First time this year the releaser cycled. 140 gallons from 200 trees on Vacuum and another 30 from 50 buckets. It seemed to slow way down so I killed the pump. Neighbor has 350 taps on the shady side and got zilch.

Collected 3000 gallons today, and still coming in but very slow which tells me the ground is still very froze, bring the rain.
Had a fair run yesterday made around 8 gallons of syrup last night. Just came from the shack and it looks like it has pickup this morning with 3' plus of snow in the woods we need some sun to get the frost out and let the trees run. BUT it looks like this weekend was a great start small boils get all the equipment dialed in , walk lines fix vac leaks and hopefully get ready for the monster runs this week.
I got 3300 gallons yesterday and it ran all night. At six this morning it was running 175 GPH. It has been raining very very hard for hours.

Spud, how do you move your sap? How big is the tank? How far do you go with it?Quote:

Made a few gallons off the 2% permeate, going to fire up the Tsunami around 1 today finish off the huge run we he yesterday (sarcasm).
Our diagraphm pump pulled in more sap than or old milk pump go figure
