Color does not mean anything on density. Actually the last 5 gals I made today had lighted up a lot from first 15 of the day. Nice hard freeze last night.

You should come over and check it out. It’s like England but new.

I fish in NH we have the same v notch and oversize rules. You can bitch about Canada but not us.

You got me beat 1790. I grew up in a 1760s.

1949 isn’t ancient.

It’s a busy weekend. But I look at it this way. I run 1300 taps and retail everything. I make the same money my family in vt who does 10k taps and wholesales everything. And I actually enjoy 98% of the folks who come in.

That cold snap in late feb saved it I think. We are having a good season. Not amazing but decent.

Probably a bit early. I’m only dipping into dark out of amber.

I haven’t a friend who was a hunting guide. (Since passed) he used to get invited in there fairly regularly to help members meet hunting quotas. This was the early 00s.

This is my surprised face.

Tapping is the easy part. Figure out how you are going to store and boil sap before you drill. Figure a gal of sap per tap per run day.

Vac is pretty common now. Most mid size guys are running it. It’s the best and most annoying thing. Especially at thd start fixing leaks. But pays off in the long run.

How long ago was that? Closed loop system greatly reduce bacteria getting into the tap hole so they don’t dry up.

It’s running now. But I’m way behind. This week is woods work then I’ll probably start tapping. But I’m on high vac so I could have tapped in dec.

It’s the job they picked. And they make huge OT. Those guys work hard. But we need to crack down on utilities not doing maintenance. The storm before Christmas the tree service had marked the tree that killed my power. But eversource is crying poverty that they can’t afford to cut all these trees.

I saw a mobile on .92 acres on a tree street in Northwood for 325. They’ve gone mental too.

It’s really cool to stumble on them in the wild. I’ve only done it 5 times. And even cooler is when you lock eyes with them cause you are both surprised.

Yup. And most of the towns around me as well.

We are not libertarian. They are moving here in droves to fuck this state up. As for fl. It’s cold. It’s hilly. You don’t need ac but you’ll need heat.

Center hill barns.

And his mustard it’s awesome

Out of the way but the barn store in Salisbury.

If you are a regular they’ll transfer long guns there. And avoid sales tax. I know at one point they had the highest inventory east of the Mississippi

Oddly the warming waters are not mentioned at all as the issue in lobster forums. It’s all a big liberal conspiracy to put us out of business. While the whale part is total bull. The warming waters will probably kill my fishing in the next 5-10 years. Guys are catching fish that shouldn’t be up here more and more. Trigger fish and blue crab shouldn’t be more then a once a season oddity.

They used to have great middle eastern food. But I just realized it’s been 10 years since I went there
