The Beginning.

You didn't REALLY think that was the end for real, did you?!? Well, you better believe I'm not smart enough to end this stuff, and I'm already thinking of ideas for future 365 challenges! :) For an explanation as to what this one will be watch here:

The only thing I can think of that I forgot to mention is that I am removing the random fact of the day and giving a song a day, of significance of course! And this video shows a lot of my weird mannerisms. Oh and I don't really have a lisp, there's something weird with my s's and my camera. . . lol.

Day 1 - [03.23.10]

I spent a few hours yesterday working on boiling sap down. My dad and I are making maple syrup again this year.

For those of you who don't know anything about it, here's a brief description of how it's done. First (obviously) we had to tap the trees. This involves drilling holes in the maple trees, putting in the taps in, connecting the plastic tubing and running it to the buckets. Then we need to collect the sap as it runs. Warm days and cold nights with no wind are the best for sap running. (Yesterday ALL of our buckets were full to overflowing.) Then once we have enough to keep it going we start boiling it. It takes about 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup when boiled down. Yep, lots of boiling and collecting involved.

Lucky for me. . . .while I'm boiling I have time to sit and do nothing, so I take my computer out and work on whatever or talk to people online or work on studying with my fire homework. Yesterday I worked on my blog and talked to some friends. :)

Song of the Day:

8 Second Ride by Jake Owen [I love this song, and I heard it like five times yesterday. Twice on the radio and three because I was trying to get ahold of Zach and it's his "ring" when you call.]

"I happen to know everything there is to know about maple syrup! I love maple syrup. I love maple syrup on pancakes. I love it on pizza. And I take maple syrup and put a little bit in my hair when I've had a rough week. What do you think holds it up, slick?" -Jeremy Grey, Wedding Crashers
