We don't sell it but plenty of people do. Local sellers can get $12 a pint for good syrup. It takes 40 to 50 gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup depending on the sugar content. Our trees usually run at around 2%. Each tap produces about a gallon or 2 of sap per day on average when the...
Yes, it's maple season here and we are drowning in sap at the moment. It has a short storage life, so when it runs you have to boil.

No can do, Fran. I'm in the sugar house with at leat 4 more more hours to go tonight. Going to have to start the RO and relight the fire by 7 a.m. just to keep up tomorrow. I go on call at 5 but hubby will be home from work to take over boiling.

I've been working the regular 40 at the factory, and 4 nights a week at the other gig and it's been a crazy heavy maple season. I am exausted and I am definitely not ready to start on any yard work yet. We found a lot of dog presents when the snow melted too but she has a 20 x 40 fenced area for...

Rest and eat whatever looks good to you, Fran. You have had a lot of taxing happenings lately. Give yourself a break and some time to recover. Sending hugs.

I'm not looking forward to it, roth. They are expecting windchills around 25 to 30 below for the next 2 days. My factory job has only ever sent people home when the whole state pretty much lost power several years ago. It's been a very long time since we've seen temps like this with a lot of...
Same here. Snow before Thanksgiving and not much since. Temps in the 40s and rainy. Last night it was freezing rain with lots of accidents. It was rainig and 35 when I got home from job #2 tonight and I'm hoping it stays above freezing although it will probably turn to ice.

We use rat traps and live catch traps with a pellet rifle. We caught over 50 chippies last year and nearly as many mice this year already. Cracked corn is good bait. The bucket and tip plate are no good in the winter.

Thanks hitt. White portions and about $2 more a can. We ordered some Odens mint varieties and a roll of Offroad frosted. Same company and most are saying it's the same flavoring in slightly different tobacco. It seems odd that they would just discontinue it, as popular as it is. Regular strength...
I just went to place a large semi-annual order for the husband's thunder mini frosted and discovered that it was discontinued by the manufacturer in August. It is the only thing he uses. This is going to make for an "interesting" conversation in the morning.

I'm afraid you might be right about this winter Fran. Woke up to a foot of wet heavy snow this morning. It is way too early for that much. It's usually January before we get that kind of accumulation.
