There’s a lot of ice sailing going around New England. A bunch of us are sailing on Lake Massabesic. It’s a smallish lake, but the wind is good and we have the yacht club right there, so we open it up, crank up the heat, so on cold days you can go in and warm up. The big lakes – Winnipesaukee or Sunapee, you’re forced to go back to your truck at the public launches and warm up. So sure, we don’t have the big ice, but we have the ammenities. And where else are you going to get views like this?

Yet, time is a luxury you can buy any more of. I can only do so much in a weekend, or even year. I don’t need the money, but I also don’t need the items taking up so…

I had misplaced my normal cigar lighter and was in the market for a new one. I wanted one that was going to stay in my smoking shed, so I was ok with going larger. I found exactly what I was looking for in this Lotus Cigar lighter. It’s big! The first thing I noticed when I opened up the top is a large 4 jet burner for lighting cigars. Flip out the bottom and you have a two different sized hole punch for cigars But there’s more than that… On the side is a very sharp cutter So it cuts cigars in multiple different ways, it lights with ease,…

New shipment of spouts, used buckets and lids for sap collection, hydrometers and stainless steel testing containers. Aiming for 40 taps this season. My goal is to produce the most, highest quality syrup I can as a hobbyist backyard sugarer, with small hobby type equipment. Is sugarer even a word? If not I like it and will continue to use it.
