Finally put in about 200 taps on vacuum and collected about 150 gallons of sap in about 12 hrs. Not sure if the barometric pressure of this storm helped, but every tap was was flowing. Finally had to shut off the vacuum when a tree fell on the mainline otherwise might still be flowing. Going to clean up the mess on Thursday and finish putting the vacuum taps in and start on the buckets. Looks like a good weekend and almost perfect temps next week.

Wondering how the season was ending up for you? Drove into town the other day and saw buckets out at your place. Pump problems or extra buckets...hope you got/are getting what you need... I pulled my taps and finshed up last week, of course i started early... Made a little less than 20 gals...18 if i rember right, that's a lot for my l'ill pan...have sold almost half of it so far...hope u had a good season, finish strong!
