I had like 25 on 130 taps, but running strong, at 530. I expect a good load tomorrow. Problem is, the lane is getting pretty rough and they are calling for some rain over night. Ugh.

Same here, most were just starting to drip at 4:30 when I was dumping them today. I dumped ice and all, figured I would start fresh. I am try to collect it and boil it in the same day it runs. looking at the sap/ice I had in my buckets today and it looked "ickey",for lack of a better term, it had run last tuesday and was frozen since Wednesday but decided not to chance it, so it went back to nature. Hoping for a decent amount tomorrow, but with the way this year has gone nothing would surprise me.

Slow start here in Bennington also. p/u Cowlesville at 3:30 and only 125g from 324 taps. Vacuum taps were running but not like I thought. Should have plenty tomorrow.

Checked tanks and pumps at 5 and they were just starting to really pull sap. Now, I have to admit that I am a techie guy. I installed an outdoor webcam with night vision in one of my tanks. I absolutely love it. Now I can see from work if the sap is flowing. I have a shurflo hooked up with a bypass line to keep the pump wet, so the flow is deceiving, but to watch the puddle grow is amazing. This is a 500 gal tank.

Not crazy. I have a camera that I can access from my phone. It's set up to watch my RO while I am boiling.

Slow start here. Didn't get enough to use the RO so I'm just finishing the last of it as I type this. A little worried about boiling tomorrow in the wind with embers and all.

What kind of outdoor camera are you using? I would like to have one but I dont have wifi around my tanks.

I have a router in my sapshack and ran a 300' network cable down to it. It will also do wireless, but yes you need wireless available. Wish I had these in my other tanks.

100+ more overnight. Opened up as expected.

Trees running good after that hard freeze and sap has cleared back up, as of this morning were at about 2 gal per tap from this run.
