I hope all of the part time sugar makers have some vacation time left. Next week looks like the sap will run all week.

Does look OK, a bit shy of Sunlight with marginal temps. I may start this afternoon with 1/2 of my trees and see how it goes.

My taps are starting to dribble today with a bit in the buckets. I have a few Norways in my yard that I tap, of all my trees, they are the ones waking up first. Go figure...

Started with a few on sat afternoon and to my suprise they were running, waiting on pan gasket that was supposed to be here fri but didnt show. go figure! but the weather here is supposed to cool off next week again so any i get will probably sit in the tank and we will pull off the ice and concetrate that way.

For a cheap pan gasket, I use Sill plate sealer. Fiberglass that comes in 3.5 inch widths and ever how long. Pipe wrap kits use the same.
