Highly Infected

I knew all along, or at least I had my suspicions. I have a serious full blown infection called Mapleus sugaris. I went to see a expert today. Someone who has had his diagnosis since he was nose high to an evaporator pan. He said I have all the symptoms:

1. Counting buckets and taps all fall.
2. Reading everything and anything that relates to Maple sugaring.
3. Checking out the sugar houses of others with such infections.
4. Being addicted to the weather channel.
5. Love the smell of maple in the morning.
6. Knowing that a hydrometer can be your best friend.
7. Having full knowledge of all the dates when we first set our taps, the amount of sap we collected, and the amount of maple syrup produced.

Can the season start any sooner?
