OUCH! Sorry to see that.
If you need a "fair" outer windshield frame to swap out I have a couple unbroken ones.

Thanks for the offer Greg. It's not to difficult a repair so I'll just fix the one I have.

I spent the morning skidding pine logs out of the woods with Sparky.  I have a set of skidding tongs for my tractor that I can drop on the pintal hitch.  I didn’t want to use the tractor because of an angled approach that had the possibility to roll it.  The pine will feed my maple syrup boiler in a few months.

We got almost a foot of snow Monday night and Tuesday morning.  It was a perfect opportunity to put Joe Friday's Jeep to work clearing the driveway and punching a path out of our subdivision to the county road.  Our contracted snow plow outfit does not get to us until the second day after a snowfall, so we kinda hafta open the road up by ourselves.  I take the driver's door off so I can use the low-mounted mirror to see behind me when I back up.  It also helps to have the door off when I climb in and out with all my winter clothes on.  Now if I could just move the seat back a few inches......

I picked up a, new to me, larger boiler for this season.  Goal is 10 gallons of syrup this Spring.  It is one of the “old” crafts I enjoy the work of.

How many gallons of sap has to be boiled to get 10 gallons of syrup?   

My grandfather used to make maple syrup.   It was a fascinating process to a young kid.

Between 45 and 60 gallons of sap per gallon of syrup depending on the type of trees you use.  Sugar maples have a higher sugar content, red maples less so.  This year I will end up using a mix of trees as I go up in capacity.  I anticipate using 25-30 trees this year and boiling once or twice a week.

I just noticed that I have been a member of this site for 9 years now.  That is scary.

One mud pit, two stream crossings, and about two miles.
