6 taps in, all on buckets. 7 more to go... time got away from me and I don't have the milk bottles on hand for these.

The way my boys go through milk, it should be a few more days. Or, I'll hit my local "ace is the place" and treat us to more 2 gal buckets.

No. Last boil was a week ago Thursday. Sap ran again for a few days, then nothing. I came away with 6 bottles (8oz) on that's boil. Pulled the taps last Saturday, given nothing had been running and our 10 day forecast showed nothing below freezing. Also, flowers, if not buds, were starting to pop. But, go figure, the last couple days a few of the trees have decided to run down the trunk.

Buckets and taps cleaned and put away.
