November Journal

oh no... he loves to eat all types of meat, chicken, hamburger, loves bacon and sausage. especially when I smoke my own. I just think he may become one in the future.

Took the 9 year old boy out twice last year. First time turkey hunting. Turkey comes in I get ready and he stands up and starts yelling run bird run. Second time was deer hunting I had a doe tag to fill and had 6 of them in front of me and the kid does the same thing. He loves eating venison though just wants no part of hunting them. 12 year old loves to hunt with me and my 15 year old daughter will sit there all day rattling and grunting in deer for me. 2 out of 3 I will take it.

My daughter would never have made noise well hunting. I think she only got to go hunting with me once when she was little if I remember right. She didn't think to much of pig butchering time at first or when rabbits were ready for the freezer but seemed to have got over it. Now she hunts boyfreinds and hangs their scalps on the wall instead.

I got a few pics of the concrete for the new sap building posted plus one of my Force 5 smokestack where it goes through the roof. They are here:

put in about 70 more T's on the laterals I put in yesterday. and stretched and pitched the tubing too. man my hands are a little sore.

I poured concrete today for my RO. Now my back is sore. The pain was worth it though.

Had to give a presentation in French today on maple syrup. Man that's hard to do. The dumbest guestion I got was why 1 liter of syrup was worth 12 bucks but 4 liters was worth 40 bucks. Had to expalin that the cost of the bottles goes down with bigger bottles. I have no idea if they believe me or not. One fellow asked to buy a 4 liter jug and several wanted smaller ones.

Replaced spark plugs on the wife's car tonight. 2005 Ford 500 v-6. I began by taking off the rear license plate and working forward until I got to the three plugs at the back of the engine!:( What a pain in the but. Never had to take off a intake manifold before to change plugs! Engine light is still on but car seems to run strong now. Probably needs electronic fault cleared?

Absolutely no maple news today I didn't even make it out to the sugar house. That's rare. Spending way to much time on the couch.:)

Could someone start a Maple Rehab Program (MRP)?

I've been working on the half pint. The barrel needed to be patched up before the season. I just got the ceramic blanket today, Mcmaster carr has a good price on it if your in the market. Still have to paint brick and test fire the bad boy. Not to mention I have to cut wood, this is the first year with this evaporator so I have no idea how much wood to cut, so I guess I'll just cut until I get tired of cutting and splitting.

Can you disconnect the battery post to clear the fault.
