Well, Mark, creeping back to the thread, I'd give my eye teeth to come out and jam with you all -- or do you call it syruping? -- and we can trade notes on sap-gathering expeditions, which I used to do on occasion in Vermont. We had a middle-size boiling shed in the middle of the woods where I went to school, and some of my fondest memories are of sliding around the slopes on a tractor in the early Spring, collecting sap. There goes the thread again!!

LOL!
