Dave Y, Nice set up! Do you put your bulk tanks out and take them back when done? How was your deer season ?

Dave Y, Nice set up! Do you put your bulk tanks out and take them back when done? How was your deer season ?
Mike,
This is my first year with the bulk tanks. I plan to leave them out. I dont have much choice. I would not want to hire the boom truck every year. It would be impossible to drag the tanks up and down over that bank by hand.
Deer season was fun saw lots of deer. Matter of fact saw deer every day I was out. which was about 10 days. no legal bucks. and no doe tag. My son shot a nice doe though. which made me happy. He doesnt get to hunt much since he left for college and got married. Thanks for the completments on the set up. It has been alot of work , but it will be worth it.
Dave Y,
So that's why they call you Old muskrat head? I never made the connection:) HeHeHe:)
Whats this about additional boiling capacity in the near future??? No RO? The maple gods may not be happy:)
Boy you sure have out grown that little 210 gal. tank you came up and bought from me!! Looking forward to watching you grow!

Shooting for BIG SAP, no whammies, BIG SAP.
Chris,
I have passed the 210 on to another sugarmaker that could use it more than me. It was too hard on my Ranger. As far as boiling capicity goes I would like to get a set of Max pans for my Rig. Then a steamaway. I need to be in a bigger sugar house before i can even think about an RO.
Matt,
you better get off the Trader and get to work!
It's tough when I am working on the computer, trader is right there taunting me.
Woods work coming up in a big way now. Going to set up my electric panel and meter box tomorrow night at the new pump house, got to do some shipping then I can afford to go in the woods and do some maple work and not feel like someone is at my house repo-ing something.
Starting to get out of the deep freeze we were in, so kinda feels more like outside type weather. I didn't mind working inside as much when it was seriously below zero.
I couldn't believe how much 5/16 has gone up. I was calling around getting prices. Yikes, should have bought more last year.
Gotta go back out in the barn and work some more. Wish my days ended at 5pm.
matt what is the price of 5/16 for 500'Quote:
