    We have all been there...I have been with the same woman for 19 years and married to her for 10. I will never figure her out WOW!!! sometimes she's the best and sometime's she a nutcase go figure I gave up trying to figure her out. Women will make you crazy if you try to figure them out. as for friends they come and go!!! most of mine that I used to hang out with some turned out to be real dumbasses, 1 got busted for drugs, like 5 of them got arrested for stealing car stereos out of repossesed cars STUPID!!!! 1 is in jail for blowing stuff up and shot a guy in the back with a .22 down in florida.

    So anyway...now your back in school and the girls you haven't seen all summer are back in school too and you get to have the fun of trying some of those out for a test a drive so when your ready go for it man.

    now lets get back to maple huh!!!

    everyone all ready to go for the up and coming season!!!!!
    may your sap be at 3%

    Because our $1 coin has the picture of a Loon on it and being a gold colour silver dosn't work anymore. So Loonie it became. The $2 coin then became a Toonie because of that. Out French teacher actually comes from France abd he had never heard the term. He can't read many newspapers becasue they all mention it as a Loonie from day one.
    maybe 50 taps for 2011

    Some people say it's because there's a picture of one one both sides.

    Hanging mainline this week. At a demo this spring it was demonstrated to stretch the tubling while installing. As warm as it is I am a bit concerned about the line shrinking on cold winter nights and pulling off of fittings.
    Any thoughts on this?

    you would definintly have more experience at this one than me but all that I have read about it is yes your right. but again no experience here. I am not really going to tighten my new lines until colder but still get every thing else ready!!

    I pull my mainlines pretty tight - even if I put it up in July. Never had a problem with it pulling off the fittings if the clamps are tight.

    Not much happening here, Finally got all the wood stacked and covered.

    I picked up another Bender milk receiver, this one has a metal bottom with a side port and check valve.
    I have to clean it up and it should be good to go.

    Sunday I get to take a week off of everything, I am heading to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. We are going to hike from the North Rim to the South rim.
    Can't wait!!

    Okay just how do you get across the river when you hike from the north rim to the south rim. Make sure you take warm cloths also. When I was there in July it snowed on the north rim. Was some chilly then. I wondered why anybody went there in the winter after that trip.
