Power is still out, doesn't affect woods work though. hung some laterals today.
Funny how a day can disappear in a blink doing outside work, and the clock never moves when doing inside work.

Guys,
I feel Jim(mapleman) is getting really soft on us all of the sudden. What's he going to do when he gets old. All this nice wood split and drying and he wants to spend a grand to buy oil. LOL!
Ahh Oil... flip the switch and bubbling goodness!! and more time to tweak and keep the quality control on the front burner!!
Soft? no but still a bit leary of more taps/more sap/bigger evap/WOOD?
When I'm so used to
oil
Jim you just want to be able on your computer while boiling. That won't be as easy to do when you have to fire the evaporator every 5 to 8 minutes.
Baton down the hatches boys and get the plows hooked up!!!!
Here we go .......... some more snow!!
Forecast is for 6" - 12" here!
The problem is that there is still alot of folks out of power and this is not going to help the effort!
I have one appointment this morning and then I am going to come home and watch it from this side of the window!
Everyone stay safe out there today!!
It's going to be a "WHITE CHRISTMAS."

Hittin the lines again starting tonight. Hoping to finish my side of the road. You guys need to cross your fingers for me my truck brings some good money. I want to get that Brandon bush in bad. Hope I can finish across the road by end of the month. Think there are between 7 and 800 over there. Talked to my good buddy Richard yesterday hes thinkin good season this year with the weather what it is. He upgraded his ro just so he doesnt have to worry about gettting behind. 6000 gallon per hour. You guys think Im a nutcase. Theron
Theron,
We don't think you are a nut case! We know you are! Hey good luck pulling lines. My work has come to a stand still. I am waiting on a few more rolls of tubing. Hope to get them this weekend. We are in the middle a snow and ice storm. I hope we fair better than our brothers in New England did last week end.
Theron it is cool to hear that you are going after those other trees, just make sure you have your swimmies on come Feb!
If you do get that bush done for this year how are you going to get it back to the sugar shack? Use the 4wheeler?
Or are you going to put a tank in the back seat of the car!!
I hope I can make it up your way once my season is over but before your season winds up. I want to see the tsunami of sap coming into that sugar shack.
Theron,
Of course you are a nut case. Just about everyone on here is! Who else would be talking in August about making maple syrup ?
You do take it to a new level, however! Shall we nominate you as chief squirrel?
Funny how Richard can make more syrup in ONE HOUR than 90% of the trader members can make in an entire season of work! LOL!
