Well here we go again, more snow.

We got hit hard on Friday night with 18" of snow and now we are to get about 12-14" tonight and Wed. Oh yeah!!

The temps have been way below normal for us down here. We are normally in the high 30's right now and the next 7 days don't look like we are to get much above freezing.

I did re bottle the last gal of syrup from last year and sold some yeaterday.
I made some really like syrup from the run that I had in Jan. I am going to save that and maybe enter that at local county fair this year and maybe at the PA Farm Show next Jan, I think it would look good in glass.

Other than that just waiting!

"missed first half of the super bowl, i was told the half time show wasnt that good any way,"


How dare you - I would say this may be an over/under 40 thing. Those over 40 loved it, those under 40 would rather have had Fergie. Maybe over/under 30? One can only hope. 40 is in my rear view mirror

Well fergie is ALOT hotter than the who

I am a Madonna fan or who knows who as I listen to old old stuff.
So who else has cabine fever. Everybody at school keeps asking when I start the cabana d'sucre. They are starting to get on my nerves. Not that i am near ready yet. But what's left isn't too bad. A lot of washing and such.

OK I bit the bullet and put the preheater. drip tray system on the 3 x 10 and mounted the hoods drains and the stacks. A good scrub and rinse and we will be ready to make syrup! Also built a couple more pieces for th WRU which I will move out from in front of the arch as soon as the weather breaks.
Man everything costs so much no days!

Good luck as the season opens up for 2010. It should not be that far away!

Jim Bortles, Do you have all that new tubing up?
GaryR lets rock the BAT mobile! I love that machine. Yes folks doors are a option
Jim Brown are you moving in to the "new" sugar house next door.
Dave Y, How many coats of wax do you have on the Force 5?
Brandon just buy the steamaway you know you want one! Much easier than building one too. That's the voice of experience speaking
Boyd, I know you out there. Do you have a float system that you want to sell?
Tappin and Sappin get Greg going on that pan, it syrup time! How many taps on tubing this year? Should save on the back!

OK so I am a little wound up tonight. See YAaaaaaa!

Chris

Chris,
I replaced the 3/4" line from the driveway to the sugar house with 1", finished up the wood last week, and a few things to tweek the next couple of evenings. Saturday I'm going to start tubing that piece of woods. See how far I get.
