For the first three years of high school, I busted hump - took all the accelerated courses, filled my schedule. By senior year I realized I only needed a small handful of required courses left to take to graduate. So I took them. And nothing else. I didn't take home any homework that year cuz I got it all done during my free periods. No regrets.

Gator,
a N.Y. cord is a face cord. The length of your wood x8x4. Many time I have heard folks north of the border talk about how many cord of wood they have, and when truth be know they are talking face cords not 4x4x8 cords.

Did mine in 3 years and had one class in the senior year, they let me come in for that one class.

Just finished the stainless base stack for neighbors arch. Its 6 foot high and is for 10 inch smoke stack. Took part of Sat. afternoon to do the lay out and then we put it together Sunday after noon . Keith was happy and its going to work well. One mor step closer for him to make syrup. He did find someone to make his pans too. So maybe with some luck it will come together for him.

Went up to New Hampshire this morning did a little syrup transaction. Bottled some this afternoon for delivery later in the week. Tomorrow I go in for another biopsy. Weather looks cold and snowy for a week so I'll have a chance to recoop . Driving through the Berkshires today it looked like a tornado had gone through the trees from the ice a couple weeks back.

Here we go again, another ice storm coming.

The weatherman is telling us that we can expect 1/4-1/2" of ice over night, great. I hope it isn't as bad as they are saying. I also hope that it gets nowhere near the northeast, you all have had enough already.

I just wish we would get snow and only snow, this mixed bag of crap is for the birds.

Mountainvan,
Hope all turns out good for you!!
Where in New Hampshire did you go?

Dennis H.,
Yeah I don't like that ice stuff either, causes way too much damage.
Rather drive in 12" of snow than icy conditions.
Looks like we're in for up to 8" tomorrow and tomorrow night, could be a mix around the coast, which is typical, doesn't look like to much mix here.
Going to work in the sugarhouse tomorrow, not going anywhere!!
