Hey Ed
I had 31 @ 5:30 in the chicken coop and now I have 33. I just got back from collecting got 35 gals in the last 48 hrs. Some of buckets had ice in them also there was some ice in the tubeing. I gonna cook off what I got this afternoon.
I'm all done. Just finished bottling. This years total is just over 9 gallons of syrup with 586 gallons of sap collected. I used up one cord of softwood. Last year I made 18 gallons. All and all I can't complain. Now I'll have some time to burn brush before fishing begins.
I got 125 taps in so far. I going to finish up with 25 more on Monday.
Let's hope for a good season.
Collected 75 gals so far. The trees hidden in the woods haven't done much.
Boiled off 90 gallons on Friday. Collected another 75 since and boiling that off today.
The sap has been flowing like crazy. I've boiled four out of the last five days. Bottled up three gals so far with another five gals in the canner. Hopefully the weather continues to give us some good runs.
Tomorrows the day. The drill has been ready for weeks hopefully the weather cooperates. Let the good times roll.
I'm glad I bought a pellet stove for this winter. Because it has lasted FOR EVER !! I still haven't had a boil yet. So far I have collected 80 gallons. Hopefully the weather will cooperate before it's too late. Looking for a good run the next couple of days.
