    I will tap about 75 more in the morning & be all tapped. Just a little over 3500 taps. Tubing damage was very bad this year. Looks like some very busy days & sleepless nights coming.

    I have about 1/3 of my taps in. Still not running great but steady. Alot of the trees I tapped today we're not running or barely wet. A few running good. Rain is to start soon. That might kick it in.
