    Tapped 10 maples today. I have 2 more to go, but ran out of buckets.

    The snow is still high. I should have worn shoes (snowshoes), but didn't want to bother. I regret not bothering.

    I think that tomorrow it will be time to start tapping maple trees. Last year I tried tapping two trees. This year I have 12 marked and ready to go.

    Random thought: A 300 year old Stradivarius violin just sold for 11 million dollars.

    That's one heck of a fiddle!

    If I remember the Stradivarius violins were built from wood that was cut at a particular time where due to some unique weather events, the grain of the wood was tighter. I think also that they haven't been able to replicate the glue used either.

    I heard a tale that Stradivarius mixed ground quartz into the varnish. This may be just a tall tale though.

    There had been a lot of lumber harvested in the Great Lakes from first-growth trees that sank in deep bays during the logging days and were at depths that preserved them. I have a couple of banjo bridges made from that wood and the tone is distinctly different from bridges made with modern wood.

    Now I have a beautiful harp, but I'm stuck holiday traveling so all I've been able to do it tune and a little lite strumming. Sounds very good, though!

    I'm glad that you like your new harp. Hopefully you will get to practice some with it soon.

    My harp is on the delivery truck and on its way to my door!

    What size will it be?

    A lap harp with 29 strings, which means it is a LARGE lap harp. 28+ strings is generally a floor harp (sits on the floor when played, as opposed to being held on the lap).

    Harps are not standardized (like a violin or a guitar), so they are more identified by the number of strings than by other identifying features.

    Thread '1 fun thing I did today'

    Post one fun thing you did today.

    Rules:
    * Only one fun thing per day (if you post 20 things, people will get jealous).
    * you may post the same fun thing every day (but after 6 - 7 weeks people will probably stop reading your posts)
    * you may lie if you want to (how would anybody know?).
    * if you haven't done anything fun yet, there's still time! Scamper off, do something fun, then scurry back and post.
    * if you can't think of a fun thing to do, try pushing an ice cube around the floor with your nose. If that's fun, cool! post. If it's not fun, the rest of us will be amused thinking about...

    Thread 'What made you sad today?'

    Have been paying attention to the real estate listings from the area I grew up in. Businesses left long ago, there are no doctors left and now only a small medical clinic, the people who remained were all older and retired.
