Four generations of our family. I am the old fart if you didnt know!


Maple season is almost here! I know I am not on here much, well not as much as 10 years ago. Anyway things keep moving along.
I had a reason to hang up some tubing today. So my friend Gerry came out and we visited, solved all the worlds problems, and hung up short run gravity tubing for 400 taps. About 2/3 of my sugarbush. The main reason was to get the tubing out of storage to provide some room for the electrician (Grandson) to complete rough wiring in the shop.
We are really only a month away from our typical sugaring season anyway, so its just getting a little jump on things. And being a year older I dont move as fast as I used to either! I also pulled out my sap tank for the truck and have it in clean mode.
The shop has pretty much consumed mass quantities of time and funds this year. With the help of my two sons Eric and Adam we were able to get it dried in this fall.
Some shots to bring you up to date:
