Hey Don,,,,,welcome to the post !!
Thats nuts,,,Are you really going to boil all night long? Why not just get up early and start after a sleep ?
I never knew about the "Bee" meeting, I thought you were hard away at boiling, silly me.
Well, took cold meds, sinuses or cold symptoms are killing me and keeping me awake, cant nose breath,going through tissues like sap through tubing !I hate not being 100%. Grrr.
Hope you get some sleep Don and all is well for all.

That's some glorious looking syrup Terry. Your total for today is just a little bit over what I made for the entire 2012 season!
I must admit that I have packed it in for tonight. I boiled down 90 litres, but couldn't keep my momentum going to finish the remaining 20 litres. I ended up with about 12 litres of sweet that I'll tackle again tomorrow with the remaining sap and anything else I gather tomorrow. I feel like I've been on my feet all day and a soft bed will feel really nice. As long as the weather cooperates and we don't get rained on or snowed on I'll ramp up my burners again for another date with the fryers. I'll easily surpass my 2012 syrup total when I finish off this batch! Can't wait!

Hey Nightshift,,,,,,,,,oops I mean DonJR !
I get the nightshift schedule and how to body takes time to adjust, got it. The storage is an issue too, totally understand.
I put all my bottles away, daytime pic of clear syrup will be next batch which looks like Friday and Saturday is going to be dynomite, best weather yet if it holds up.
I need to cut some more wood judging form how things are looking. My guess is I used about 4 wheelbarrows of wood yesterday for the bit over a gallon of syrup.
Sinuses feel better today, kids are gone to "Skool", good day to get busy.
Karen, glad to hear your 90 liters lighter !!
Bye for now.
