40:1 ratio is the standard, but it lasts forever, just reboil to get rid of nasties.

Whoof, that's a lot of energy.

Yeah this seems to be similar to "hand loading" ammunition. You're doing it for the love, and not to be cost efficient.

I made surp last year. It was fun but I would never do it again. Too many hours watching a pot boil.

 

I tapped trees with $5 of hose and hardware from home depot.

Yeah, it's for gifts and to use.   I'd be better off financially to just buy it from someone else.

 

That said, the real treat is when we make candy from it.  Hoo boy, I love that.

That may be the case for making syrup on a small scale, but I save a ton of money by reloading handgun and rifle ammo.   The savings paid off the investment in reloading equipment many, many years ago, and for anything I can load on a progressive press, it's not a bad return on my time, either.   And I've done all of the load tweaking, so it's more accurate, too.

 

Target shotgun loads are the only thing I don't bother to reload anymore.  The cost savings are too small relative to all of the cheap trap and skeet loads on the market.

I didn't know you could get anything for $5 at Home Depot. Except maybe a Mexican.

Even the Mexicans want $15 now!

That's ridiculous. China is really screwing us.

Ok, fri.

But Tuesday could be a whopper!

Keeping my fingers crossed!

Anywhere from 12" to 20" to rain. Lol

Looks like we might get blasted.

Wahoo!!!!

It's gonna be a dumper

Understatement if this model is correct.

 

So we only got about 1/32 of an inch of snow....lol

Beer, we are definitely going to need more beer!

Ck!

That's the worst case I've seen so far

I went out to dig my own grave, then realized it'll be full of snow and useless. So I came back inside to drink beer instead. 

You guys, it's cool. This storm will be a dud. I went out and made sure the snowblower was ready.

WeatherNJ has an updated map:

 

 

I'm right in the 6-10" band.

I'm still calling for 2 feet. 

If you only had one you'd be an ambi turner

There's a 25% chance of 20-24" by your FD. NOAA has Randolph at 11-17". NOAA has Montvale getting 12-20" and a Blizzard watch. My brother will have a lot of shoveling to do.
