Collected over 400 gallon so far since first of Feb on 32 taps, just finished up the end of 8 gallon of syrup. Picked up a nasty cold last week during the wet cold nights, but the meds the doc gave me is kicking in, so I might keep them in. looking forward to a good run coming up. Learning a lot since last year evaporating on top of 55 gallon drums. The new arch is working great, the next upgrade would be a small building for the arch to protect ME from the colt wet weather, and a vacuum system. I think the cold was caught driving around on the golf cart through the woods empting buckets. I told the wife, Just think honey some people still do this with horses and buggies. This site and all the fellow tappers have been a great help. have learned a lot. Thanks
