    02/16/13 It’s On FEBRUARY 15, Late afternoon. The crew opened the door to the sugarhouse. Slipped off their packs onto the cement floor, dropped spent batteries in the white pail. A: Come on in and get warm by the fire. B: Don’t need to, it was warm up on the hill. A: Did it run today? J: The tapholes were wet. First day they’ve been wet. It’s on. (Eyebrows flick up like a light switch: face turns on.) B: A couple holes filled up with sap, there was the occasional drip. A: Where were you tapping today? J: Up on Herbie. Sank up to my waist in snow every fifth step – or maybe every fifteenth step. Rest of the time, up to my knees. B: Thing is, on Morningside there was only two inches of mashed potato snow, then when we wrapped around the hill onto Herbie Road, we were into two feet of powder. A: If that was me, I’d be cursing that I didn’t have my snowshoes on. B: Oh yeah, we did plenty of that. J: Guttural grunts, mostly. The most manly growls we could concoct. GHUHHHHH.
