We in NW WIS got above 0 deg F for the first time in about a week a few days ago, and will be above freezing maybe tomorrow, for an hour. BUT, the time is near. I am tweeking the woods, making it just right...
YOU BETTER WATCH OUT, YOU BETTER NOT CRY, YOU BETTER NOT POUT I'M TELLIN YOU WHY, SAPPER TZAR IS TOUTIN HIS DRILL!
Bigsap Warning For The Southern Regions Of The Maple Sugaring Areas Of The Continental United States!!! This Is A Code Blue Bigsap Warning, I Repeat, Code Blue Bigsap Warning. Imminent Warming Temperatures In This Part Of The Syruping Region Could Result In A Serious Sapflow Situation. Use Your Own Judjement On Tapping Dates But Do Not Take Warning Lightly. Have All Your Tanks Clean, Evap Ready, Drill Batteries Charged, Plenty Of Beer And Cigarettes For The Sugar House Whatever Just Get Ready!!! Remember, As Sugarmakers, We Were Put On This Earth To Bring Delicious Maple Products To The Masses (for A Fair Return On Our Investments) And We Need To Take This Responsability Seriously. Good Luck To All. Zar
the pump will be on it way to the big T today see how it goes mite have to hook the leaf blower up backwards to the releaser
lol, let me know how your releaser works out, hey are you maybe interested in building another one???????
Theron,
I know you are a little high strung, but arent you getting a bit ahead of your self with the BIGSAP warnings? We have 2ft of snow and it was 0degs here this morning. and only one upper thirtys day in sight. go have your self some of what you relax with and make plans for more tubing!
Your probly right Dave but I think Im smelling BIGSAP in the air. You know I always go a little haywire this time of year. You guys just have to humor me till I get myself tired out down the road a little bit. Ill give you guys a heads up when I cap the first drum. Im thinkin that its soon going to be running HARRRRRRD. Theron
I'm all about having BIGSAP, but don't be calling for the sap gods too soon. I still have 200 more taps of tubing to run and an evaporator to brick and plumb up. And if it's going to be that good of a year I'll need to get more wood.
PA,
I don't think the BIIIGG SAAAAP is in our near future!!
It hasn't got above freezing here in more than ........... well I can't remember when, but it's been a while!!
Those trees are sooooo froze they won't be thawed out before July!!!
We're still getting below "0" at night!!!
I know what your smelling, it's the neighbor's pipe, any quesses what's in it!!!
Hey you just keep pumping us up!!!!
I figure another 21 days before we tap, if then!
Dave
Hey Theron,
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You gave me the push I needed w/ your "bigsap" report! My neighbor has been wanting to sell me five adjoining acres for 30K. It only has ten Maples on it, but I figured w/ the "Bigsap" coming it would be well worth it. The "Bigsap" would probably pay off the land in no time. To make sure I got it I offered five thousand MORE!
As I gave him my check and walked away, I thought I heard him say "What a Big Sap" I turned and asked, "Oh, you heard about it too!?" and wondered as I walked away why he let it go so cheap!!
