Jim- Were mostly just hot air. Zar
jim, no need to keep up, or try.. Do the best you can, make the best product you can, and be very happy with that.. Oh and throw in a rib poke here and there whenever you can...
Jim,
these guys are still young and wet behind the ears, not mature and wise like you!
LOL!
The family and I just got back from pulling mainline and tubing from a bush I used to use that produced SQUAT !! at least I can salvage some things like the 9 gauge wire and the mainline is still in great shape for??? what I don't know but. the laterals are shot... lots chewed up down and filthy. but at least it's out of there now.
Problem with that bush
A-not enough grade
B- too many hemlocks
C- mostly reds that didn't give much sap
it would have been useful if it was in my backyard I could have thinned real good and ran vacuum but.......
well made the best of a bad time made some cream with dark syrup to see how it would turn out it tastes so sweet it is great made some maple sugar also burned up to food processors then went to see my aunt to see what she had she sent me home with an old hand crank flour grinder in work awsome
Boyd,
Thought that was you. You stopped and visited at the sugarhouse one day a while back. Hope the 100 taps is working out for 09. I am going to stick with about 400.
We are getting hit, as probably you are too, with 6 inches of lake effect snow. Great! I am supposed to get new tires on the car tomorrow , IF I can make it to Erie. It has been handling very poorly in snow.
Hey Father and Son, Hows your 500 doing in the snow??
Finally saw the new 09 F150 Ford on commercial tonight while watching the Ford 400 NASCAR race. Looks about like the F250 from the front of the truck.
Wood boxes are full and the furnace is roaring.
Finished extracting the rest of the honey yesterday (4 supers) and now have about 165 lb of fall honey.
Nic got a nice jake bird yesterday behind the house. Eric missed a medium racked 8 point just after the rain stopped yesterday also about 300 yards back of the sugarhouse. He was a little upset since thats the second buck he missed this year.
Chris
ya chris that was me we are getting hit hard with the white stuff i have to go to work to night as i look out my window it is looking like they are going to close 79 it is bad
Boyd,
Be careful out there I-79 is really bad with west winds. Keep the shiny side up!
Chris
well atleast i amnot the only one missing bucks
Jim-
you are way too spoiled with those bucket trees. Then you go check some gravity tubing and you wonder why you have it up.
Hemlocks, and red maples. Wait, were you up here and pulling all my mainlines down?
