[Russell Lampron]

Russ;was there this morning as well, went with some friends and helped them load up there new 6x10 Max pan and 3-2x6 cross flow pans and a bunch of supplies.Sun was nice but the breeze was cold strapping everything down up on their hill.Was busy with everyone loading up on supplies.Got the flue pan on the arch when we got back...heavy. Good luck with this season!

I got there at 8:45 and was on my way back home at 9:30. One of the fastest visits to Bascom's that I've ever had.

6x16's are impressive. I could put 8 of my 2x6's in it!

The guy buying syrup said that he thought it was going to be an early season. My extended forecast looks cold for the next 15 days which puts me at a normal mid February start. What do you guys think?

You guys have a good season too!

You did good getting in and out that fast on a Saturday morning Russ. As far as as season goes, I think that there is still a lot of winter left. Many years we don’t get a lot of snow until February and March, then we end up with a lot of it. Days are still short and Sun is low in the sky.

I'm still planning on tapping President's Day weekend as usual. For now, just tinkering in the sugarhouse and woods getting things ready.

[Russell Lampron]

I'm planning to do my last walk through the woods before tapping this Sunday and planning to tap Presidents Day weekend. If it's still too cold then I'll wait one more weekend. I'm not thinking that it's going to be an early season.

Looking at the 10 day I agree with you Russell. How many taps do you have? I was curious.

Good luck this year!!

I'm thinking that , I'd like to be tapped in by the last week of February, I'm in a cold spot here and always finish up around April 15th, last year my last boil was the 23rd.

Good luck this year!!

I have 725 taps. How many do you have?

Good luck to you too.

Hi Russell, I'll have about 300. I hope :-) I still have 1 line to run, but my ice fishing is getting in the way of me finishing it. I'll get it done, just was hoping to be finished by now. Never enough time in the day.

I haven't stated my thread yet. but figured I would check and see how everyone is doing. I have been in the woods. lots to do. it was warm today and will be tomorrow but after the temps we just had its gonna take several days of this weather to get things thawed enough to get things to move and the ground is very frozen under what little snow we have down here. even though its warm still pretty chilly in my woods. sun getting higher but not quite high enough yet.

Good to see your ups far out weighing your downs. Lots of good things for you.

Not the most exciting of games for the super bowl but good to see the pats come out on top. not a real fan of the defensive games I prefer the game against the Chiefs although it was a little rough on the ticker!!!

Good luck this season. looks like after this little february thaw things are gonna freeze right back up I think I will be start tapping next weekend.

9th and 10th. I will be in the woods every afternoon this week getting things fixed up and tighted up. Can't really trust the forecasts they change daily.
