You "work from your home office" every day that you think the sap will run. Your boss thinks that maybe you're having a "fling" but he doesn't know it's with a bunch of sap buckets.

Hey Russ, Sorry to go off topic a bit, but I've been meaning to ask for quite a while now...what's "boiling soda"?
Boiling soda's are beer's. Take a drink of your boiling soda to cleanse the pallet then drink a shot of hot syrup and chase that with the boiling soda. It's a combination that goes surprisingly well together. A boiling soda while fireing the evaporator helps to cool you down and quench your thirst. I can get quite parched when I am boiling.Hey Russ, Sorry to go off topic a bit, but I've been meaning to ask for quite a while now...what's "boiling soda"?
I came up with the term "Boiling Soda" because a friend of mine used to call them road soda's and I felt it appropriate.
