Other than needing a new 20V drill, ready to rumble here in Kent
Still waiting on a delivery of 3/16 tubing and taps from CDL. Figured this year I will make my 100ft of elevation change do the work for me. Worried my diy evaporator (that's not built yet) might get swamped with more sap than it can boil.
Weather has been perfect lately tho.
I think I could. New arch and evaporator are bricked and ready to go. Going to give it a test boil tomorrow. New milk tank in place and just needs another cleaning. Lines and buckets all set to go.
Still thinking about how to cool my milk tank. Can't find a refrigeration guy that's interested in getting it back up and cooling. Seriously considering calling it with a water chiller unit. Its either that or frozen blocks of sap. On the fence....
I am absolutely ready to go. Just finished putting up 107 taps on 3/16th tubing, cleaned the shack and equipment, got supplies,set collection tanks and got wood stacked at the shack all I need is the right weather and I'm a go. I have 40 taps on one hill I will tap for fall/late winter to make some early syrup. I will probably tap those trees in two weeks and hope to run them until second week of January, then a 2-3 week break and all in for regular season. It' on baby!
A good day of cleaning equipment I'd be ready.
Nope...not even at gunpoint....
100% ready to go right now, although I am hoping the season doesn't start this year until it is supposed to. I'd like to get a little ice fishing in this winter.
I am ready to go. I have a feeling we may see sap flow for a week this January. I bought my spouts already because I was told they are selling fast right now. Good luck everyone.
Spud
Ready to go??
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
HEHEHEHE!
HOHOHOHO!!
Noticed yesterday a big ole fat tree came down on one of the mains.
Been meaning to replace that little 100’ stretch anyway.
Need to repair a tank.
Some electronics to fool around with.
See if’n I can’t get the RO to quit leaking.
Wood to split yet, always the wood.
But I am closer than I’ve ever been at this point.
First snow of the season today. The workers and I finally made it in the woods to start running the 3/16 tubing.
