Local suppliers

ok good. Looks like you got a lot more snow Sunday morning than we did.

LOL... far more than I wanted or expected.

Did anyone make it out to Jamison-Campbell Feed's maple open house?

Your impressions?

[BryanEx]

Given that I don't know of any other place in my local area where I can touch, feel, or otherwise poke at maple equipment in real life I'll say it was great. That being said... they either got a late start or under-estimated set up time because they weren't ready when I got there nor when I left around 10:30. It was apparent they had lots planned but I think I missed much of it. Perhaps cheesegenie was there closer to noon and had a better showing. I do hope they make it an annual event but next time I will plan on showing up later when things are in full swing.

I will agree with Bryan, was great. We never have anything like this around here, so a thumbs up to the boys at Jamieson's. I got there around 10:30
or so and stayed until noon. Enjoyed looking at everything running into a few buddies, and the free hamburger and drink topped it off. That evaporator
that was running would be too big for me, $20,000. , would turn a hobby into
a job. Looked for you Bryan, no luck, some guys must have wondered why I was looking at them. Maybe next year.

I too was there between 10:00 to 12:00. I agree they seam to be a little disorganized. I did manage to pick up a shinny new bottler, syrup bottles and a few accessories. All in all a good day though.. Look forward to next year, they will most likely have some of the bugs sorted out..

LOL... yep. I came to find out you are not the only one that wears a Cat hat. I now have a new acquaintance from Apple Hill.

Look forward to next year, they will most likely have some of the bugs sorted out..

Did they say they were planning on making it an annual event? I sure hope so because the timing would be perfect for me and seeing all the stuff "for real" really helps with planning my maple business (even if I had to pass on that large RO system they had).

[cheesegenie]

That is funny. I didn't hear anything about next year, but maybe.

Rockwood, A liitle off topic but is that car in your avatar a cutless, skylark or...

[Rockwood]

It's a Canadian 66 chevelle.. 350 small block 450 plus hp, not a stock thing under the hood, th350, olds 373 read end, headers on back are 3" exhaust, front dish brakes. I rescued it from the wrecker some 30 plus years ago.

Drag raced for 6 years, then rebuilt 19 years ago.

It's now showing it's age again, time to do another frame off or sell..

I was just at a new supplier near casselman (near Ottawa) and he has a nice selection. He has a 2x4, 2x6 and a 2x8 on display ready for purchase.

He is a super nice guy, i told him i would pass on his name to the trader. So mention my name if you would. (i was close to buying that 2x6 )
