theron go for every tree you can drill a hole in before someone else gets the bug and beats you too it.

Mike- Dads on board. He just thinks Im nuts tapping all these trees. I really have to get a new bunch of pics for you guys. I dont have any of the tanker. Ill do a whole bunch of them this fall. Ive got a ton of different stuff I can get pics of. You guys would laugh. Every night another section of black mainline goes in the air heading away from the house. My neighbors dont know what to think. Ive got it going up the road, up the hedgerows and right behind the house it just insane, theres mainline going everywhere. Its great. Im going to get dad a ten inch filter press and everything will be fine. Theron

I stopped at Theron's this summer. I think the tanker is now about 100ft from his house (where you sleep). Right near the swimming pool (over flow catch basin). He must have the best wife in the world

[Dennis H.]

You Gary I ever thought about him using the pool as an overflow, What do you think that holds 8-10000 gals??

Maybe he will use the pool as the sap tank and the tanker for his concentrated sap holding tank to feed the evap.

Theron I don't care what anyone thinks you are an inspiration for all of use here on the Trader.

I wonder if maple has some kind of drug in it. Maple guys keep doing weird things and thinking it's normal. What normal person would work 30 hours a day with trees and say it made sense.

MAYDAY! WARNING!! BIGSAP ALLERT!!! BIGSAP ALERT!!! This is not a test. This is first BIGSAP ALERT for the 1010 season. Accuweather (feel good weather) is calling for 40s and 20s four days straight starting on January 21st week after next for northeastern Pa. This could be serious and Im not even ready. Dont drop the ball like I have. Clean the tanks, ready the pumps, get ready for BIGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!! SAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Theron

[KenWP]

I really think you need to take your Lithium more regular. It's only January and your tapping already. Owell hopefully you get a few cupfulls of sap and then you will calm down untill march.

NOW THAT'S A THOUGHT. Assemble the Intek pool over at the sugar house. 12000 gallons of holding tank...pump and filter included!

Ken down here we do tap this early well not Mid Jan but buy the end of Jan it will be go time. Last year I tapped in the 1st few days of Feb.

With the freeze up we have had it will take longer than normal for the trees to get going. It has been the longest cold spell that we have had in a long time.
