Awesome short story! Sounds like one hell of a man. Also makes me think about the people in my life who I feel proud of honored to know. Thanks...
Sure was! Like the faucets were turned on. Maxed out my main tanks which is 270 gallons and the buckets below the sugar house were overflowing....
Next season will be great. Going to get you off that struggle bus with your evaporator and into some less aggravating boiling time.
That’s awesome! RO is in the works for me for next season.
Warmer temps overall can definitely shorten the season. If it stays warm enough for long enough the trees will think about putting out buds....
Mushrooms are a lot of fun but a lot of work. But you still get to harvest woods and spend time out in the wood innoculating logs and force...
Definitely love that log hauler. Looks like an awesome haul out. Can’t beat a good day working ok some hickory!

Planning to boil late into the night tonight. Get a jump start on the week. Don’t plan on finishing any syrup until tomorrow night though. Just...
Geez. That’s crazy! I needed three 30 yard dumpsters and thought that was a lot!
Might have to give one of these a try...
That’d be a perfect cut for it! I’m sure it’ll come out great. If you try it out, post up a pic or two here.
I think a lot of people have forgotten what food really is. Give me a boiled head of cabbage to complement some pickled meat any day over some of...
Sharp chain? What’s that...? That sucks, Brad. What are the odds of hitting that one spot?? Seems like every time I sharpen my chains or toss a...
Looks like it should flow through Thursday here then some colder air comes in. The flow yesterday and today was great. I’m just about to fire up...
