The best sugaring equipment for making maple syrup!

rflagg · 06-25-2004, 04:33 PM

In honor of tag, I started this thread here.

Now, uh, since I know nothing of sugaring equipment or making maple syrup (though in 5th grade I did take a field trip of a maple syrup making place) - anyone else know what's the best equipment out there?

...And I can't wait to read the first complaint of "...what does this have to do with the PRIUS?!??!"

Enjoy Tag!

Thanks, rflagg! Now for our first quiz:

Fred’s House of Pancakes

• Fred has pancake houses in Seattle and Youngstown, Ohio.

The demand functions for pancakes are:

Seattle
Q = 100-10P

Youngstown
Q = 80 – 20 P

• MC = 0.

• What price should Fred charge if the Uniform Pancake Pricing Act becomes law?

• What prices should Fred charge otherwise?

$3,000 over MSRP, definately.

But the real question is if pancakes can marry one another or if they should only marry waffles. And if they do get married to one another will they go to IHOP for their sins? :gay:

Now of counse to make maple syrup you need the right maple trees, collectively usually called a sugarbush. The northern counties of Minnesota let them out on an annual basis. My father-in-law and one of his buddies have done this for several years but will be giving up their area this winter due to age. If anyone is interested it is just north of Two Harbors. :mrgreen:

Come on guys, what does this topic have to do with the Prius?

I'm so tempted to leave our Off Topic area called this forever so that in 5 years when we're still on PriusChat a newbie will come on and ask why this forum is called "Fred's House of Pancakes" and we'll have a great old time rehashing the Gay Marriage Thread

Of course, that thread will still be going at that point because there's no way I'm going to close it. EVER.

Absolutely!

Then, after explaining Fred's House of Pancakes and the Gay Marriage Thread, we can explain "eyebrow shaving", "toenail pulling", and a variety of other arcane references.

In fact, we could probably get a movie script out of this. I'll suggest some titles and, hopefully, others will add a few of their own:

1) Bowling for Toenails

2) Dodgeball

3) Fredenheit 9/11
