Wrong again, my woods trees have just started to drip most only had an inch or so in them, did not bother to collect as it would not be enough to boil and with it being cool enough tonite I will just collect tomorrow and have hopefully a longer boil.

Just collected. 160 gallons off 130 taps from yesterday when it started (midday?) Through now. Little cloudy, but no off flavors and still some sweetness. Hope to get most of it boiled down tonight after kids go to sleep.

Had a little under a gallon a tap run today. Some smaller woods trees I expected more out of, but couldn't tell if they were winding down or just loosening up. Big trees still flowing good. 1.9% averaged. Fired up tonight to run 45 gallons through, mainly just to get the sweet that has been sitting there a few days pushed through. Got some darker syrup coming but hopefully it lightens back up. My dad should have a good full day of boiling tomorrow after I collect again before work in the morning.

Ended up with about 1/2 gal per tap yesterday, cooking that now. I checked a couple close by the house and they had barely anything at 3pm. Just wondering how everybody else did today, I just hope the tap holes are t bunking up already. I am on buckets and bags.
I am not liking the looks of these buds.
