2011 season at Morningstar Farm

[morningstarfarm]

Well, it looks like another season is just around the corner...This year has gone by sooo fast...Started working in the shack this week. Man I still have a ton to get done! Also finally found the time to walk the tubing lines...or where they were anyways...MOOSE tracks all over the place and my lines were all destroyed...guess this weekend I have to go out and try to salvage what I can and start re-running everything...Hopefully, I'll make a dent in the list tomorrow during the snow storm...Hope everyone else is having better luck than me this season lol

I doubt if you will be able to stop over tomorrow but I will be around thursday and friday If you are still interested. Are you still going to bascom's next week?? IF you are would you mind picking up 20 more leader Check valves and stubbies? I must have miscounted or just under estimated how many I would need.

Chris,

Have you ever seen the hundreds of four bucket full-crown sugar maples on Maple Street in neighboring Atkinson. The street begins on the right side of Rt 121 and heads north for about 2.5 miles. Probably only need one permission from the Board of Selectman to tap the trees lining both sides of the street.

I filled thousands of purchase orders for Process Engineering, Plaistow over 28 years. Retired from the sandblasting business at the same time they folded. It's funny how Maple Street in Plaistow has zero or few maples.

That has to be a pretty street to drive, any time of the year. The main street of Campton used to be that way before the road salt claimed all of the maples but our main street is less than a half mile long. 2 1/2 miles, I've got to see that sometime.

It is pretty cool... kind of funny..in Plaistow maple street is all elms and elm st is mostly maples....go figure

well, made the most of the snow day...mounted the new head tank, rebuilt the gathering sled for behind my snowmobile...reworked the gathering trailer for the gator...mounted new storage tanks outside...al in all a good day. Unfortunately, it took me all day today to get the farm dug out..well, at least I made a little dent in the list anyways...

Oh and Brad, no problem will pick up the stubbys at Bascoms for you

I can't begin to understand the rational behind naming streets that way. We had a guy around here years ago that happened to tap an Elm, thinking it was a maple and even when people pointed it out to him he still insisted it was a maple. Maybe some of his relatives lived in Atkinson.

OK ...ENOUGH WITH THE SNOW ALREADY!!!!.....ok thats out of my system..sitting here watching the snow pile up...watching the weather...am I imagining or does it look like a 4 day window friday through monday???I just might have to tunnel out and tap a few...I won't be able to stand myself...
