Chris- Sounds like things are going real good for you so far this season. Im getting things more finetuned thanks to all my good friends on the trader. Dave Y- Hope your getting that sap in the barrells. I just looked at the forecast and HOLY BIGSAPSICKLES, YOU BETTER STOKE THAT THING AND STOKE IT GOOD!!!!, YOUVE GOT RECORD BOOK CATAGORY BIGSAP COMIN!!! 9 STRAIGHT DAYS OF BUCKET BUSTIN RUNS!!! Youll have crop end of next week. Have a happy. Theron

Thanks Jerry and Czar, I hope to be over 3000 next season on vac, all on my 40, plus what I buy from neighbors/friends, maybe 500 taps worth on Gravity.

I think full bank 7" is the ticket...I will start counting pennies and see where I am at....its a good thing we don't have business managers, they would kill us or have the board take away our cards and check books!!!

Dont mention it Jeff. I can keep you in ideas to spend more money. Im sick of spending money too so thats why Im using my old press. Look guys this is the deal starting thursday of this week. Im not saying this is the best run of all time Im just saying its EVEN BETTER THAN THAT! WE ARE TALKING THIS ONE WILL BE TALKED ABOUT FOR GENERATIONS!!! GET YOUR REST THIS IS THE MOTHER LOAD OF ALL SAP RUNS!! MAYDAY!! MAYDAY!!! I was going to go string tube and put some gravity taps in tonight but man its cold. Had to take the night off. Got the chills, headache, feel kind of like dog crap so to speak. Gonna have to regain my strength tonight and tomarrow for the big one. So many trees so little time. All that R.O.ing this weekend must of wore me down. Only so many episodes of Ax-men Booy and I can watch in a 24 hour period. Gonna have to rest back up. Theron

A friend of mine tells a story of one year on Kearsage mountian where sap ran (HARD) night and day for a week straight,,then, ran during the day for 20 more days (HARD),,,cant remember the # of taps,,1500? or the gallons of product produced (750?)but they had the 4x12 going 24 hours a day---and were making trips to the sawmill for slabs,,The great sap gods were smiling down on their children,,,,,CAN YOU DIG IT??
Think it just might be one of those years my friends,,,just mabey,,,,
Gonna start here Sunday,,,,,,,

Guys- Just checked the weather and all I have to say is GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Checked the extended forecast and looking at a week of 40's during the day and 20's at night. Get those pumps warmed up, tanks cleaned, and wood stacked. It's going to be a long week.

Parker, that would be AWESOME...in the true sense of the word. It seems we build systems and tap thinking of maximizing the piddles we have gotten used to over the last few years.

I had 4 days last year were it ran good, early April, during and after a spring snow storm. I WAS BURIED and EXAUSTED. We got about the same about of sap in those 4 days as the rest of the year combined. More sap at the end of 18 hour boils than when I started. Makes for good stories.

I cant imagine 20 days like that, with the old system. Tubes, RO's, no breakdowns, I would have a chance to actually enjoy a run like that.

Just checked our local forcast here starting tomorrow there is 11 days out the next 14 that is great sapweather. I cannot recall ever having a stretch of weather like this. If it holds true man are we in for the motherload. Get lots of sleep sapmen we are gonna need it. Good boiling to all.

BIGSAP UPDATE- HOLY SAPBUCKETS IS IT EVER GOING TO RUN! Put 60 more taps out last night in the dark kind of a vac gravity hybrid. Hitting the buckets today. Im sick and tired of hearing about all the bucket bigsap going on so Im hanging them myself. Cant wait to go back to drillin. MAKE ME PROUD MEN, GO GET THE BIGSAP. Theron
