Very strange indeed. I dont even see buds yet on softs or the sugars here. Usually the reds are budded a couple weeks ago. When I pulled the taps on the vac bush last week sap was still running out of the trees. Never would of thought that either. Brandon you know I was going to ask this but when you get the steamaway can I ask you to take some close up pictures of it for my build?

Mark,
Nothing against an RO. Operation and 100% of the investment is mine and I could buy a RO but I do all the gathering and have 3 or 4 guys that are retired that like to help with the boiling and running the evaporator is about as complex as it gets for them. If I went with an RO, that would put them out of helping. Maybe in the future if I expanded and added more taps and didn't have any help but not in the plans for now.

3rdgen,
I will have pics on my photobucket along with everything else once I get the steamaway and get it installed.

Still learning after all these years.
