Hang in there Marty- I lost 5 relatives during a 6 month period one year-Started with my brother during March/Actually i was boiling when my wife came to the sugarhouse and gave me the news=end of the program for that day right there. Grandfather next month then and an uncle 2 weeks later-then a cousin a month later and my dad the first of August. Surely all will be missed.
Marty, I am sorry to hear about both of your losses and so close together. My prayers are for them and you and the rest of your family. Cancer is HORRIBLE. My wife is now going thru chemo after having a lumpectomy and having several lymph nodes removed. She just had her first chemo session yesterday (and it hit her like a ton of bricks) and has it every 2 weeks for 9 times followed by a few weeks of radiation. I sure hope she makes it thru this ordeal and has a long life after.

Dave Klish, I recently bought a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
Marty, it was such a pleasure talking maple with you the other day. My prayers are with you as well.

Thank you everbody for all the prays and loving support. Yes Cancer is a horrible thing. I keep telling myself something good will come out of this process.
I cleaned up the sugarhouse today and now I am sitting here wishing I was in VT at the open houses. Man this maple bug sure grabs onto you! I went riding around town today and just like Parker told me the maples are easy to spot since they are the only ones leafing out right now. Maybe a couple of prospects for next year!
