    I talked to kevin tonight. He said if we want to put a group together he'd take us up on it. I can go when ever.

    Anyone is welcome to come, at any skill level. More people the better. There's some tanks he needs to move around at the sugarhouse and stuff like that. Setting up his evaporator. Some drilling, tapping. And cutting in drops on some tubing.

    I'm up for anyday. He mentioned the weekend. I'm not sure if it would work for anyone this weekend. If so let's get a concensus and make a plan. I'll probably spend the night, either at kevins or Russ's to break up the drive. Kevin said he can make room for 3-4 people at his house if you want to stay.

    Matt,
    Looks like we got a storm coming Friday night into Saturday, so I'd say this weekend is not good.
    Let's give Kevin some time to get back a bit before we overwhelm him.
    I think next weekend would be good, you know the 15th.
    On another note check "Tapped In Newport"
    Let me know, I'll be there!!

    Hi Guys- I'm up about every Hour like in the hospital so i decided to tune in and see what's been posted. Thanks for all the replys for help and such. I could barely move under my own power last night but am starting to feel better that i'm off the IV bag feedings and putting some real food into my stomache since yesterday morning.(About a small cup cake and i was full) I lost 14.2 Lbs of weight in the hospital=Around 13+% body weight.

    Things are going to start coming uphill fast with some eggs and bacon for breakfast coming up this morning and real meals to continue after that////No Chinese buffet's for a while.

    I am scheduled to go back to work next Fri, Sat, Sun And Mon which will put me back into my normal rotation at work=although i would'nt be able to probably be at the sugarhouse for an Hour or so each day=If it was decided to form a crew that weekend?-what ever day help shows up there probably would be something to do. I can however be there this weekend.

    I gave matt a kinda rundown of what Misc. tubing stuff that needs to be snuffed up in the woods and tapping and moving a few tanks around at the SH. I'll make him up a list anyways so there is a plan of attack.

    Thanks for your time,
    Kevin

    Governor it is good to have you back. Don't over do it and end up back in the hospital. We miss your words of wisdom around here.

    Matt you are welcome to stay here Friday and Saturday night if you want. Of course that will depend on the BIGSAP and if you have to be home to boil. I agree with Dave the 15th will give the Governor more time to get his strength back and the weather looks bad for this Saturday. There will still be plenty of season left after that so he can get some syrup made and listen to that RO hum.
