Having the Mapleaholics meeting here at Red Roof Maples on this coming Saturday the 15th at 8 am sounds good to me. Bring your mainline/tubing tools and some water proof boots. If you have a 4 wheeler bring that too.

Got deer?
Well Chris, I've got a few day's off next week. I'm coming to Albion to shoot one. It will be nice to be home.
136 on high vacuum for 2019
A&A 2X8, raised flue evaporator
hood, parallel flow pre heater and air over fire
12X28 sugar shack
well just finished up packing away 291/4 pounds of venison burger ....yippie
Finally got the storm damage cleaned up today. I brought in 2+ cords of beech and apple for next year, and my son and I cut all the trees off of the mainlines in the big bush. Took yesterday off, other than delivering syrup, and spent the day with my wife shopping. She's getting used to my weekly stops at Lowes for mainline and fittings.
Gary,
Hope you were sucessful at the deer hunting in the Albion area.
Sorry I nmissed you Sunday night. Cheryl and I were out to dinner.
I did get to go to local turkey shoot today with son (Eric) and grandson (Nic) they each won a turkey. The old Winchester moldel 1897, 16 gauge pump, I was using just doesn't pack as many BB's on the paper as those new 12 gauges
I did get the snow fence up and there is a toasty wood fire in the furnace.
We had a fun day at Ausbury Woods telling wood be sugarmakers the story of watching water (sap) boil and getting to play with fire. A dozen folks came to the class and seemed to have a good time.
I did have a minor set back when I tried to jump a boulder along the driveway at Asbury. There may be pictures of the "Chrysler on the Rock" coming. One lady asked how I parked on top of that rock. If Jim Bortles would have been there he would have said S_ _ T happens! :p No seroius damage, not even my pride. I laughed as much as the rest of the folks. The real question was how many sugarmakers does it take to get a 97 Chrysler pushed off of a boulder. Answer about 6!

I spent yesterday working on more wood for the sugarhouse and some things in the sugarhouse like filling some cracks in the floor and also put up a tree trunk for demo taps in the sugarhouse. no more spouts and buckets hung on the wall.

Hi Russ,
Just got off the phone with NHMaplemaker.
He may try to move his schedule around so that he can ride down with me for the MA meeting.
I won't know for sure until like Thursday or Friday night.
You won't know for sure till I drive in, or I can PM you when I find out!!
Everyone that is going to come should be wearing red or preferrably orange that day!!
Tis the season to hunt the ellusive white tail!!!!!
