boiled the last 225 gallons tonight...got just about 6 gals of nice dark B...the private stash picked the last possible moment to show up...checked taps tonight..got a little over 10 gallons from the first half and said screw it...however, I did put them back...something tells me that tomorrow will be a good one...I'll collect it, but I pulled the plug on the evap after we finished boiling tonight. too many other obligations to make more...final rough total is right around 45 gallons for the season...still have 15 gallons sitting here to finish so that may change a bit..all in all it was a pretty good year and I have no complaints. Already making the list of improvements for next year. looks like we may be up over 400 taps again...well, off to the final boil for the kids at my sons school...have to finish the block arch and fire her up...they have a bit over 40 gallons that the kids collected over the last 2 days, so we should have enough to make 1-1.5 gallons and I brought the syrup pan drainings to add for them...guys, I wish you all the best and may you have a banner rest of the season and a great maple weekend...
