Really windy all day, got everything plowed out easily but it just blows back in, owell it was fun too plow some snow again. Picked up some of the tools laying around the sugar house. Hoping to get into the woods tomorrow to cut some brush but will see how the weather is. Waiting on the roof jack now. Once that is here the evap will be ready to go. I can't wait to fire it up for the first time.
