Began tapping yesterday and finished what I could get to tonight. 243 buckets so far and there is one section of woods at the bottom of a hill I can not get to because of the snow. I should have about 260 once I can get to them. There is about a foot of snow and the Mule just can't handle it up hill. Got to test the RO again after the freeze fiasco-works fine with the new pump. While tapping tonight, some of the yard trees were running really hard. All that's left to do is rinse out the collection drum, bulk tank, and evaporator. 30 minutes and I will be ready! Probably be boiling Friday night. Here we go!!! Good luck to everybody.

Good luck Dan! It's good to hear your trees are running. I hope it is warm enough tomorrow so I can turn the pump on and flush lines.

Well the trees didn't cooperate over night-nothing to collect. I did get the bulk everything rinsed and ready to go. Gas mixed and transfer pump checked. It is now go time!!!
