Bigsap Warning 2009

Me Too, HEEEELLLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alert Level Double Orange!!!!man Stations And Plan On Being There A While!!!!!!!!

Yeah BIGSAP coming out of our ears. The buckets didn't do much but the vacuum was pulling in the mother of all sap runs. Calling in sick today so I can stay home and play.

I have buckets running over and everything was empty 12 hours ago.

BIGGGG SAPPPP!!!- Running good here too guys. Just froze the other night and I got home and had 3000 gallons plus at 4pm from just that day. Was running hard too and ran all night and still running hard now. Made 50 gallons syrup last night in about 2 and a half hours. That sap was from other day. Had to quit running new sap in my ro tanks this morning or I was afraid I wouldnt get a batch worked up for this afternoon. Ro been running 13 hours and last I checked the 1500 gal tank was mostly full and it was putting 11% stuff back in it so must be a pretty sweet tank. Hope to make 100 gallons this afternoon. Not much time for sleep either. Got done boiling and had to go help my local syrup buddy fix an electrical problem so he could keep plugging and only got maybe 3 hours. Gotta be tough. Looks like next two weeks are nonstop sunami. Thats good, gotta FILL SOME BARRELLS. Theron

theron i made 300 gallons last nite big sap r/o washing now for next big run that is thawing now

Yupper - she's a runnin'. Had the tanks empty when I left for work yesterday morning. Temp was 32. By 5:00 tank was full - that's about a gallon and half per tap. Boiled that tank last night and she's close to full again.

I just gathered 610 gal 2 1/2 % sap from 245 roadside taps. I still have 400+ gallons to gather up from tubing taps.

Way to go Jon, sounds like you are having a good year.

Sounds like things are coming alive all over now. How about the rest of you guys up north? Things starting to happen? Brandon- Is your season about over. Jeff- You got the idea with the bigger Ro. That would sure be nice. Were gettin it done but litte on the tough side. Thats Ok though gotta work within your means. Are you in full swing now Jeff? Theron
