I'll start tapping on Sunday 2/10. Just learned you can tap black walnut trees too, will give that a try. Will keep the sap separate, and I may even wait until I'm done tapping the maples.

I thought I was going to tap this weekend but have my doubts after looking at the forcast , which depending on who you believe, is not looking that great, maybe a one day run then back to freezing temps. the end of nxt. week and the following week look fantastic. we'll see.

i was planning on tapping this weekend too Chris, but am looking for any excuse in the book to not tap till later next week as im not totally done running my tubing .

[miller maple]

got 300 taps in today the high was only 33 and the sap was running the sun was out so it was nice and warm have about 150 taps to finish up tomorrow, according to the weather it should be a really good weekend, tomorrow the high is 40 so im hoping for a good run. it was so much fun to see the sap run through the lines that i worked so hard to put up gives you a satiesfing feeling and a sence of accomplishment.

I planned to tap in the morning but not so sure now. Have to finish a sap ladder, clean tanks, level pumphouse, and some other odds and ends. I must say that it was much easier on the stress level when I simply had buckets and gravity tubing.

We are in the process of taping I only have about 1 hour after work per day. I can get about 50 in per night only 20 today "had to collect". I have about 120 in now buckets and bags will have 450-500 in after the weekend.

Can't WAIT to boil on the new evaporator!!

Stress? C'mon now. It will be so fun just watching the releaser fill up. I bet Papa Heus is going to love it this year. I predict he will say, "why didn't we do this sooner?"
