Hmmmm wouldnt work. Me and Polotics are not a good fit. I get so enraged over our government I go nuts. All my family and friends know not to bring up politics in front of me because they are in for a long heated debate. It was funny I was at my warehouse the other day and this new kid I hired made a comment to me about Bill Clinton and the whole darn place cleared out in seconds lol.Quote:

Now with the releasers thawed if it freezes again today they won't be froozen solid.
ordered i new releaser today the run we did have last week my homemade double just couldn't keep up so i tried to wip up another one but a lack of parts and a long back order on parts made me call up leader today this will be the first thing in my sugar house that i didn't build
jrthe3, is it the BHR?
not sure if it is a BHR but it is a single vertical mechanical
More than likely it is a BHR..they look just like the Bernards. I had no idea that that was what I was buying until i went to pick it up. They say they are proven worthy and are made by two individuals that were employed by Bernard and Lapierre. Go figure. We'll see how the Double works. I too broke down and bought a "factory" built unit. My pvc homemade Bender hybrid wouldn't allow for high vac. :)
Spent the afternoon digging 150 yards of the "Theron" mainline and dry line from under 18 inches of frozen crusty stuff. The lines have come apart at a y where a side line enters. Dry line ends are five feet apart. Come a longs tomorrow to re assemble them. Need about a day to get the pumps and releasers plumbed in and a day for the sugar house and RO. Probably start drilling sometime next week. Get to work in a snowstorm tomorrow:)
Test boiled yesterday to clean everything. With the blower and all pine split wrist size and smaller makes the pans jump. Today I tapped about 30 buckets. Sap was running. Hopefully I will boil in the next few days. The local maple dealer is suposed to get jugs in tommorrow so I will make the trip there. Saturday Im supposed to look at some maples my friend got permision to tap in the next town over. Hopefully I will have 200 taps this year.
They are calling for 4 to 6 inches of wet heavy snow tonight and tomorrow. Might not be able to make it home tomorrow...ugh. Havent boiled any new sap since last friday. Weather looks better for sunday and monday so hopefully we will get a decent run but we will see. Broke my hydrometer so i ordered two more of those that should come in on monday. Labels come tomorrow for my bottles.
