Cloudy and windy today, but no snow for us.  West and South they had a lot of snow; a good storm. 

Tried to arrange for hoses, valves and clamps for the R/O.  Have to wait for them to arrive and see what we can do.

After lunch started tapping.  Counted out 50 buckets and spouts.  Started behind the building.  The wind picked up and that made it cold.  The tap holes were wet.  Sap is moving in the trees. 

Tractor trouble late in the day.  Parked the tractor back to the house after tapping.  A few hours later tried to start it to move it into the garage.  It does not start.  It turns over, but will not fire.  It did flood so maybe that is the problem.  Its staying outside overnight.  We will see what it does in the morning.  The tractor is kind’a important.
