Just about a gallon . Had about a half pint left in the pot and just poured it into the opened jar in the fridge . I’m done even though I have about 45 gallons of sap left to boil . I’m going to give it to my neighbor and let him use it for his production

For the sake of your Man Card, you need to be working harder to put a smile on her face. And hunting up some sunscreen for the tops of your feet. Thank me later.I’ll catch up on the post’s tonight
Until then, I’ll say…. This is the best business trip I’ve been on so farView attachment 1067053View attachment 1067052View attachment 1067051View attachment 1067050
I'm thinking you're going to have to sweeten the deal with some necked down grease guns and some Ziggy Bears around this crowd. Though a care package with some Aloe Vera Gel sent to Matt's house for when he gets home willl demonstrate thoughtfullness.
Since you asked, I have three sisters and 9 ex BIL's, so, whatcha wanna offer me?

I Looked at some cheaper Ford trucks but when I looked them up they had issues. The 03 Mercury Grand Marquis I inherited from my Father was a good running car. But I stayed away from the trucks.

So the nightmare is over. I had looked for a new Chevy or GMC 3500 regular cab WT. One dealer had them but would only sell to commercial
. The Local Chevy truck dealer finally told us that 2023 orders were done and we had to wait for the 2024 orders. They call back and say the manager would not order it because they had a customer waiting over 18 months on an order. The only trucks they had were 1500 crew cabs. Finally a Local GMC dealer emailed and told us we could build a 2024. As we were doing the build we Selected Quick Silver for a color I see a 2500 double cab with the 6.6 gas engine go by the window. The manager came over and asked if we wanted to test drive it. We did and it had lots of options. It had heated seats my wife wanted and the towing that I wanted. We were looking at a 8 to12 month wait on a special order so we bought it. I ordered the back rack so I would not take out the rear window chucking wood in and they gave us the Linex spray in bed Liner. Turns out the truck was a custom order that was not picked up.

I know he wasn’t a big fan of all the **** measuring that came with some of the ported saw polishing boys. He said they took the fun out of an otherwise very enjoyable experience.
I know from my own experience that when cutting a 30 - 36 inch Oak or Ash tree using my 372XPOE saw with a 24 inch bar versus a 395XP with a 36 inch bar using the same type full chisel chain that there is a complete world of difference between the two saws. I'll take the 395XP over the 372XP any day. I don't have a saw between these two in size. That 395XP that I use sometimes is moving on. That is why I bought the 394XP yesterday.Yeah, and some guys don't want a front tensioner
If I was milling, I might get a 395, other than that or resale, I see no reason to own one for my needs.
Average 40:1 depending on the % of sugar content. I’ve had 25:1 at times I haven’t checked the last batch of sap but it was averaging 3.% so he may get a little over a gallon
But he does on average 500 gallons of syrup he sells it
They are still making them.They are being fazed out gradually
At least that don't sit Stihl very muchGeez you guys quit drooling all over the huskies.
All this maple syrup talk's got me needing to get some.... do you know anyone up there that will sell syrup and ship it?

Mighty brave talk for a guy that hasn't tested out that grease gun on a bear yet.
