    Boy, it took awhile John! The damage the squirrels did this year was unbelievable! I’m thinking I must have Ohio’s entire squirrel population on my property!

    I have a ton of squirrels, it seems some dont care about tubing at all, but others, seem down right angry about it. it's always the same few trees/sections. I may have to put a bounty out for them.

    Think the trees “woke” up today and are expecting a good run the next 48 hours
    Should be exciting

    Thinking you’re right Kevin. Spent today in the sugar house doing final setup and running a tank full of hot water through the head tank and pans. All systems are now go. With the 170 in back woods online, now just need to tap the 125 or so in our north woods area.
    Decided that I’m going to sell the air injection system and will put in classifieds later. It makes great light syrup but is too noisy for me. Besides they don’t give extra points for light contest syrup anymore???
