Odd thing is as we were wrapping things up, the syrup pan lightened up considerably, and very noticeable when we shut down. Also, wasn't getting the mud in the syrup pan like we have been...makes me wonder what's in the last batch of sap to make it change so much. Weird. Boiling off the flue pan in the syrup pan and will have final numbers and thoughts on the season later this week.

One good thing about having a cold right now is I can't smell the sap as it's boiling off...my wife says it's pretty strong.
You still have a cold.... geez you got hit hard this year!!! but your lucky about not being able to smell end of season sap boil....man it gets stinky!!!
