sigh back in the kitchen cooking again...have had about 60 calls to confirm we would be open saturday...was very pleasantly suprised to find I could make maple nuts with brade B syrup..they sugared up nicely...am now thinking I may try candy with some..if it works it will take alot of stress off....am running very short of med but have plenty of B and will probably make 25 gals tomorrow night...we will be turning the Beast loose to roar if anyone wants to join us...I have to admit that it is a pretty impressive sight...should fire it up around 730 or so..I have 1200 gals to RO after work first...and if we get lucky with a freeze tonight it could be more...oh well back to work...mustard next I guess...Brad, if you need anything at sunnyside let me know...heading up there on fri...I am totally out of jugs and jars and bags and...well pretty much everything lol

Chris, glad to hear everything's working out so well for you. How did you manage to get a spot on WMUR?

Did you end up getting a homesteaders license to make the non-maple stuff? Wondering how the process was to go through.

It looks like we'll get another week or so out of the season, not many freezing nights though.

Chris, it was nice to meet you on Sunday of Maple Weekend. I hope it all works for you and the new evaporator. It was good to see Mike working on the evaporator and not on my washing machine. Lol We made some maple mustard this week it was incredible. Again thanks Lee
