I missed a few more pictures. When bringing the syrup in I ended up with 2 βbatchesβ and they boil at different temps The light was boiling at 209 the dark at 215. I would eventually combine them and get it done. boiling at 220.

I only saw part of the dust up, but frankly I would rather see Gio being pissed about losing than the other stuff we're seeing from this team.

I ended up with just under a half gallon this go around. Here is the yield for this weekend. weβll give it a go this coming weekend again. Commercially produced syrup should last basically forever. The conditions under which itβs produced/bottled + their care will do that. The time this stuff is boiled will kill anything in there. Due to the sugar content, bottles must be sterilized before they are used. Clearly there are exceptions, but itβs like canning- itβs done to preserve food βforeverβ. Even home stuff should, but care of production isnβt nearly the same as something that has to follow regulations There is only one time to tap: end of winter. Specifically when the days are above freezing and the nights are below. Itβs a window of about a month. Depending on weather, late February to early April. This year I tapped trees early March and this coming weekend will be my last batch. This winter was weird. It was cold until early March and then we had an odd warm snap mid-month. It was unseasonably warm (ski season came to a very abrupt halt), highs in Vermont in the mid 60s and most of that time it never froze. This coming week is supposed to be more normal.

I feel like someone else called this team soft - and they really are. I know @Zepol87 called me out for pointing some of this at Gregg. And at this point it is fully on Poch and these guys. BUT I will point at Gregg for this. This team was under him for 6 years. And in that time he made this team soft. He didn't challenge anyone. He didn't make people earn their spots, he gave everyone what they had. And it's carrying over to these guys now. It's changed at times with an infusion of new blood. I mean Balogun did come in and play with a lot more fire than others. We also saw it a little when the team has their interim coaches in 2023. But when they brought back Gregg we got the same old, same old. The USSF wants a soft team, they got it. But now this is on Poch. He has to give this team some identity. I know it's only been like ... what 8 games? and only 6 with the A team, but he has to fix this fast. Because 2026 is coming in hot and it's not looking good.

Pfft. This is on this team and Poch now. These guys are damn soft. Oh and

They were doing the same in Saint Johnsbury near where weβre at. Thereβs a Maple Museum there. I think they have their sugar shack going today.

Session number two is going to heck of a lot better today. Weβre well into the production process. Things are looking great. Had to use the old set up because I forgot my new tray. But thatβs all good. This works really well tried and true. Setup getting wood Sap in the buckets Thickening up and getting close. I might get a half gallon today.

It's called ball watching. End of a game you gotta keep your mind right - he had a brain fart. And honestly, you gotta wonder if his move back to the MLS combined with his age isn't affecting his play. And frankly, he isn't going to be there next year - he's old. He had his run in 2022, he won't be on the USMNT except as the last man on the bench in 2026. Let's also not let Scally off the hook here, he has to get back after the pass is off at 0:04 and he has to get back quick and into position. He tracks in way too slow and too narrow helping leave Waterman open.

Don't get me wrong guys - this loss sucked, but a few things to hopefully get you all off the ledge: 1. This isn't our full squad. We were down a bunch of first teamers. Let's be fair on this. 2. We have a long way to go before the World Cup. This team is only now learning Poch's scheme 3. We are still less than a year of having Beerholder's stink on this team. Let's give this all some time. Yeah, this sucks. but I have faith we'll figure shit out.
-
We had 12. I missed most of the game, but I am shocked to not see Gio get any time. The guy is kind of what you need in a game like this. That he didn't play was kind of baffling, IMHO.

I really don't see the draw of the ASG. It doesn't mean anything, but more importantly - who is it? If it was a top Europe team - they MIGHT play their B+/A- squad. But I'm reading MLS vs. LIGA MX, so you might be posting in this thread next ...

I just got a turntable, so this is a new question from me: Any of you guys hook up a turntable to a home theater + the Sonos system as a whole? I want to know the best way to hook it up: Turntable > Receiver > Sonos Turntable > Sonos > Receiver I want to be able to pump the turntable to the house, but I really want to prioritize the sound stage in the basement over the Sonos. Thoughts?

So exactly what are these repercussions? Do tell? Her book is a NY Times bestseller.
