Took off my first syrup yesterday. 43 litres of medium.
Froze some the night before and they ran a little and will gather that today. Barely froze last night, so I don't expect much of a run today.
Why do we have to get so much friggin rain? Now they've got rain forecasted for mid week and it looks like 3 nights aren't going to freeze. Looking like last year, but just not as hot.
Put in about 130 taps on Saturday. Excited to see the holes start to drip by the time the spiles were in!
Not happy about the foot of heavy wet snow that accumulated during the week- had to rebreak the 4 wheel trails. The winch got quite a work-out :(
Will hopefully get the evaporator fired up this weekend...in the meantime, it sure is nice to hear the tinking of sap drops hitting the buckets.
Looks like perfect sap weather the next couple of days. Gathered over 400gal today. My tanks are full and I can't boil till tomorrow afternoon:o:o. Looks like it will be a long night tomorrow:D:rolleyes:

duplicate seem to have lost my message
Took off 52 litres today. Didn't hardly run a drop today. Gathered this afternoon and my help didn't show. Should of gathered first and then boiled I guess. Got in 330 gals., so I've got around 400 to boil tomorrow.
Doesn't feel like it's going down to -5 tonight. I'll be surprised if it freezes with this cloud cover.
not sure where the heck my post went.. but I'll do this again..
No sap today or yesterday really. Too warm at night. Supposed to freeze tonight but still very warm out.
probably collect 70 gallons this week total... 1st batch of almost syrup in the finishing pot but \i'll wait until the next boil to finish it off.
debating adding another 20 or so taps to the party.
We got the vac going on the first 240 taps today.:) All in all about 200 gallons.
Going to use most of that to flush the RO. :(
Going to be real cold tonight, minus 10 locally, and only plus 3 tomorrow. Maybe a small run will start.
Edit 9:00 PM and it's minus 5 already.
I collected between saturday and sunday around 1100Litres. it was a good start and I sugared the pans in. unfortunately we had a late start due to some problems with the evap but we got them sorted and we are rocking away. I hope to get some finished in a day or two
Froze around -2 here. Hopefully enough to power the trees again.
Supposed to freeze tonight and then not till the weekend. That sucks!
And Environment Canada says we could have almost T-shirt weather this week. Up to 57 a couple days!
