Hi Guys,
No taps in yet, was planning to tap this afternoon but the weather doesn't look good for the next few days with the wind from the north. Probably Friday - Saturday now. Tubing is all set up, just needs tapping in. Should have ~ 275 this year if all goes according to plan.
Out to the shop now to:
- Repair the flat tire on the sap trailer
- get the 4 litre water jugs ready for spiles
- finish the new steam hood
- take aforementioned steam hood to shack to size up roof flashing
- plumb new preheater
Will keep busy for an hour or two!
Robert, I'd like to come see your place. Sounds like you've added a few new goodies since we last talked!
