I talked to Patrick last night. He had done the first delivery near Cornwall
and was on his way to Marmora for #2 and going to spend the night there and
head this way in the morning.
If you see a red truck in a ditch with lots of shiny stuff in the back, give him a hand please. He should be going by you soon.
I am pretty far off the road that he would be taking. But glade to hear you are getting it soon you will need it Tuesday.
Through the worst blizzard of the year the shiny red sleigh, actually a shiny red pickup, with a trailer, arrived with a shiny new evaporator.
We unloaded it at work and left Patrick's truck there with it and he's come home with me tonight to look at my experimental RO etc. I'll try to make some nice pictures of it tomorrow while Patrick joins 387,212 people who waited till the storm passed to start their annual snowbird spring break trek to Florida. Good luck at the border.
Tomorrow night I'll bring it home and put it in the sugar shack, if I can. It was still very much wrapped up when we left it, but what I saw I liked.
That's great Brent! Hopefully Mother Nature will cooperate and give you some sap to run through it!
Good to hear that you got it just in time. I heard this week is going to be really good I’m going to go eat then check the weather and decide if I’m tapping tomorrow or not.
Ok so tomorrow id the day we tap I just looked at the weather and it looks like Tues - sat are BIGSAP day.
Ok I just got back from the bush I spent 8 hours and got 208 taps in. this was in 3.5 feet of snow luckily I bought a cheap pair of snowshoes from wall mart :) . But some of these trees I tapped after you drill the hole it was like a little river coming out of them.
So the question of the day is, how big are your ice cubes this morning ???
Still wondering if I should run out and tap for this week.
Hi Brent the real question is can you find your ice cubes in all that snow!
We were down in your neck of the woods on the weekend had to go to the airport. The drive was fun to say the least. I Hope you enjoy your new rig, all the best. Still waiting to tap here.
I don't know but I’m going back today to finish tapping so I can check but for the next week is looking really good so I would go and put your taps out when you have a chance.
