    It was a great time helping my mentor out yesterday. I’m from his neck of the woods, I forgot just how much poison ivy there is up there. I boiled a few days ago and we’re boiling 200 gallons right now. Should make syrup in an hour or so.

    I tapped yesterda. 12 in my woods and 4 in the neighbor's yard. Checked buckets this evening and most were 1/4 to 1/3 full. While I was checking buckets, a deer came out of nowhere and almost ran me over.

    Z/MAN, Skeller, Folks,
    Thanks on the sugarhouse. it works but has been several years getting it tuned in. Have rebuilt the arch a couple years ago an it works well with some basic upgrades like AOF.
    Picture? Well I dont use photobucket any more. I use a software called imgur to hold my resized photos. I have about 8,000 + of them. I use a Android to take the pictures, then resize them to 800 x 400 ish pixel using Photo Resizer app. It is a bunch of work but most of the time they post up easy and are pretty good quality for these forums. There are many other ways to accomplish the same thing I am sure!
    Regards,
    Chris
