Ah, not, not that sort of tap. 'Tap' as in 'torneira', if that's the word you guys use. It's for getting the sap out of the tree for making maple syrup.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

We kept cows but no goats.
Did not get to milk a goat.
One point.
PS: in my locale, we tapped birch trees for birch sap, just as good as maple (too cold for maples - they freeze up North). So, have done tree tapping and count it as done.
Maple tapping is too narrow of a view; there is more to a tree tapping.
