Well, not really. all the uncles and cousins are busy farming, planting alfalfa seeding with oat covercrop. Not quite sure of the total acerage that they planted since Sat., but should be around 150A Weather has been great.
I have been ocupied, washing sap buckets. Brought out a few over 700 buckets on the first load. Got them washed and stacked to dry. One cousin helped me this afternoon and we loaded up about 750 bkts on the trailer today. should have them washed by Thursday noon. that should leave just under a 1000 more to pickup and wash. The buckets and spiles have been pulled from the trees, and are lying in small stacks along the gathering roads.
I use a pressure washer to do the primary washing, inside each bucket while stacked on the trailer. The power bucket washer does the final rinse, and then the bkts are stacked to air dry in the pirimid stacks, and then consolidated into 25bkt stacks, for storage. Fun-fun-fun.
