First sap of the season today...got about 150 gals at the new bush and about 75 gals of yuck in the other...hoping to finish flushing that one tomorrow and turn the sap pump on...up to about 2200 in so far...the last bush is looking pretty rough...tons of storm damage from the snow...the
Last 400 feet of line got torn down and is completely buried...hoping I can get the other bush done so I can start the last on sat..have to admit that this year has kicked my butt and I haven't boiled anything yet...

nobody has boiled anything yet. I was over there yesterday to check bees and greased the pump on the filter press. Thanks by the way. bees are alive
-
Just finished collecting for the day...up to 350 gals in the tank and turning the done flushing the second bush...time to put that one in the tank tomorrow...only need a decent run and will start sweetening the pans tomorrow night...HOPING!!...everything I can cross is crossed...may not draw anything off but will finally have some steam...hope everyone else is rocking...

-
Have roughly 2500 in now...only about 1000 gals of sap to this point...need about 1200 gals to sweeten...well, all we can do is keep the faith...

Turned the pumps on this morning not expecting much...never got much above 33 here with drizzle then snow...lo and behold I went to shut them down and I had 650 gals!!!...looks good for tomorrow as well...should be able to finish sweetening and might even make a few gals of syrup...YAY!!!...was getting a bit concerned...

Glad things are finally flowing a bit for you. Looking better up here too. I got up to some sap in my tanks today in Raymond. Had about 100 gallons total from 175 or so taps on 3/16 gravity. Just enough sap to sweeten for me. Pulled off a quart before it was all said and done. Kids are psyched. Hoping tomorrow will be a big sap day!
