I was stringing my 5/16" mainline today (not that easy without a second person, bit of a learning curve!) and then decided to put in one tap just to see. Nothing at all. I am new to tapping, so I'm not sure if I'm correct in that if sap was flowing it would start flowing immediately? Well, nothing for the first hour or so, I will check again in a few days. I should point out that my trees are on a very steep north facing hill, so I am guessing we will be behind schedule by a couple of weeks compared to other sites.

Anyways. That's my update.

Happy syruping all!

Tapped 500 today and they all were running. Most east or southeast facing .....trying to get ready for next week.
