Awesome set up Tim :tu
Yes sir, we're boiling sap! We've had a fairly good run for the few days it's ran. They've gathered just over 1,000 gallons of sap. I don't gather, I just do the boiling and bottling.
Rich added an RO system this year, so he figures we're removing about 50% of the water before it enters into the system to boil. Much quicker turn around time between batches. This year, our syrup is very light in color. Light as, or lighter than honey when you look through it in the light. And OH MY!!!!! is it sweet this year.
Shaun, that is my son Joey, he'll be 5 next month and he loves being at the shack. Nice to be able to pass this type of family tradition down to your children. This family has been making Maple syrup in this area since 1837 and it's an amazing feeling to be a part of this. I've been boiling for about 20 years now.
Nice, except for the bike. That take too much work!
Was that dinner, Paul.? Some shore lunch, du peddle bike.
I had some Santa Fe Chicken and Rice freeze-dried concoction lined up for dinner so that fatty got to go back. I regretted it immediately after starting in on the freeze dried.
I had just a little ulta-light rig and some worms from the compost pile and was expecting crappie. This one surprised me and gave me a great battle. Fun.
