  1. Looking like the run is going to shut down for a day or two. Bitter cold tonight into tomorrow. Wednesday will be warming up, but sap might not run until late afternoon.
  2. Borded our dogs once. Fantastic reviews. Dogs were mishandled and traumatized. Never again. Found a house/dog sitter. Fantastic.
  3. My cousin has over 120 preferences points. Hopefully he'll get drawn.
  4. I made maple candy once...... by accident. I was finishing a batch on the kitchen stove. There's very little forgiveness between syrup and WTF... wasn't paying attention, and in less then 1 minute things went from ok to not ok. The syrup got way too hot, and basically exploded. I had Stalactites hanging from the ceiling in moms kitchen. She wasn't impressed. Took me hrs to to clean the mess. So pay attention to what the bubbles are telling you, and do it outside, lol.
  5. Pic of the evaporator. Only boiled for a few hrs as a shakedown run. Previous owner is coming by tomorrow afternoon to set the floats and hopefully we will get a draw so he can show us the filter press operation. Unfortunately, I'm leaving for a ice fishing trip in Maine noon Tuesday - Sunday, so my buddy is on his own.
  6. Sap ran well yesterday. Got 500 gallons. Fired up the evaporator for the first time
  7. Looks like he's transitioned into his forever home quite well.
  8. He's adorable. Congrats to you and Cooper.
  9. Lol. Aunt Jemowin. What a label.
  10. I'm officially old... can't believe how sore I am. 3 of up spent 5 hrs on the Mt reparing lines and putting in 475 taps. By the time we got back to the holding tanks, it was flowing like a garden hose. Tank had 50 gal in it, unfortunately, that gets dumped as it has a bunch of nasties from the lines. Hopefully we can get our first boil in Sunday or Monday. Need 300+ gal just to fire up.

    Back home

    Welcome back to NY, I think...lol. What was the main reason for returning?
  12. So, I use a snowmobile once a yr which made it hard to justify owning one. I go to Maine for a 5 day ice fishing trip. Buddys camp is 12 miles from the road and the only only camp on a 2 acre island. I've been borrowing one, but hated doing it. Picked up this 97 pantara 580 EFI with 3800mi. E-start and reverse. Very clean sled and runs fantastic. Leaving for Maine Tues for our trip.
  13. Local store carries them. Definitely well made, but expensive.
  14. I'm gonna have to take a ride just so I can see it myself
  15. Got the arch set and the stack up. Head tank is in place and plumbed into the preheater. Tapping starts tomorrow.

    My 9

    Looks cleaner. I like it.
  17. Snow is better then mud and dirt that gets ground into the bark dulling saw chains and mill blades.
  18. Got 3 sides and the roof up. Picking up the evaporator tomorrow. Once its set, we can close up the front wall. This pic only shows the two walls and roof, but you get the idea.
  19. Your truly old school, and I'm loving it.
  20. I can't believe how much fun I've gotten by throwing some scrap in some random driveway....
  21. Got the message from my doc also. I'll pass.
  22. Didn't read through all the posts as they definitely got sideways, but did the sunrises sunset law get changed, or is that still pending? All in favor of the holiday hunt, and changing the sunrises, sunset law.
  23. Well this sucks.... now your prices are going to go up..lol Great job...
