good morning guys, Some people are ignorant and oblivious to everything around them, I had someone back into my plow yesterday so hard it split his back bumper cover wide open, He tried to drive away but 1 of my guys saw it and stopped him. he was complaining he was late to a meeting but waited til I climbed down the ladder to check things and when i saw he suffered all the damage i let him go. My truck stands 7 feet tall and has a BIG red vplow no one can miss on the front. How someone can back up directly into the thing hard enough to do that damage I can't fathom. Never mind try driving off without a care in the world.

My friend Jay, up in the Litchfield hills, does about 25 acres with a vacuum pump setup.
Just the smell coming from the sugar shack makes my mouth water.
depends on our ambition, we have done over 300 before, but our evaporator is only rated for 250, so that becomes a 3 shift operation to keep up. some years we only do about 50, but usually around the 150 mark for the past few years. dad only has one arm right now, so it might be a light year or the boredome may cause him to go crazy and get as many as possible.

1- NO PALLET WOOD!!! poison smoke and food production doesnt mix.
2- i have all the framing lumber and mahogany, black walnut, oak, and maple flooring scraps i need to burn through the entire season.
