well had the first boil of the season today, was really excited to fire up my new to me 3x8 evaporator, was a good feeling to finally have some hard work pay off. boiled 350 gal got a couple gallons of that liquid gold, i was happy it graded between a vermont fancy and grade A medium amber really happy with that cowing to to cold to run tomorrow, the weather for next week is looking better so i'm crossing my fingers. happy sugaring

I thought it would be too cold today too but with the sun in the AM we had a pretty good run.
