    Started tapping Sunday, I haven't counted my taps yet but I've collected about 100 gals of sap going to boil on sat. I built a new shack and I've got so much more to do. Looks like a good run I hope I can keep up.

    Getting a suprise run today. We will boil tonight and it looks like a good weekend. Maybe hit 100 gallons by sunday night. Sugar has been good 2.2, kids sugar has been great 3.1. I'm jealous.

    We are looking to tap February 22nd here in Gill, MA. I think that was about the date we started last year and had a first boil end of February.

    Have some buckets out now, checked some today and one crazy tree was actually running. My new favorite tree. Tapping remaining trees tomorrow.
