Seeing temps in the next few weeks is it really time to start taping? I have about 40 or so, about 30 on tubing.

I went for it and im a small timer too and got almost 200 gallons of sap this weekend.....everything I read says the holes wont dry up and if you are motivated to do some boiling, why not?

That's with CV spouts... I agree and went all in this past weekend. Boiled yesterday and looking at the clear sky, might boil tonight as well to get my first draw-off of gold-colored.

I tapped in half mine on Sunday, and got good sap then, and a bit yesterday. Low last night was 25 degrees, so fingers crossed for a run today. (Stuck at work today, so I won't know until tonight.) My best guess is that I'll be boiling on Thursday the 4th., which is the earliest I've ever started. Good luck all.
