I finally finished up the front room of the sugarhouse today. I mudded the walls behind the woodstove yesterday, so today I sanded, painted and put trim up. Not bad. I call it sugarhouse carpentry, because I use rough wood and it's not too fussy. The woodstove in there makes it a good place to work on a chilly day. I guess 10 years is enough time, so it's good to be done.

I finished up my studio this summer, and then I realized that the other end was rotting. It took me 20 years to bring that project to completion. I guess I am in the mood for finishing projects this year.

I have some other projects in mind, so it's good to get these two done. For now...

Wisconsin gun hunt just finished yesterday, Had a dream season that will never ever happen again. Got a 8 pt, a 9 pt, and a 12 point. (group hunting/group tagging legal in Wis.) I was in the right place at the right times. Today i'm going to walk pipeline and take any limbs and trees off the lines. Mild weather today, 40 degrees.

In for breakfast from hunting. So far our group has put down three doe, one by me. Head back out after some coffee and go for the big Buck. Good luck to all those hunting today. Be safe.

Thursday, dug trench for electric service and ate turkey.

Friday, got wire and supplies and installed. Went to the woods to better cover my tank and level it and proceeded to get my truck stuck. Fortunately my Uncle was driving by and he pulled me out.

Saturday, Bought and bottled 20 gallons of syrup.

Sunday, Installed drops and saddles on 90 taps and ran 2 rolls of tubing.

Back from Goodriches with 20 rolls of 30-p and 7 rolls 3/4",,,,,,GOTIME!!!

What ever happened to the Canadian wannabe,KENWP. Havent seen any post from him. He was good for at least 50 post a week.

Well, deer season is pretty much over. Good thing my son-in-law shot his first deer otherwise no vension in my freezer. We spent some time cutting and splitting wood this weekend to get ready for next year. I came up with a new fixture to cut the kiln dried kindling wood that my buddy Doug gets from one of his suppliers worked great! Check out my flickr site to see it if you're interested.
