Making maple syrup sounds really cool. But, it sounds like a ton of work and expense. WNY, did you go through all that effort for just a gallon of syrup? I'm guessing there must be significant costs to get started, no?

Plenty of deer in my area of 4F.

He's not lying about there being plenty of deer and turkey in the area.

Pretty sure I'm gonna go with the 200 amp service and the electric tankless. I prefer not to have to deal with draining a tank every time and would rather not have a gas tank either. I know that the electric is less efficient. But, I think it'll be worth it. Does anyone know what the average temperature of well water might be in the winter?

Wildcat- the 45 degree rise was not the unit's max. That was just showing the flow rate of 4gpm at that temp rise. I found more information. The spec sheet says that you can expect 105degree output at 2.6gpm with water incoming at 42degrees. I don't know what the well temp will be in my area in the winter. But, if it's as cold as 42degrees, it seems that I should be able to expect a 105degree shower at 2.6gpm. If you're right about the temp being in the fifties, I should be able to have a pretty comfortable shower- at least I hope.

It says: Max Temp 140. Mine Temp 80. Min Activation Rate .25gpm.

The spec sheet says the flow rate is 4gpm at 45 degree rise. The literature says the unit is rated for whole house use in northern US and Canada. Efficiency is really not a great concern for me in this case because of how little it will be needed. I just want to know that we can have a hot shower in the winter, if necessary.

It does draw a lot of power- 100amps. But, it's going to get very limited use. So, I'm not really worried about the electric bill. I'd rather not use a gas tank. The tankless units seem pretty easy to install.

I'm in the process of having electric service installed at my hunting camp. I'm planning to install a tankless water heater. The unit I'm looking at is rated for cold locations. But, it draws a lot of power- requires three 40 amp double pole breakers. I was originally planning to install 100 amp service. But, this unit would require 150 or 200. Anybody use a tankless heater and have similar experience?

I was at my place in Burlington on Thursday. Had at least a foot on the ground in the open areas. I was hoping to set a few cameras. Had about two feet on the ground in the woods. No chance of climbing the hill and setting cameras with that much snow. Did see lots of birds in the area.

You took your smoker to work?

My land is in that area also- I'm anxious to hear the responses. I've been wanting to get up there for a while, but need to wait until the snow will allow it.

Good luck to you. You might want to try to see it while there is still some snow- a whole lot easier to see tracks on the ground. You sound like you know what you're doing- my best advice would be to not rush it. As far as my new property goes, it's the agricultural fields surrounding it that keep the wildlife there. The deer and turkey have no reason to go anywhere else. They have a few hundred acres of contigious woods surrounded by food. Are you using a real estate agency?

Bone seeker, your original post describes exactly my situation and the reasons why I bought land in the first place. I recently bought land in Otsego and have so far been very happy with it. I had owned property in Cortland County and found that I can get a lot more for my money in Otsego. My previous property was 20 acres surrounded by state land (forest). My new property is 53 acres surrounded by mostly agricultural fields. I've been thrilled with the quantity of deer and turkey I've seen so far. Prices for 'hunting land' in Otsego were $1100 to $1500 per acre.

Thanks for the feedback- pretty much confirms what I was expecting. I'll use it in the stand to range a few trees in likely shooting areas. Was mostly just curious if the incline adjustment was useful at relatively short ranges like bowhunting from a treestand. thanks again.

I just got a new range finder- a Halo. I've never used one before. I plan to use it mostly for bowhunting from a treestand; and maybe for turkey hunting from the ground. It has a setting for normal distance and another one that corrects for angle of incline. Do you all use this feature, or just go with the normal distance reading?

Haven't you figured it out yet? If you're angry about or disagree with something, blame 'the liberals'. If you don't like someone, assume they're 'a liberal'.

It's great for kids (and adults) to be exposed to different cultures. When my kids are old enough, I hope they'll have similar opportunities. “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

I'm neither Dem nor Rep. But, if I was a Republican, I would be more concerned about the clowns they keep trotting out- Bush's, Ben Carson, Rand Paul, Walker, Cruz, etc. No wonder they're so obsessed with Hillary.

I'm not a Hillary fan either. Seems to me that it's the right that's more obsessed with her than the left.

If she's so washed up, shouldn't you be hoping she gets the Dem nomination?

Wooly, I'm not trying to argue or derail the thread. Yes, alcoholism could cause hyperkalemia. But not surgery or scar tissue. Renal disease is the most common cause. Either way, I agree that it's always a good idea to see your doc if something doesn't seem right.

Fair point Wooly, regarding seeking medical advice on this forum. Although I've never heard of a case involving knee surgery causing hyperkalemia.

Ants, your issue may be related to nerve impingement. That's not uncommon after knee surgery. Probably has nothing to do with an electrolye issue if it wasn't a problem before surgery. Surgery can cause scar tissue, which can cause nerve impingements.
