Collected 2,500 gals of sap this afternoon after a visit to the doctor. Found out I do have cancer again, no biggy, made it through last time will this time. Doctor is great planning the surgery by my weather prediction and sapflow thoughts. I may miss a day or two, but already lined up another producer to take any sap that flows. This weekend looks great, another sap tsunami.
Van,
Your attitude is always amazing. Will pray you have a quick and speedy recovery.

Working on the 2nd barrel for today. New diaphragm pump on the filterpress is great. Have to get up in the woods tomorrow afternoon to fix tubing before the next big run this weekend.
So sorry to hear this news of your health. Ron and I still remember that visit to your place. We're amazed at the work you do. Please know we're thinking of you. Please take care.
That's probably why you always beat it. Mental attitude is HUGELY important I know. Thoughts and prayers for you.Originally Posted by WESTVIRGINIAMAPLER

you and Ron are welcome anytime.
1,500 gals sap collected tonight so tanks don't overflow. Lots of tubing pulled apart by Bigfoot I guess. Darn drop lines keep sliding off the cv2. Those things need barbs. Sap is flowing hard tonight and I should be over 400 gals of syrup by Monday.
Way to go, Van!
