Shot with the iphone 14 pro max. The phones are getting very good at taking night pictures. But can't see the mountains in this picture.
It's nice in this apartment. View of the mountains, the city lights, quiet, and a church always with white birds always flying around.
A few more weeks and I'll be in Cartagena. I still need to find an apartment back in this city when I return

That looks way thinner and higher flow rate than I would have guessed for tree sap.

Maple Sap is water with about 2% sugar content. The flow rate is the output of a 2hp Goulds pump in the pump shed 900’ away, pumping into a 4k gallon ss tank.

Maple Sap is water with about 2% sugar content. The flow rate is the output of a 1hp pump in the pump shed 900’ away, pumping into a 4k gallon ss tank.

What length of time is required to fill that 4k tank?

What length of time is required to fill that 4k tank?

I'd say about 200 furlongs per fortnight.

Spotted me this German import in the wild on my way home from work.
Ford Ranger Wildtrak 3.2l. Scooted right along even with the bed camper on.

Blue bird day at Taos Ski Valley after a big storm dumped 27” of snow over the past 2 1/2 days….

What length of time is required to fill that 4k tank?

It depends on the sap run, basically a weather thing. Cold night, freeze up the bush, followed by warm days and the sap runs up the tree. With 5500 taps flowing, It can produce up to 5500 gallons in a 24hr period. About a gallon per tree per day on average. I am still tapping in Febuary, not used to runs this early.

caught a nice shot of a red-tailed hawk a few days ago. these guys are beefy. that's about a four foot wingspan, to give you an idea of the overall size.

Looks like retirement is agreeing with you! I see a lot of happy faces.

My wife and I area getting ready for our first cruise since our honeymoon, 30+ years ago. Funny thing is that the ship that we be on is about the same size as that first one, but is now considered to be a small ship.

That's Frolf. For the people that take it too seriously, I love telling them that. "AKSHUALLY, it's Disc Golf". I just say "Frolf is a more accurate name" as I'm walking away. I expect to get a "disc" in the back of the head every time
