Sounds like you’re doing well and having fun Andy. Have you considered reaming your tap holes for the upcoming runs? Do you plan to expand your tap count in the future?

Woke up to about 6 inches of snow this morning. As much as I hate snow, this should really help to keep the season going.

I just looked at the 30 day forecast for my area. After this 5 day cold spell, we still will have 5 more freezing nights all the way to April 5th. If that’s the case, I should get sap to about April...
Haynes was a funny guy. I’m not sure where he went. Saps still running at 8 pm but I expect it to freeze up real soon. I’m still hoping to go till mid April. Time will tell.

My woods is just starting to freeze up. I got 850 gallons in 7 hours. Sap is only testing at 1.3%. This is not what I hoped for. It appears my sugar is going to be very low for the rest of the...
