Well Got some candy done, straightened up the sugarhouse a little, the floor needs a scrub, but I'll do that next boil. bottled up 5 gallons of dark A. Good thing I did some bottling Guy came buy that came for maple weekend last year and bought 2 gallons Gr B today. he said he wanted to make sure he got some, he wanted to buy more last year but I was close to selling out. He had Maine plates. I gave a him a sample and he said he said it was excellent..I Think I like last years better it was a little more buttery.

got a few gallons of sap early and then everything kinda shut off. couldn't figure out why... Waited a little checked again not a drop coming out actually the manifold was pretty dry 27" vac whats going on???!!! So I looked in the main line feeding in which looked empty...upon further review it was completely full. I have a PVC coupler conection coming about a foot off the relaser was frozen solid. Sap was running but I missed a few hours of it s... happens... took it apart cleared out the ice hooked it back up and the releaser dumped at least 5-6 times in a few minutes. and now its flowing out pretty good.

Big freeze coming tonight and only 33* tomorrow so we'll see when we will have enough sap!!! I am ready bring it already!!!
