I'm an unplugger too, but my partner argued that unplugging and replugging electronics daily shortens the life of said electronic because of the small surge in power that occurs each time it's plugged back in, and that this life shortening and extra energy flow is more wasteful than just leaving the item plugged in when not in use. I haven't put much effort into determining if this is true or not.
The Champion Evaporator was first manufactured in Hudson, Ohio in 1881, and in June of 1890, G.H. Grimm secured a lease for land alongside the railroad in Rutland, Vermont and over that summer erected a 120 by 40-foot one-story building.
There was another, completely unrelated, Champion Evaporator Company that operated in Berkshire, Vermont and later Richford, Vermont about this same time in the 1880s. This company was relatively short lived with evaporators in production from 1882 to about 1887.
Puddles are easy to hydroplane on when you are going at high speeds. This is especially true if you have snow tires, which do very poorly in wet conditions. Please slow down and drive safely.
I have had fantastic experiences with Auto Craftsmen just outside of Montpelier. My mom and I have been going to them for years, and they've always been transparent, super friendly and honest.
Consumer Reports says BJ's and Target's brand maple syrup tastes better than Vermont Maple syrup. What say you?

Reply to comment by croissanteating in Fine people of VT please settle a household debate for me: should an opened bottle of maple syrup be stored in the refrigerator or cupboard? by Kashmir79
Does "aging" unopened really make any difference? Seems like much wouldn't happen in a sealed plastic or glass container.
