Looks like something Dr. Loveless cooked up to distill some new-fangled stuff he calls gasoline.

I stumbled on an episode of my 600 lb. (or is it 900?) life a while ago, and when the person profiled said what his daily intake was, he included a quart of maple syrup that he drank strait down. IIRC, his daily calorie intake was probably around what I eat in a week!

Musta been that grade A light stuff, it's weak enough to drink straight.
I like Grade B, the stuff with the transparency of used motor oil. That's why I dumb it down with coffee sometimes, otherwise the high carb concentration makes my teeth numb.
At least I think it's the carbs.
Yeah, my late Vermont born and raised b-in-law always said the darker stuff was better.

Very early still, here, but just starting a bit. I noticed that a few individual trees that have always turned early, sometimes in August, haven't this year. Don't know what that means, but is interesting.
