    Yearly check for cancer this morning came back in my favor. Another year to enjoy!

    That's awesome. I am really glad I did the sugaring thing when I did, because from here on out I don't know if I can take being healthy enough for it for granted.

    Starting in the woods tomorrow with the 3/16 tubing. I already love it because it weighs so little and will be much easier to hump up the mountain. Trees are turning here and the geese are flying south.

    Only a couple hundred for now, all new taps. Working my way up to 5,000 taps. You want to come up from WV and help?

    I've thinking of getting the Hot End too but someone told me about leaks because of the glycerine, think I will get one for my retirement gift to myself.
