    If you had wind like we had last night and today, stay out of the woods until the wind lets up. Very strong gusts.
    I'll check my woods tomorrow, likely need a chainsaw for sure.
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

    Got the all clear from the doctors last week! No new cancer. Been busy opening up a new section of woods adding more taps and repairing damage in the other bushes. Tanks out next week then I’ll start tapping. 24/7 here I come!

    Tapped around 2,000 and sap has been flowing well. Just have to put the ro back together then I’m back in business. Tomorrow should be my first boil.
