sap running well

Collected a bit yesterday and a whole bunch today. tomorrow looks to be great as well!

Hope everyone is hanging in there!

I noticed the same here. I was getting nervous last week when the nighttime temps were not getting below freezing. Things look good now though. How is that hybrid pan working out for you?

working well. I should be adding the floatbox tomorrow but even with my "keen eye" it had it pumping out 21 gph on Sunday. small wood and constant firing. I'm trying to work on getting better/longer draws. one of the problems is the draw compartment loses 3/4 of an inch due to the placement of the flues which are flush with the back of the pan.

It's been a good week here in Durham. Some trees seem to be in constant flow. Although the sugar is running at 1.5 to 1.75.

I'll have to check my sugar in the morning. I knew it dropped last week but was hoping for at least 2 after the hard freeze. 31.9 degrees now with wind which should subside tomorrow.

I had to check. I re-calibrated the refrac and tested... and it's a hair above 2.

boiled 60 gallons this morning but I collected 70....sometimes I wish mother nature offered her blessings so my weekend help would be around....

Collected 23 gallons today off of 12 taps. Looks like im gonna be swamped again this weekend

Collected 25 gallons this evening everything was overflowing, Jim

Attachment 7235Attachment 7226Wow what a run I just collected 425 gallons in the last 48 hours. I collected yesterday afternoon and the buckets were overflowing this morning. The sad part of today is the daffodils are starting to stick out there heads and a saw a flock of geese heading north this morning. Warmer weather is coming and the season will soon be a memory. Although its gonna be a happy memory.
