I'm going to be working in the NHMPA sugarhouse at the Hopkinton Fair on Monday from 11 to 3. Parker if you are going to the fair on Monday stop by and say hi.
I'm on the hunt for some bulk syrup today. I am just about sold out. I made more syrup than ever before last season and sold out faster too. The bad economy didn't hurt my sales at all.

Not too much maple going on for this backyarder. I parked the sugarshack out back the other day. I'm going to clean some tops up where I thinned around some sugars.
Dave, That's a bummer. Since PA went to International BOCA codes a few years ago, it's hard to get away with anything. They may require inspection of every phase of construction.
3rd Gen, Have you consultated an attorney? I'd think it's strange the surface landowner could not drive on the land. I'm looking forward to hearing how fall tapping goes!

Well it's a nice day and ready for wood hauling after I go to the post office and library and if she who must be obeyed feels like it.
School has been busy and I can almost say a 4 word sentenace in French. I am the only english speaking person in class as the rest come from Columbia and speak spanish. I am learning that faster then french.
I really need to get going on other maple stuff other then wood but after thinking all day am tired of thinking for the day lately.

Started working on my extra wood for if all hell breaks loose next season. I'm getting some pine and poplar from a friend of mine, some standing dead, some not and should total about 3 chord. Do you guys think the green pine and poplar will be dry for this coming season? I'll have it cut/split/stacked/covered this week. How will the poplar burn...any better than the pine becuase it's a hardwood?
The VFD came in for my LR pump...I need it to convert from single phase to 3 phase. Should have it up and running some time this week to see how it works.
Like Russ, also out of syrup...again. Trying to find some in bulk so I can stock up my shelves.

Well this week we made up for lost time. The yard is full of wood right now. Have to haul in a bunch more tomorrow and then maybe cut some more to stove lengths and we will be done. Had a good couple of days this weekend and it being a long weekend I have one more full day to put in.
After the woods done I can think of Maple projects again. Actually have enough in for the year but there's so much more cut and laying on the ground that I want to get into the yard.
