Temp is 28 degrees F. right now. Not to shabby for Dec. Supposed to warm up over the weekend and rain here also. Maybe need skates on the car instead of tires. Rained hard couple days after Xmas last year also. Was cold when I went to town about 5:30 and pouring rain on the way home at 11. I can see the weather is going to be weird this year again also.

That should cover the bases. Been studiing the calander a little today and it looks like 5 weeks to January 30th. Ive declared that day the start of OPERATION TAPOFF at Pierce and Sons Maple. Not going to worry about studiing the weather out this year just tapping in and going for it. Dont want to miss any BIGSAP so taking the week off and tapping in. Cant wait till then . Thats the fun part. Just have to get everything done by then. Hope everyone has a great Christmas. Theron
My Christmas wish is for BIGSAP!!! for all and to all a good season.
Made it out to the sugarwoods for the first time in a very long time yesterday,,was able to walk and repair all of the Hoit road woods,,got all the brush off the lines on Rte.11, still need to go thru that with the 2 hander and fix some lines (not sure Ill be able to tap that this spring-proporty for sale),,,and walked most of the Hill woods,,got a lot done, still more to do on 2 of those 3 woods,,,,,but not far from being ready to tap,,,now I can concentrate on the new woods that I need to set up (800-1000?),,,,,I have my wood shed just about full (40? cords)...need to repair tanks in Hill and Rte.11,,,,,,in better shape than last winter,,,looking forward to filling many barrells....................
yep i came down with a fever on christmas, after i opened my presents i started movin wood, today a buddy of mine came up and he split wood and i cut it thank god he was splitting because i was having all i could do to stay standing upright while running the saw, my heads hurting my nose is running like a siv and my throats closed right up, but this was the first time my friend has ever worked for me today and he cuts alot of wood for himself and he said he would help me if i needed it, i told him during sugaring season i can use all the help i can get, he said i will be there when i can, did get some wood cut today but man i feel like keeling over
I have been not well for over a week. Figured it was over with but today was sick again and ended up flat on my back instead of outside. It's nice and warm here or 38 degrees which ever works. Owell the cat didn't mind.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
Finished cutting up slab wood this afternoon. A bit late for sure. Shed is about 90% full. Not good! Have to finish it with some kd pine boards.
Haven't seen the woods at all. Did get water run to sugarhouse a few weeks ago. Still need to get sink. Also have to get bulk tank home. Then there is neighbors woods to check for tubing.
We have been having the holiday whirl for a couple of days, so I haven't gotten up to the sugarhouse. I have a little time, so I may do some wood cutting.
got some trees down today. 50F here in NH today very strange. I think we broke a record here. back to normal tonight and snow tomorrow. Got 3/4 of a grapple load of pine last week for 2 gallons of sryup should be about 4-5 cords maybe a little more. January's coming time to get those loose ends tied up and get ready!!!!
