I was hoping to have my new sugar house started by now, but I haven'tTo busy with the other Honey Do List items, plus I still can't make up my mind how big to build it.

Been there done that, have the scars and the MRI to prove it!
We've been on vacation. We did some sugar house visiting early in the week. We stopped at Richard Pattersons and talked with Linda. Their super CDL store should be open in September. The next day we went to Sprauges in Portville NY. At first I just laughed. That place is incredible. Everyone should visit that place! They were filtering and canning. I was talking to someone for a while. It wasn't until after I realized it was Randy the owner.
My wife and I have been working on another treestand. I'm starting to feel old and needed something easier. I only need to put the door on and we'll be done. Today I'm going to start rebuilding my trailer. I need it in good shape to pick up the new evaporator in August.

Gary I knew you were getting a new sugarshack and wanted it closer to the trees, but come on man you don't tap them up in the canopy.Or are you going to use a sap ladder to get the sap up into that sugarshack.
It must be the angle but it looks a little smaller than it really is right!

This is of maple topic but I know there are a few supermodified fans here. If any of you guys have not been to Oswego Speedway yet this year I strongly suggest you make the trip. The new owners have truly made the BIG O an amazing speedway again. Renovations are never ending and last nights race was the best one I have seen in many many years and I have been saying that since the first race of the season. It just keeps getting better and better. 2nd groove has come in nice and now they are moving on up to a 3rd groove. 6 races and 6 different winners. 30 supers every week and they are now running 3 classes. Next week they strap the wings on. They dont call this place the fastest short track in the country for any old reason. Simply amazing to watch. There are so many competative cars in the field that the days of domination are over. Come on out guys I will save you a seat.

I tried to cut some wood today but couldn't get my chain saw to start.It's a Sthill (spell check) and the spark plugs wet and it has spark but no roooooooom. Wore my hurt arm out trying to get it going.
I can just see how this summer is going to go.Me trying to carry logs with one arm and cut them up. Walked the woods and they are starting to dry up finally.

2011_Expo_-cov-600x440.jpg[ Trust me real race cars do indeed have wings. The track is a 5/8 mile. When these guys run without the wing they are burning 16.5 to 17 second laps. With the wing they are about 30 mph faster than that in the corners. We have had many nascar cup drivers and some indy drivers come out and they all said except Johny Benson that these guys are absolutely nuts running the speeds they do. These guys are running 468 big blocks and on the low end of the field 860 hp and over 900 hp. If you are a race fan you would be sitting in amazement watching these guys 3 wide with a full field of 24 cars on this track. It is indeed a fun way to spend a saturday night with friends and family.
