I am just south of you Fanshawe Girl in Belmont. a nice day off as its been busy.. looks like tomorrow might start up again.

You should be able to use a chimney brush and start fresh. Usually chimney fires are from quite a bit of stifled(low O2) burning and green wood...even a piece of chain will do the trick. That's what...

Things have come alive here is SW ON. I always goto the eastern Ontario section because we are searching for a waterfront retirement home west of Ottawa and North of Kingston with maples! We are...

yep thats my thoughts as well.

Looks great wobble top! what did you boil to temp wise if you don't mind me asking?

sure looking like it...man I'm not ready! Could be a pre tap of 10 days coming up....wouldnt want to miss a free bee like that

I HEAR PEEEPERS, last boil today...about 35 litres from 38 taps. Not bad considering we thought it was over 3 weeks ago. OH and a gallon of walnut from 20 taps.

Gotta be the fact that my trees are all below grade ....:mad:

Rather disappointing 2 days so far...its not warming enough or the trees have had enough

They are warming as I write....drip drip drip....

You've got that right! I may need another fridge as a last ditch run be coming starting tomm and last 10 days or so.

16081We can not change the ways of others or what they do no more than we can change the weather day to day to get more sap...all is well..looks like it's warming up in southwestern Ontario. I hope...

SNAP! get a glass of syrup...add ever clear(180 proof) and cinnamon...warm it....take a sit in your most comfortable chair....breathe in breathe out.....all good.

Very interesting Indeed. I hope he contacts the local fire authorities so they can prepare the equipment manpower etc.

thats a good haul...I collected this morn...saps still good...120 Litres this morn and drip drip drip again now

That's pretty good!

all froze up here....would love another 3-4 day run...straightened all the walnut buckets and ready for sat mornin or sun morning when she comes

I hear you ...I near swamped my atv getting small amounts of sap this morning...I'm ready to throw in the towel.

...it tastes great...I had too much today....:(...once we get that reset it should lighten up even more.

Finished a little more today.....everything is clean, bracing for rain...hoping for a serious reset after the heatwave tomm. And I live on what becomes Avon road but West.

15786Trees have no idea what's up....weather be whacked! Here's one of today's finishes...darker

Just south and east of London ON

Is it possible they just needed another freeze? Or done? I should know if mine are done tomm. I'm hoping there's a few more days yet as all are well below road grade .

Yep same here...darker but nice....the weather is all over the place. Thought my trees had budded and was done but only a couple small ones have. I may still be in the game after last nights freeze...

yeah i think i might be toast also. I hate being in the armpit of Ont...i don't think the "old Rules" of tapping too early will ever apply again
