Got a few little buckets done after moving a bunch of crap, two rows are filling up pretty quick, but I'll need to move more crap to get the 4th row from the middle, the third I can get without moving stuff, but its easier to do two rows at a time.
Got enough in there for a few weeks now lol. Some of it is a bit unseasoned, but should be ready by the end of next season if we get that far into it, normally I have a good bit left.
This is what's left after burning this yr, and selling a cord out of there.
This was what's left from two seasons ago, and where I'm working now. I stack this side pretty high as it doesn't have the shelf above it like the other side does. Hard to see, but mainly the back 6' was all still there. Couple projects...
Three little buckets.
In the background ou can see the stem left from the cherry I topped at the neighbors, that's a project too lol. Also need to get the rest of the stem the wind took out of the leader next to it, that's the one that trashed his barn. Also lots of other wood on the ground over there I can cut up when I have "spare" time.
Spring temps rolling in ,
My dad was Royal Navy, 1943 to 1946, destroyers and minesweepers. He was home fleet, serving from Iceland to Norway, then Italy and Malta. He was at D-day. His ship (HMS Montrose) was there early and set down reconnaissance troops in kayaks, who scouted the Gold and Sword invasion beaches in the early hours of 06 June. He got the rum ration. After the war his favourite was Lamb's Navy.

Chipper, False Spring!!! I was just telling that to my sister in-law. To not get too used to this nice weather
I’m outside boiling sap and the flies are terrible. It’s 60 right now
Got the preliminary plans to approve yesterday . Only thing I’m changing is having double hung windows as apposed to the sliders. And I may have 1 ft overhangs added that increases the price by about 3k . Not sure if it’s worth it or not. Once I approve them I’ll get the sealed plans
The temperature comes up , also the ticks come out , it was terrible last spring in my area,
Never boiled sap and had flies or bees hovering around.
Sugihara vs Tsumura LW bars... Any difference in weight or quality?
Get the overhang. Worth it imo, keeps the rain away from the sides of the building, and 1 foot is enough to keep the door open and not get wet during a normal rain if you want some air. I did 2 foot out the front of the shop, and 1 foot on the sides. Flush in the back. Wish I would have went at least 1 foot across the back too.
Weight is negligible difference, at least in the lengths I have, and both are great quality bars. I pretty much grab whichever is cheaper when I'm shopping for a new bar.
The new Tsumura Premium are lighter than its elder version, but relatively speaking there both good quality and Sugi makes the Husky tough and light bars , 
Insurance guy left a bit ago. Reasonable guy once we were face to face. Don't know ow what his problem was on the phone yesterday. Going to be a bit of a circus from what he said. He wants the roof removed where the damage is, then pictures sent and my contractors estimate/ assessment. He wrote up more then I thought he was going to, including damage to the roof over the patio, and 3 of the gutters across the house. Siding on the end of the house, 6 of the solar panels and a few other things. See how things go. Called the contractor and he said he would swing out in the next coupple days and pull the one roof off.

I have not checked in a while, but in the past the Stihl light bars were a good deal lighter than the others but were not cheap.
However, no price on my back appreciating them!
They are tough enough that I have used 2 36" bars for quite a bit of milling w/o any issues.

One thing the Tsumura and Sugi have pretty hard rails , if you ever tried to dress them , on par with Cannon,
Picked up 3 of these 3 gallon jugs a few days ago label says “Not for fuel use” wink wink nudge nudge . They were on the clearance rack at Tractor supply 50% off the lowest price . Paid $4.50 a piece 
I see they're good for automotive fluids and chemicals though!
Do they seem like nice jugs though? They look like nice, heavy plastic.
So maple sap?
