I tapped the maple tree in our backyard. As I do every year. This is our last year at that house. I wanted to tap it one last time. I make maple syrup with it. Unfortunately, I broke the chalumeau while hammering it into the tree. The cover fell on the ground. I fixed it with a zip-tie. We've had that chalumeau and bucket for years. Sorry, I did not take a picture. My phone was inside and it's a long walk to the other end of our backyard.
