Where to Get STLs

Have your own 3D printer, a friend with one, or even your local library? You are in luck! I am making the STLs for these available via Printables and Thingaverse so that anyone can print these out on their own.

Recently Colossal Biosciences, a company based in Dallas, reported that with the use of genetic engineering and surrogate dogs they now have three dire wolfs.  This would mean they have brought a species back from extinction one that has been extinct for 12,000 years.

This site was just recently upgraded to a new version of Drupal.  

In the process some functionality may have been broken.

Please be patient as I work through all the issues!

The good news is that the site is now viewable via Mobile Devices!

I have officially joined the 2020s - good thing too because they are half over!

Well 2025 is definitely a good year for Maple Syrup! Seven and a half gallons and unless the weather changes drastically it is looking like the next week plus will produce a lot more sap!

A Maple Syrup Hydrometer is an absolute must have when boiling your sap down to syrup! It has two lines on it, one for when doing a "hot test" and the other for a "cold test" and chances are you will be using it for hot syrup rather than cold. When syrup is hot it is less dense and therefore the hydrometer sinks deeper into it. Although I do test my syrup once it cools down just to verify!

33 Quart Canner at Amazon.

For those who are serious about canning you will need one of these!

At 33 quarts this canner can hold nine (9) one quart jars! May sound like a bit of over kill but when you have three to four gallons of syrup to can you will thank me!
