After wrapping up Deer season with two of my brothers on Saturday, I went to the woods yesterday and put in an 8 hr day. Installed over 150 drops and then tied off 800 ft of 3/4 line. Wore out two labs and then went home and watched the Steeler/Ravens game. Not a bad day.
had a snow day on friday, slep in woke up at about 8 and warmed up the old deere and headed into the woods. put up abunch of wire and about 150ft of 3/4" and 100ft of 1/2", ran out of wire ties and main line wire,. i have to go down to NY and go look at my evap and pick it up. ITs an older grim arch with (4x12) with an 8ft stainless raised flue and 4ft stainless syrup pan. for 4500. guy says the pans dont appear to have seen much sap at all. Do you guys think its a good deal, oh also he has ordered a complete new stack for it included in the price. Also there is a 3 1/2 x 14 on craigslist. isnt 14' too long for only a 3 1/2 ft arch????????????????? i thought the smallest width u could go for 14' was 4x14 with out loosing efficientsy its 3500 w stainless pans and 3 cross flows wich is better???????????
i think its funny all you guys who are gunna try to sugar until your 99 im 16 and am already sugaring and plan to start a dairy farm and sugar when i finish high school and collage so how long do you think i will last for? 35 40? maybe 45 befor im shot completely. HAHAHA
they say sugaring really starts at 50
If you are completely Shot at 45 you have done some mighty hard living. And I have And I can out last any of the young bucks that help with my operation.
Dont sell your self short
well i think i will go for a while as long as possable or until i fall over dead.:p
I can keep up with my uncle in his sugar bush and run right around in deepsnow and up hills. i may be a small kid but im pretty rugged. Theres only 1 kid i know that can ram and jam through the woods like me and hes a farmer to. i can handle my ol' 61 husky saw pretty well i might need to if this wind keeps up, It blew my grill over today and is shaking signs and the telophone wires some thing feirce. i wouldnt doubt it if 1 of those 3-4ft maples in my bush desided they had lived long enough!
Guys- What does this dream mean to you? Last night I woke up screaming and swearing from a dead sleep and I can remember the nightmare vividly. I had a bulktank buried in the ground and it had gravity line running into it and I went out the next day and it was full and running over. My first thought was it was ground water running into it but it was sap and it was running right over the top. Thats when the screaming and swearing began. Also and this is no joke about a week ago I had a dream that Marmaduke was running around and he had a 7/16 spile and drop sticking out of him. Does this mean its going to be a real good season or does it mean that I need some kind of intervention or a psychiatric evaluation of some kind? Theron
There must be something you can do in the sugarhouse to relieve the fear!! it's only a few months ... go sit in a chair and stare at the stainless.....hey theres plenty to do up here!!!too tired to dream!
Jim- I have a ton to do too. I think I drank too much coffee last night before I went to bed. I think it means we are going to have a humdinger banner season. Im an optimist and thats how Im reading it. I think were having the best season in years. BIGSAP EVERYWHERE!!!!! Theron
