good to hear from you to chris, been one of the buisiest summers ever for me work wise so nothing maple related got done. just got back from minnesota on the
5th was ice fishing and practicing up on boiling soda consumption! I am behind the ball big time this year so this snow is a blessing. good luck to all.
Started tapping today!! Put 100 in and will finish up tomorrow with another 200. Sap was running well!
well, my woods is full of bad ju ju this year. I went to pump 600 gal of sap on thursday and discovered a tree rat had chewed a hole in my pump line:o after about 400 gal:cry:. line is 2500 ft long and the rat decided to chew it 35 ft up at the highest point. well that is fixed now so i go to start the vac yesterday am and dicovered the motor was still running but the pump was not turning. the pully was laying on the ground destroyed with the belts and the pump was locked up sucked a vane luckily it didnt gernade the shell, so my partner is going to get a vane set this am and hopefully will be back in buisness by noon.
Wow! hope you have everything up and running! Weathers lookin good this week!
got everything back on line saturday afternoon. woods has been running steady but not hard vac has not shut off since tuesday running 24hg. boiled yesterday for a few hours made over 10 gal. still fancy, will finish today. made 17 gal. fancy saturday & sunday. looks like a re charge coming on friday night & saturday.
just checked the thermometer on the house reading 28* looks like a little run today.
Collected another 275 gallons tonight, man it was windy!! Most of my buckets are now windsocks! I'll boil tomorrow, then start hot packing some syrup.
Chris, your a brave soul gathering in the windstorm!! gotta do what you gotta do though. boiled another 400 gal yesterday for close to ten gal. should be at the 50 mark now. well I had plans of stringing another 30 some taps worth of tubing this weekend but was awakend by my wife at 5:00 this morning telling me "hurry up the living room ceiling is like a waterfall!!!!" shure as $*%t a lake in the living room! hot water pipe (cpvc) from upstars bathroom has failed I think i have a tree rat in the house cause the plumbing is only a month old!!!!!:o
Bummer way to spend your Saturday. Hope you find a quick fix.Quote:
