Now wiam - Your advice is good and as we both know - You can worry so much you never get around to boiling sap. Too Tall already said He is tapping 15 trees in 2013 and from experience I know he won't be competition for You yet. We can scare the Heck out of him later - right now he has to build up his confidence and make Maple. Heck - some Folks are allergic to Maple Syrup and gotta be careful not to put it on their pancakes - But----------Maple Syrup is Good ---LOL-- So lets encourage old Too Tall all we can. -------Mike-----
