Hey Dave are you going to make the meeting Edinboro in Jan/ Missed you last year!
Jim
Jim,
I am hoping to. But I don't know for sure. I want to go visit my daughter a weekend before sugaring starts and I am going to my sons the 30th of the month. So that leaves me little time on weekends. I guess I will have to get to work in the evenings.
well didnt do much yestarday, pulled some 3/4 main line out of a sugar woods thats going to get logged off, it was 15 outside yestarday morning maybe colder but that orange mainline was brittle because it was so cold, i was starting to have second thoughts about it but with only 250 feet to put up or so im just going to get it up there on a warm day, also i think im going to run some of it onto the nieghboring piece of property and pick up about 20 soft maple and 20 rock maple, and just keep pounding out the laterals after school and on the weekends
Theron,
It will take more than one 40+ day to get things thawed out after this artic blast we are getting this week.
Brandon,
I was going to tell him that also, but I didn't want to dash his hopes.
Im watching for a trend you guys. Ill have to see how the days start to line up. Probly a false alarm and thats all right, that will give me more time to get more taps in. Kind of want another 200 anyway. You guys know theres nothing I like better than BIGSAP. Cant wait to hear the first SPLUSH! Hope you guys are getting ready becouse I think this is going to be another humdinger year. I got that feeling. Theron
I'm going to the Ag Trade Fair in Augusta on Wednesday, but they didn't have all that much on Maple sugaring last year. I can't make it to the maple meetings, but I hope there's something cool to check out this year.
See you there. I'll probably get there around 3pm.
is a humbdinger year good? it is right? i hope so, it needs to be to pay off all this debt this thing called sugaring has laid on meQuote:

I got back in the woods today after a week off from tubing. Today was reengineering a 12 year old tubing layout to vacuum, tomorrow is adding new trees to the system. I have to make 100 droplines tonight. I'm not expecting to tap till Feb. this year. With as cold as it's going to get this week it will take awhile for the trees to thaw out.
