I got 24 taps out with pails and collected over 20 gallons today. Looks like this is going to be the start of something big:o

Finally got some syrup.
Boiled 25 +/- gallons last week and did another 10+ on Sat.
Finished off on Sun. Ended with 2 1/2 quarts of syrup.
May not be much but for my first time, I'm happy.

Weather did not allow for much "outdoor" boiling this weekend. Ran about 15 gallons through the drum before rain started. Collected 50+ gallons the last 3 days and will boil again tomorrow and Thursday.
