‘Tis the Preseason

I am sure many of you are feeling the hectic chaos of next year’s season quickly approaching over and on top of the hustle and bustle of Christmas and New Year festivities.  I guess the North Pole is ahead on their toy-making schedule as Santa had a few spare hours to help tighten up some main lines and fix some vacuum leaks.

Our Ecolab team, Maskin Sidhu and Miranda Wacker, have also been hard at work sawing main lines free of last year’s windthrow, cutting in all new drops on 3 main lines, and replacing just the spouts on our other 3 production lines.

With Les’ winter forecast article in the back of my mind and still recovering from the deep freeze cold of last week, it’s hard to know what January, February, and March will bring us.  This I’m sure – it will be a frenzied push to be ready no matter how soon the first tapholes are drilled.
