It takes about 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. It's an all day affair. 8 hours Saturday and 2 hours Sunday. We still need to finish boil in the house and jar it. There's lots of variables including the types of maple trees, day/night temps and which part of the season the sap was collected.

That sounds like a sticky situation from start to finish! Surely that takes a lot of patience and attention to keep from burning it.
"aint cha mama" aint got nothin on a pancake topped with sausage patties and another pancake and drizzled in golden eagle. I'm pretty sure if Aunt Jemima asked God what he wanted for breakfast, that's what he would eat.

When the going gets tough, the tough get sideways
Pouring 140 yards of concrete
ETA: Adding a little info here cuz typing on my phone at work sux
The big box on the left is the base pad for the crane, you can see the first section of the mast is installed on the base plates, the red plates at the bottom. Once the job is done the crane will be dismantled and the base plates removed from the concrete. The 4 places with the epoxy coated rebar (green bars) are for columns, there will be a wall in between the 2 columns at the front of the pic and that wall will run all the to the opposite perpendicular wall to the left that is not in the pic. It's an exterior wall.
The base pad for the crane took 85 +/- cubic yards of concrete. I think the dimensions were 24 ft x 24 ft and it's almost 4 feet thick.
The box towards the rear of the pic is the base for the elevator, that's almost 4 ft thick too. There is a small wall we poured to the left of the pic that you can't see. Everything was poured with a pump truck. It took a little over 3 hours to pour everything. You have to pour in lifts, and let the concrete set slightly before you pour the next lift, otherwise the pressure from the weight of the concrete can blow out the forms, which obviously is not a good thing.

Got my coffee table unloaded finally. Been playing mechanic since I'm between jobs. Trying to decide if I want to start cutting on it, or try and sell for a bit of profit. The wheeler dealer in me says sell. I got enough going on! But it would be a groovy table.
Crane pads are fun, I got lied to when i went to Washington to work. Prepped freezer building floor. In ground heat 4' on center, 6" of foam, highway mat, then 475~ yards a day. 3am start time.,fun fun. Pour days I just had to clip trees on and make sure union boys pulled up mat. Had many a confrontation with the 21 year old supers. They forgot I've been in the mud since I was about 14. Not a real fun "trip" paid well tho!!
Going to finally read the manual tonight..............probably won't make it past page 5

More info needed on that "situation " w the tractor
I made it through in a JD6715 pulling a 15ft mower. The ford 8340 towing the same mower got stuck so I pulled him out.
Did 2 or 3 of those back in the late 90's one in Jamestown NoDak, one in Parks Rapids, MN can't remember where the third one was.
Nice job for you! I got to puddle all those yards of 'crete, then help set up for the next day. Friggin' roasting on that foam in the 90 degree summer heat in NoDak!
