started tapping last night, about 5:45 stopped at 7:30, yes had to use the headlight. only about 440 more to go, put in about 60 last night, weather is going to be 30 today, 36 i think tomarrow (fri) 37 sat, and 40 sun, so i figured i would tap and work on getting the evap bricked at night and tanks put up at night, almost there, should get the little sugar bush done today, ive got about 15 drops to put in down there, should end up with about 150 + in that bush and around 350 in the big bush. hope to have it all tapped by sat morning, i will start tapping at 6:30 in the morning if need be to have it all done by noon, 6:30 isnt normal for me, (im a teenager 9 am is normal on a weekend) lol

I live in NH, but my cousin just built a sugarhouse and bought a new 2x4 Evap.

He is tapping (literally) on the Moretown-Waitsfield town line. He got 40 gallons of sap out of 40 taps yesterday (tues).
