Well,,,that sun is getting stronger everyday,,thawing out my inner sugarmaker,,I have not been in any of my woods since august,,I am sure there is alot to do to get ready,,looks like Steve will be back helping this year which will make a world of diffrance,,,Got my head tanks and sugarhouse plowed out monday,,need to build covers for my head tanks and crib them up-connect them to the truck dumping line and the sugarhouse,,the airtight front is almost done-need to change over to the BIG blower,only have about 24 cords in the shed but about 30 outside in the snow, thinking I might be able to burn the frozen wet stuff with the new airtight front-blower set up? gotta reset the tank in Hill (which floated down the brook a littel),a whole lot to do,,,looking forward to it , gonna get going on the tanks on sat. then its off to the woods for repairs,,,add some in Hill hopefully,,,,,Good luck to everyone
