Worked in the bush across the road all weekend. Few more taps than I thought. Some awefull nice trees on the bank with two taps in them. Should help the averages witht the cull trees. Bush is real neat allmost straight up and down in some spots. It was hard to run the laterals but with them in you can kind of help yourself get around holding on to them. Beautifull woods. Now Ive got to get the saddles in and do a few mainline connections and finetuning and hopefully done thursday. May have a neat deal worked with a guy on a tanker trailer. He has a 6200 gallon tanker trailer he doesnt use and he wants to hay my fields. I told him he lets me use the trailer Ill let him hay even swap. Hes thinkin about it. If that happens thats going to take a lot of pressure off me. I wont have to take quite as much time off work. Have to wait and see what happens. Hopefully All the tubing complete this week and then I can start on the next batch this next month. Im thinking if season holds off I can get maybe another 400 on the high vac. My dad is starting to wonder If theres something wrong with me. He can sense the BIGSAP I think. Theron

sapman- I'll have to catch up and see your set-up next time in syracuse...when I drive around this area there seems to be just a ton of stands with really nice looking sugar maples untapped...driving down I-81 the other day near cortland it looked like some huge hillsides with nothing but sugars and a perfect pitch, etc...hard to say when your passing at 65 mph but man it looked pretty nice...

tucker,
I know what you're talking about. I notice those hills every time I go through there. There are some procucers in that area, of course, but still, so many acres of virgin forest.
You're welcome to stop by anytime!

Swung a little deal yesterday for some BIGSAP storage. 6200 gallon semi trailer. OH YEAH, BABY! THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT!!!! That should take a little pressure off. Farmer wanted to hay my fields and he has a nice trailer from when he hauled milk. I told him he hays the fields but he has to park his trailer at my house. No prob he said. Best deal Ive ever swung and he keeps the grass cut so we can payback woodchucks. Cant beat it. Gonna put a BIGSAP sign on it for Parker. Pictures in a month. Theron

And I thought strapping 4, 275 gallon totes to the back of my Ford 550 was going to be "BIG SAP" capacity.

I was back in the bush yesterday afternoon, I installed about a 100 more droplines. I have about 100 more to go. Then it is back though everything to pick up the stranded trees and finish tying off the main lines and that will be done. I went to tractor supply last night and picked up an extra portable pump and a 425 tank for my pickup. Now I will have two trucks to gather with.

Well started getting frustrated that my arch board hadn't been delivered yet called and got a tracking # and found out it was delivered on the 17th of Dec.
Well no box at my house ! I live on a main RD how much you wanna bet that just after UPS left it on my front porch so close to Christmas that someone thought they scored on a good gift being delivered and stole it !! I actually have to laugh thinking when they opened it they said..... what the heck is this stuff???. but I'm n ot laughing thinking there's a thief taking parcels....
Well they will redeliver and ask for a signature this time. still I was hoping I would be bricking by now!!! grrrrrrrr.
