One of the few things that bothers me while doing syrup is a face full of heat and wind blown ash while tending to the evaporator. Catch a faceful and then your eyes water, and later on it feels as though you’ve sunburned your eyes. They go scratchy & dry. Day one was better, the air was very still, no wind gusts to catch you by surprise. Day two – not so much. Gusty, breezy, blowey even. Sunny and warm though. I got a whole winter’s worth of vitamin D direct from the sun after a five hour mid day shift. I have to imagine given the quantity of sap buckets left over that we will continue to boil sap throughout the day today aswell. Bring on those double digit spring sun shiny days! I’d crack a beer if I drank it. An icy cold Radler would go down a treat in this weather. Light beer and fruit juices. Very European. Apparently.
I believe today is Monday. I’m going to have tonnes of laundry to do tomorrow. I imagine quite a bit of work to do as well. I’m still going over in my head how to break down various objects in my shop to reclaim space, but not have to buy more stuff to accommodate the items that I need to move around and store. I think that I can build more shelves with the items I break down to maximize what I all ready have in place. I just need to be bold or impulsive and start! Decisions – decisions.
