Happy Birthday young lady.

My family took care of our grandparents, aunt and mother. Would never put them in a nursing home. I feel it makes your family stronger, and the younger nieces and nephews rallied together to help.

Hope you are out doing something fun! Happy Birthday

PPL inflation .7 percent in Feb before oil price inflation. I wish pressure didn’t work.

Two stores here had them for 2.99, next to a bin of 5.99, next to a bin of 7.99. lol

2.99 is cheap, so bought a few, but yes, any left after this week will go on sale...

They make a pretty fair killer trap for under ice muskrats. I used to use them that way as a young trapper. I’d wire them to a stake with a slice of potato wired to the pan. It would catch them right behind the ears. Back then we had to be a minimum of five feet from a muskrat hut. I’d put a few around the hut several feet out and did fairly well with them.

Thanks, you guys!

Elkaholic, it's ironic that very few of our hundreds of maples are uphill from the house or buildings, so running lines downhill to collection isn't practical, but we don't make that much syrup anyway. I think Zim had a total of 12 taps out! We use sap sacks and empty them each day. Not bad with a dozen trees.

TrapNH, when the old timers would boil down sap over a wood fire, they often broke eggs into the cooking sap to absorb wood ash. I suppose those eggs would be an interesting flavor between woodsy and sweet. It's cool to compare the old techniques and equipment to the new. I'm a bit of an instrumentation fan, but I love old traditions as well.

OhioBoy, it sure is amazing stuff, isn't it?

Thanks, Smash!

Buyers for different items tend to know which sales are best for which animals, so as a general rule that is where that species will go highest (but not always). The June sale is known as a cat sale, and beaver to a lesser extent, marten and canines usually better on the March sale.
