M couldn't wait last night to tell me about the PAIR of buckets on Twist Hill! Thanks Red Roof! She said they looked just like Grandpa and Grammy side by side in the yard. (We got a new granddaughter the other weekend.) I was already in a pretty good mood having fired up my H2O. The storage solution is a mild food preservative/antioxidant but I rinsed/washed/rinsed and then sent the rest of the unfrozen sap and the permeate tested 0 sugar. Man do I have a collection of ice scattered about the neighborhood. So the production line is all assembled and test fired, and now we're going to get SUGAR SNOW! The season is starting and I'm right on schedule. Guess I'll see how the market closes in Europe and then mosey on down to the The Maple Guys and watch the Governor drill a tree.
