Anyone still at it in NW lower/trav city area?

[TC matt]

Had a great year so far - 15 gallons off of 35 taps. Thinking of calling it a season given the weather, but don't want to pull out too early. I'm 5 mi west of TC and don't have a sap hydrometer. Thoughts?

If you have wood, and arent too sleep deprived yet, keep going. I dont quit till my trees bud. IM near kingsley

sap has really slowed down. But if your trees havn't budded keep going. I am 20 miles west of TC.

... and buy a sap hydrometer

Sap is barely trickling today:( Going to check it soon to see what the sugar content is yesterdays sap was down to 1.3% and with weather above freezing for the next 7 days I think that this is it:( I made 115 gallons this year on 600 taps. Thought I would do better than that. Kinda screwy weather here this year. Good luck to all those who are still pllugging away, Mike
