    I am now at 203.5 gallons of syrup for the season after the last boil last night. After I finish what is in the evaporator I should be around 213 gallons total that's a little more than .25gpt. Not much for some guys out there but very good to me considering that most of my trees are red maples and most of those on north facing slopes. As usual there are plans in the works to improve on that number next season.

    For those that follow this thread and are interested in it I started a thread with pics of the Bubblemaster 1.0. Your questions and comments are welcomed.

    Wow that's great Russ. I though you were done at 198.5 and not going to make your goal of 200!

    Still cranking up here with 131 gal and low-grade Medium Amber, the best year since 2000!

    The neighbor gave me 250 gallons of 1.2% to boil tomorrow and should have another 100 or more of my own sap to boil in the AM. If the weather would cooperate, i think there would be more season for me. My taps are only 5.5 weeks old and the ground seems frozen still. Poplars aren't fuzzy yet and ice on all the ponds. Forecast seems imported with nothing over mid fifties and a possible freeze friday & Saturday nites.
