    A silent female partner is a oxymoron. Sort of like a good mother in law. I was too busy working as a kid also and never had time for fun. I got old and don't have the energy for fun now. Might as well have some childhood memorys.

    Finally ready to boil when I get enough sap
    I just might be crazy.( make that I know I am)
    Trees all tapped except the ones with 5 feet of snow.
    Enough rabbits to keep Elmer busy..

    That's bad.
    We got some snow today and it's supposed to return to Quebec weather. So 4 more weeks of weather and then away we go. Another fun year of hauling buckets,watching wood burn and trying to figure out how to get everything done in a few weeks. Now if I can find everything I need this weekend I will be ready.

    All my lines are repaired and everything is ready to go. Just waiting for tapping time. I built a nice bathroom house to match my building and got a nice 5 gallon flushing RV potty off of ebay so the ladies will have a nice bathroom for this season and not have to go somewhere else. Built to to match my building, so it should look pretty nice sitting on lower corner of my lot. Just need to finish up the door on it and get it outside and it will be ready to go.

    Looks like another couple of weeks here. 10 day forecast shows all cold and warmest day is 36. Hopefully it will hold like this for a couple of more weeks which will get it to middle of Feb.
