    Default who is going and where are you staying

    As of tonight Kevin Sargent, Thad, Allgreen and myself are set to go the 4th. Would like to thank 3rd gen for the offering of his spare bedrooms for us to stay in. After the Saturday conference I think we all might go to 3rd's sugar house and do a test fire of his evaporator with his new AOF system. With the knowledge of Kevin and Thad running the operation and me and John firing it, I think we will blow the roof of the shack. If any one else would like to join contact one of us.

    Actually $89 per night, 2 nights. At Vernon Downs. With 4 of us staying it is only $22.50 per night plus you get the breakfast in the morning. Sounds cheap to me. Just to mess with Flat Lander I told him I booked a 1 King bed room. He could play monkey in the middle.

    Don't have too much breakfast before arriving at the show. They have breakfast, includes REAL maple syrup. If anyone is looking for a place to stay, someone can use our spare bedroom, 1 queen size bed, no charge. Send me a PM if interested. I live in Oneida, about 10 minutes from the show.

    Dave Klish, I recently ordered 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.
