November Journal

Snoop- I'm way behind the 8 ball today/just got done mixing up some feed W/Medication for my bees and by the time i get to the SH and loaded and headed north=I might not make Saint J before 12 Noon and i need to hit the bank also as i'm not sure how expensive your lawyer is but i usually got 5-10 Bennys in my wallet all the time and i don't want to say to him yes-I'll sign the contract and find out the bill is $1300 or something?? Then i would look like i was genetically defective.,

Monday is probably the better plan/That way i can get the trailer cleaned off of the old tubing (Just clipping off the 7/16 taps) and the tire pumped up/fixed? check out the wiring as i know the county bent up a tail light moving it on me. Get everything all set and then i can get the Pirates tank while i'm up that way and bring it to Maine and kill the whole day monday in 1 shot. Saves about 80 miles of traveling rather then me go up to your SH and Back up again 2 days later.

I still have to see lots of taps (Should say maple trees available to use) before i'm going to enter into any kind of agreement/just want to make sure it's worth my while. I'll give you a call when i'm in Bradford, VT monday.

Sounds like a lot of us are in the same boat...we will be pulling line in the cold.
Any advice on what is the most efficient method of doing line work? I have been doing the woods in a 'work zone' approach. Meaning I get a wet/dry line system hung, tight and level, and then do 1 wire and mainline, laterals. Then move on to another mainline area. On short work days, I go back and put in drops, manifolds, ladders if needed.

PaCzar, I am pulling for you in the Tzunami Szap wars. It may be because the other 'team' has such an anti-establishment flavor but still has a Governor!:razz:

I just got some hopeful news this morning without asking. The landowner who has said I can tap his sidehill after he cuts about 6 trees marked for removal sent word that he took next week off to cut them. These were originally going to be cut in Aug. Now i will be stringing tubing as soon as hunting season ends, likely a lot over my Christmas vacation which is about a week and a half. Hope the snow isn't too deep then, but I'll do what ever it takes. This sidehill is adjacent to where i have 150 taps now and will add about 400 this year and maybe as much as another 3-500 next. Then Vac on a gas powered pump will be called for. I was beginning to doubt if this would happen for the 09 season. For the 2010 season I will definately need an RO before I can dare the vacuum.

Don't worry about that=I do have a mini Birth Cert. that i carry in my wallet at all times there buddy. It's a quite tattered/but you can at least read all the info and it does say the State of NH at the top=That might be in the Dominican Republic for all i know.

Good news maple flats! What sort of arrangement will you have with him? I am hoping to approach a neighbor with 10 acres with a few hundred trees on next summer...just wondering how to do this neighborly like!

Jeff E; Start by going over with a quart of syrup under your arm!!

Make that at least 2 gal= if there is a couple hundred taps.

Help, I've fallen and I can't get up.

Hey Matt your back!!!

Look what the cat dragged in... Man wonders never cease to amaze me...
