I gather you'd take a stagecoach yourself? Prodding the fat bear is a fun pastime that I'll play along with if reasonable, but at least make some fucking sense.

Post some pics of the cajons! I haven’t gotten one yet...maybe I should build one!
Afternoon monkeys!
Subbed this AM, came home and made some fire to boil more sap! I was going to crack open a beer while I surfed the RM, but perhaps some warm whiskey is in order.

boil tree sap? what fer?
If people want me to come in to work at obscure hours and weekends, i'd appreciate more than 3 days notice. It's better than the few hours notice i typically get i guess.
I'll snag a few shots...working on a lap cajon some this week. I don't know why I've been so obsessed with these things lately - some of the tones that can be made with these things are fascinating....

Maple syrup! Decided to try it this year. Pretty easy (so far) & now I get to day drink and not feel too bad about it lol!
Happy fucking equinox!!!!! This is one of my favorite pagan holidays. Second to the winter feast and killing of a tree. Today the family and I will have our offerings to Ostera, aka the easter bunnies boss or friend. I cant keep track of what my 5 year old thinks. Then lamb stew and a bonfire. I have a bunch of 4x4's from pallets im gunna stack up into a trump tower with my trump pinata in front of it or on top of it and burn it until it falls. Oh and drink a bunch of beer and smoke weed.
there's only one answer. and if you dont know....
my cousin in maine (retired) still makes his own syrup and taps the trees on their wood lot. its great but holy hell do you need a lot of sap
I believe the general ratio is 40:1 sap: syrup
that is correct.
This is far too refined for me, I prefer my canadian black market tree juice, tythere's only one answer. and if you dont know....
We used to make it every spring when I was growing up (had ~12 sugar maples)... it was a lot of work when it came time to keep the fire burning to boil off most of the water... took days.

DMT.
oh wait thats in the amazon not VT.
Raining, but still got in forty two laps on the stairs at work ( 52 steps each lap) and then did 2.5 miles before shift start...nice early morning pump
Yup! We have anough sap for about a gallon. We booked a bit on Saturday/Sunday and today. It takes time but the fire is keeping me warm and I have had time to do some chores around the house too so win-win so far.
well, just trying to be nice to my 'murican brethren. Also trying to make it so they can understand.
lunch ride is done, and it was glorious. worth it, even if I got out 1 hour late and got back in the office at 2:30!
too bad they don't have mountains to ski on. that would be soooo miserable.

Yeah - we would cook outside for several days before bringing the sap in for the more supervised "final boil."
This honestly sounds like a really good time. I love cooking food out on my wood burning stove in the shed. I usually catch a good buzz too.
So this morning had a bit of excitement. My sister arrives to work at the same time as me and tells me that one of our tenants has like 5 cop cars at it. So i send my security guy over there to see whats up. Already knowing that my tenant owes a guy money that has come by and threatened him. Turns out it was that guy, and hes a pretty bad guy, probably in a gang, known as "chollo" just did six years for breaking a guys jaw while stealing his lug nut covers. Now is threatening to kill this guy and the cops got him in the act with a pistol on him. Apparently saying hes got bazookas and grenades. I got this info from several sources. My tenant sends over one of his workers to tell me about it. Well he tells me the guy comes by and sells parts, my first question was where does a tweaker in a nice truck get used parts? Worker replies "I dont know". But I think i might know. Heard from another little bird guy owes him 20k. Not enough for me to want some prison time over but what the fuck do i know. I just know we got lucky today.
Snow is flying but roads are fine. Debating going climbing later before things get bad. But also considering starting drinking. I have some wood to split so that's kinda like exercise.
Don't worry about the ax, worry about the tomahawk.
And technically, splitting maul. Not ax.
Our snow event won't start until ~1PM tomorrow but I am doing my homework and am preparing with some quality G&Ts.
Dealing with Drunky McDrunkington is getting old. Had to cut him loose today.... He asked me why I won't give him a key. His Mom won't give him a fucking key??
Cold and wet here in Angryland, perfect for another trip to the dentist. The last three were all on the only sunny days of the month.
One of the dentists is actually a mountain biker. Haven't met him yet but couldn't help but think about RM and Dentist bikes.

This is my plan as well! Fine so far...sitting in the sun, by a fire, drinking a beer and reading a book at 2pm...I could get used to this!
Life is good this far! Grilled a spice rubbed pork tenderloin & potatoes, harmed a few beers, read and enjoyed some “me” time...works for me!
maybe he was thinking “bros before hos?” unless it’s your brother...then he’s just a dick
is good? have seen but not acquired.
did score a seasonal coffee porter that’s long gone from most places by now at the local gas station beer cave. so that’s a win...
