Parker- hopefully Marvin was consulted and is alright with your decision to boil concentrated sap!
Congrats, what did you get?

That RO is going to save a lot of trees in New Hampshire.
I'll try and get one on sometime. I went with a friend who has been to this spot for the past ten years. So I had a lot of help and know how to go off of. It was a big bull for that area best the group has ever seen. Kinda like a big buck go to the least likely spot, that is where we found him. Muzzleloader hunt Travel, condo (i know hard to take) and tags just around 1,200.00 I hit the jake pot on this deal. Awsome experience a most do again and again and again...Quote:

If you can do it self is the way to go.The money saved pays for the next few years. A Few guys split coasts you have help if it's needed great time. A lot of guides are taking you on publice land as it is. I don't know about the place he goes maybe 5 gs is a great deal but I can buy a lot of sugar eguipment with 20,000 Gs in four years.Quote:

Hey Parker - I have an old Sap Brothers RO. They did like to use lots of membranes, didn't they? Mine was manufactured as a 250 gph with one 4" membrane. The company came through the year after manu and retrofitted with 4 membranes. It's old, but still gets rid of the water:)
Last few days have been just crazy with the low pressure system. 60 mile an hour gust! power was out for 9 hours but some areas won't have power until Saturday. I just hate to see what the woods looks like. Might be alot of limbs/trees over the lines? Monday just as the storm was starting i whacked a nice 8 point with a 15 inch spread. Right after i hit it the rain came hard. couldn't find it that night with no blood trail, but found it early the next morning. Now i can concentrate on maple work.
Just deer hunting and cutting pallets. Oh yea the work thing too.
Also took the rear pan and WRU off the arch last night to eyeball the unit for AOF. If the funding gets approved through the finace dept., then I should have another project for this winter.
Hope things ar good in all of maple land!
