you have some very good trees although the sugar content can vary through the season and year to year you have some nice trees

It's good we run 3.1-3.4 on average every year.

If you use the "Rule of 86" and divide 86 by 3.3 you get 26.06 gallons of sap to 1 gallon of syrup. Sounds like you're right on the money. 39 gallons of sap would give you 1½ gallons of syrup with 6 gallons or so of sap still in the pan, sweetened up and ready for your next boil.
Nice job.
