"ALL YOU WILL EVER WANT IS A LITTEL MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER HAVE, but I am gointg to TRYYYYYALL" I second that. Your persistance is paying off with those new buckets it sounds. I am glad you at least got your releaser located (as of now) and back at later date.
I think I need to go see a shrink and talk about my depression from this past season. LOL. I must be in denial. trees budding and all taps still in. Havnt gotten a drop of sap in weeks but was hoping for cold to come and it never came. It crept up on me and now I have moved on with work and dont have time to pull them. But there is always the weekend.
I am still in the hunt for one last boil to test some last minute adjustments on rig. iI someone has some or knows of someone with low sugar sap or decent too, they want to unload or sell please let me know.

Gave Hoit road and Rte.11 an attitude adjustment with the dewalt,,they came right into it,,running well,,Hill still chugging along,,buckets were even doing something,,,,,have 2000 gallons between the woods and the sugarhouse tanks,,brushed the flues in the evaporator-pans alot cleaner than they were,,,gonna rest up tonight and boil hard tommrow,,,see if I can fill 2 barrels,,,dont know anyone in my area still going,,,,,,,

I got the drill out today too. Most have thrown in the towel around here but I want to make some mersh. My vacuum pump is still running.
-
Between late yesterday and today got 500 gal, will boil in the am. On our last boil was still making a nice B ! Sugar has drop off quite a bit with this run. Jim L.
-
I was surprised to see 1.5 to 2% in the tanks last night,,probably dropped a littel overnight ,,but will still make something,,,left the coffemaker in the sugarhouse so I gotta get down there now (for once a plan that is working)
GOOD LUCK TO ALL STILL IN THE GAME!!

Parker,
Keep up the good work! Just got the drill out, Some of the taps on the old bush are getting lazy and it looks like a couple more good days are coming. Gonna hit the 1000 gallons or BUST!
-
got to love those stuubies and adapters. no drilling needed. big sap lighter syrup. 155 gallons in drums in 8 hours of sap run start. r/o very slow 990 per hour yesterday.makes for long night waiting
-
Jeff- you must be over .5 gal per tap by now? sounds like a good season for ya...
-

The moter on the pump in Hill (wingdong) blewup, Ray had to put the spare on,,,, started boiling at 10am done at 4am,,,greener wood is slow going but you have to work with what you have!! 3150 gals of sap,(real nice run yesterday-250 gal off the buckets!) started with empty pans,,so had to sweeten them,,,filled a barrell and a half,,Ray and Steve have hauled in 1000 today,,try to boil it a littel later on tonight,,nedd a litttel more sleep befor I hit that...
Supposed to be real cold the next 2 nights!!! Had the salamander on the sugarhouse floor at 5AM (sure sine for me the end is not too far off-happens every year-big fellow this year) STAY AFTER IT
