Out here in the cold wind making syrup. Anyone want to bring me a beer?

Clearly child labor is a problem. The company advertising in my Insta feed is most certainly hiring 13 year old boys to name their products. #laserpecker

Making steam again! #maple #maplesugaring #maplesyrupseason #maplesyrup

WTF kind of weather alert is this? #weather #wiwx

Hit 30 gallons for the season and we're not done yet! Some of the biggest runs are probably yet to happen. This is the most syrup I've produced in any season. Last year was the previous best at 29.2 gallons. #maple #maplesugaring #maplesyrupseason #maplesyrup

Good morning. #sunrise

7 more gallons. Makes 23 for the year and we'll be boiling again tomorrow! #maplesyrup #maple

Matched last year's sap collection...and it's only March 1st. #maple #maplesyrup

Slow lately. Not horrible to get a break though. Bottled up what I boiled last week. Another 5.8 gallons. Just over 16 gallons bottled up this season. Still February. Looks like it's going to get nuts again. #maplesyrup

Did some #rocketry today with the club. Went 5 for 5 on flights. No long walks. No broken anything. Great day of flying.

Upscale #estesrockets Nike-X on an Aerotech G76 Mojave Green to ~1300'
Sorcerer's Apprentice on an Estes D12-5 to 750'
Der Big Red Max on an Aerotech F20-4 White Lightning to 750'
Skyracha - a 4" diameter upscale Big Daddy on an Aerotech H128 White Lightning to 1000'

Not pictured; Normal Big Daddy on an Aerotech F39 Blue Thunder to about 800'. Too quick off the rail to get a good shot.

Yup, it's #caturday. #catsofmastodon

Finished this little gut-punch of a book during lunch. The story hits home; having grown up on a farm where there were a lot of small farms (key word: were). https://sneezingcow.com/ #book #bookstodon

Back at it again. Crazy runs over the last few days. I'm at 830 gallons of sap off my 95 taps. 1100 last year for the whole season and we have 5-6 weeks left.... Nuts. #maplesyrup

First bottles of 2023. #maplesyrup

How's your evening? Mine is great. Gonna be out here a while. #maplesyrup

WB Nuthatch in the woods today #birds #photography

A few weeks back we got a new king bed. Didn't like any headboards anywhere. My wife liked the style of an ash sofa table I built recently, so I took the same approach building this headboard. Long top and bottom pieces are ash, the rest is red oak....all from our land. Did every step of the process from timber to finished piece. Stain is General Finishes Antique Cherry, matching all our other bedroom furniture. #woodworking

First boil of the season! #maplesyrup

When I built my reverse osmosis for processing #maple sap, I got in the habit of writing the first run of each season on it. Yeah it's early... #maplesyrup
