Merlin is always mentioned. I've never tried them, but prices seem good.

Almost as surprising is the fact that we've had no snow as well.

January is over. It’s February, and winter is still lollygagging. A pretend winter. Fake winter.

In one of my former lives, Feb. was maple syrup month. Start tapping around the 10th, and ending when the days and nights are too warm for the sap to flow. Nice way to end the winter.

Are you doing assisted at all to try an increase this amount? Typically I’ll do unassisted the first two sets to see where I am at. I will then set a goal for the day like 25 or 30 and do them assisted until I reach that goal.
You can use a chair for assisted, I bought a band at liddle for 4 dollars that I tie around the bar and helps with assisting.

I average less than 1k a month, perfect for leasing.
