I haven't updated this since last season, hopefully I'll do a better job this year & we can use it to track how the season goes.
We have been busy the last couple of Saturdays and last Wednesday getting ready for the season, and this Saturday (Feb. 7) we'll be tapping our trees.
The only big change for this year is installing new doors on the front of the arch to convert it back to wood. After the initial investment that should save us several hundred dollars this season. This also involved the re-installation of our 12" smoke stack. We discovered that one of the elbows had rusted out while stored outside so we have a new one on order.
Wednesday we had to talk the gas company into delivering us 100 gallons of LP instead of their normal 200 minimum. Michael was able to talk direcrlt to the driver & get him to come out, so we gave him some syrup as a thank-you. With gas at 2.29 a gallon we weren't too excited about paying for 100 gallons we don't think we're going to need.
