Good to hear from you Mark, and ah well, there's always next year...and yep I did pick up about 16g sap from Kyle Baker's place, and as I still have snow on the north side of my house from where it slid off during the winter, I dug pits and put three of the 4 pails in and piled up snow around em. Hopefully those little snow bunkers will hold and not melt before the big storm predicted for Friday!
So finishing off the last pot of my own sap and got a pot of Kyle's on right now, just to get it started. And pulled my spiles today, only drips left in the pails all around. The trees all gave a good run this year, no complaints.
Been tapping since 2008.
