[3% Solution]

Ok here we go.
Got to tank stands shoveled out Saturday, was easier than I thought it would be.
Got the snowshoes out and shined up, LOL.
Now to get the mains and tubing washed out Friday.
Get the mains and tubing in the center section of Crestview.
Replace 45 drops with CV spouts.
Then to wait for the next little warm up and tap everything in.
Maybe the last week of the month.

What do you mean the last week of the month? The season's here. It's time to start putting holes in them trees!

Good luck this season.

With all the snow in the woods, it is going to take more than a couple of 40 degree day to shake thing lose! You folk over closer to the coast will see sap before us. We are about 80% taped out and yesterday as warn as it was we didn't see one drop of sap come through the main lines! JimL.

Josh,
Yeah we're not as warm as you folks are over in the flats!! LOL
We live in them thar mountains over here.
We will no doubt tap out sometime the week of the 21st IF it's warm enough.
It's only 12 here right now and forecast to drop to 0* tonight.
So, I guess we haven't missed a run yet!!
Oh by the way Josh, your such a teaser!!!!!
