Cleaned up the woods a little today. Hopefully I'll finish this weekend. Its all junk for the wood furnace. I plan on running my mainline this weekend and after school this week. One of my friends is going to help me because he wants to learn how and then I'm going to help him put a few lines up at his house this winter.
Deer hunting today off and on. Saw a couple of button bucks that I let pass by unharmed. Toes are froze!
Maple related:
I did get all the pans and hoods set back on the arch last night.
Broke a handle off one of the valves inside the WRU.:( ball is still stuck, stem broke off) Not sure if I will just leave it or cut it out and replace. Not in a great spot to work on. I realized some valves have a very small stems compared to others that I used. The WRU will function I just wont be able to try running in a parallel flow through the WRU.
Hope things are good in all of maple land!

For someone living in Eastern Ontario that statement sounds both very cool and very unusual. I tend to associate sugar bush with (land) farming and/or a day job but maple syrup and lobster or crab? Sounds to me like you have really good eating at your place. I don't suppose you run a chocolate factory part-time also? :DQuote:

Did not do much maple stuff today, had to go get the tree for xmas.
I do now have all the pieces needed to setup my filterpress.
Fisher, martin or coyotes would be my guess. Having 3 enviromentalist in the family coydog does not exist according to them. They say a coydog is rumored to be a domestic dog that bred with a coyote and hence the name coydog. From what they tell me Domestic dogs do not breed with coyotes ever and a wild, once domestic dog is often called a coydog thinking that it is the offspring of the 2.Quote:

They are coyotes, but they say that they are the biggest coyotes in the world here in Maine. Since we don't have wolves they are evolving into their spot. They got bigger and bigger as they came east I guess. Eventually the wolves will show up and take back over their niche. They say the only thing that causes a signifigant drop in coyotes numbers is when wolves show up. They have such a high reprocuction rate that they will make up for hunting them if the pickings are good. We hear them around here all the time, and there are lots of people who do coyote hunting around here.
I hope they don't bite my mainlines, or I'll start hunting them too!
Jeremy, sounds like they are after something in the pipe. My question is did you clean your tubing system and if so what did you use that they woould want to get at. Salt or any form of it in the pipes will make them bite at it along with squirrels and other critters.
Revi, had a cyote here last winter and spring that was the size of a german sheperd. He found out about lead poisoning.
