Thread: Oh my aching back - must be the buckets of sap

Tweet

Tom,
About how much do you get from 1 tree each day, per bucket?

Are you up to your eye balls in snow today? sunday we had no snow on the ground & 52 degs out, monday it snowed all day & night, BIG snow flakes, & 32 degs, we must have 8-10" again. Who it heck ordered this crap! I hope I can get out to go to work, our last 2 snows, I could'nt get up the street, and missed work , and others on the block. I had it with the worthless guy that in charge of the streets here, after I called him to ask if he could plow our street, so we can get up the hill, he told me were his brain was(up his A##), He told me to get someone on the block to plow it! Then we called the mayor at home 7:30 am (She was actually glade we called). gee, it was plowed and sanded. My mail was stopped once till I removed the snow from in front of the mail box. I called the city and told them they had to get the snow plowed closer than 3-4 feet from the curb, I don't do streets. (since getting rid of the Bobcat) Jerks!

On a good warm windy day preceded by a hard freeze the night before, I've got 3 gallons of sap in a day, but most of the time about half of that.

We have about an inch of snow which came last night. I would rather have snow than rain because snow won't go in the buckets.

I'm coming up your way tomorrow to visit my son and eat supper with them. I'd like to bring a bottle of Maple Syrup along for you, will you be home some time in the early afternoon?

You bet! I have that dip stick, pullies, and a fan for a V6. I'll get home around 3:00, is that ok?

Guess what Tom!
We got an offer on our house today We just countered back, we'll find out tomorrow, if they accept it or not!!! Yaaa Hoooo!!!!!.....Maybe.
We got 10" of snow yesterday, and it's melting fast!
