Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Sawyer Rob]

I'm too old and wore down to use a wheelbarrow like you guys do, so here's my wheelbarrow and splitter. lol

It's still slow going for me these days...

I don't know Rob. I think you'd out work me any day.
I've seen the amount of wood you process alone.
And if you can use a machine to do the heavy stuff, that's just smart and comes from years of experience.
Always like seeing what you're up to in the woods.

He brought me a huge load of post oak last week. I actually told him to stop bringing it until I can catch up. I have about 30 cords of logs that need prossesing.

The last line says Philadelphia. I went there once... never again.

Certain sections of Philadelphia I’d steer clear of, but it’s not all bad.

The CL ad Keith posted is from West Chester, Pa about 35 miles west from the city…..

Good stuff there. I had to re boil my last batch and add water. I boiled it until it got foamy but that was to thick. I had maple sugar crystals in it, good but addictive stuff ( MAPLE CRACK)

Thanks, I'm boiling another batch tonight so I thought of your post. I boiled mine until it hit 219°. I was wondering, is there a way to tell when sap has gone "buddy"? Everything I read says to boil a test batch.
This maple syrup making is addictive. I think I will triple the number of taps from 5 to 15 next year.
Thanks!

We took a family trip through New England on our way to Acadia National Park in Maine a few summers back. Stopped at a mom and pop breakfast joint where they only served maple syrup on the way up and now thats all I'll use on pancakes. Would love to tap and make my own at some point. Even though its not firewood related, I love the maple syrup posts!!!!!

You guys are making me hungry for pancakes.

Of the AB products, I prefer Busch. More flavor. And forget Bud Lite. Watered down flavor.

I was "flying the Miller flag" last night too. This bottle had a double label applied - it did not have double the amount of beer though.

My buddys and I call High Life bottles "tall blondes". I like them but I tend to have 1 or 4 too many and the next day requires ibuprofen.
