Long Wait Ahead

My Maples finally decided to open up a bit and give me enough sap to begin boiling it down. It is currently 10:00PM and the sap is about half boiled down, it should be done around 12:00 or 1:00. Let's see, on top of that I made a new bread and a couple of new cooking utensils out of Curly Maple. I decided earlier to start carving another wood chain following the one my Malamute devoured a couple of weeks ago but had to abort this one as well. Just as I was about to finish carving the links free my knife slipped through a weak point in the wood and lets just say finger wrapping was necessary hahaha. So to this date that wooden chain has proven a worthy adversary but I will try again tomorrow maybe.
