I should be done with those by mid morning since i only have 140 left to do for right now. then i may add another 200 to it if things work out.looks like a freeze for the weekend then two night week of sugaring coming our way here.well i will keep you all post of how things are going. cpmaple

Well got all tapped in yesterday 416 total on vac now to deal with the releaser that is leaking by on the dump door. Headed to St. Albans in a bit to get new gaskets to see if that fixes it or not should. Then i may run a few more lats off the last main line to hit 500 on vac. Ran really well yesterday on gravity got 430 gallons of sap tested at 1.9%. Fixed a few leaks but well have everything 100% for tuesdays run should be boiling by end of week. let the sap run hard
