    Sap ran pretty good last night. I woke up to 3000+ gallons in the tank. I think we may have another few weeks of good sugaring.

    Talked to my buddy in Enosburg last night, he said theyre still running good. I just finished up yesterday in the flatlands of Ohio. I used to deer hunt right outside of Richford by the border and the golf course when I was a kid. Beautiful area up there. Hope you guys get a while longer.

    well between monday we gathered 6,500 gallons and today we gathered 3,500 gallons to 10000 gallons we had a great night last night made 100 gallons tonight we had a filter press pump go down and had to bring in the back up cast grimm single bank press and pump 100 gallons of grade B through it... changed the filters 5 times hell yea... sugar is down from 2.0 to 1.5 no freeze in 3 days and none for another 7 from the forcast... maples in our region are starting to bud out... no matter how much cold weather we get i believe that this season may be reaching its final day or days.. we are done for the time being if there is a night that is reaches 30 i plan on turning on the vacuums bit until the thermometer hits that this season for us is over.. and yup sure set another record 1170 for a season that started early and will possibly end early. good luck to to all.. keep it bubblin'
