i think it did and I do believe it came off in pieces today. I didn’t call to check on him. He recruited some folks with strong backs and weak minds no doubt .

I’ve been up at my Mom and Dads house cleaning out cupboards and freezers with my sister. I wish I felt like doing this at my own house! Spent the night two nights. Happy with all the progress.

We had a beautiful day yesterday, did some productive things in the morning and then we rode horse for a while in the afternoon. My horse enjoyed being in the water.

Striping is slow, I have one quart canned is all. The trees are running slow. On days there should be sap there is none, on days they should not run they run poorly.


It’s too cold and windy to run today, but I will be checking shortly.

Morning . Rain stopped during the night . Ralphie nice build on the stove for boiling sap . Bought more flower roots and seeds yesterday . Getting the urge to start seeds probably near the end of the month . Saving eggs to hatch . Grandson bought 4 ducklings . I am tempted as I like to eat duck but probably no .

Cold today, but sunny. So we might get a sap flow.

Well I will set eggs today . First I will install a digital controller . Those $12 eBay type . They improved the wiring directions since I bought one a few years ago . English and wiring diagram . Chinese also but I can not read that. I use them on brooders also . So much easier to set than wafers .

Ok so shortage of antibacterial soap . People not been washing their hands until now ? This is shocking . I use it all the time . Not stockpiling toilet paper either . I do not panic when it snows either . There are several strains of corona virus . Cold and flu are some . This is basically a viral pneumonia . There will be a vaccine . Chances are vaccine will be ready by fall .
