Bigger run than Thursday's, but far from a sap Tsunami. Brought in 600 gals. last night, likely at least another 400 out in barrels and tanks and buckets that we'll gather this morning.
Froze a bit here last night, but doubt it will do much. Rain for this aft and into tomorrow. Might freeze tomorrow night, but I think we're probably done.

Collected just over 100 gal off 75 taps yesterday afternoon. Buckets are nearing full this AM but I'm pulling taps tomorrow looking at long range weather............and my day job is getting in the way

Solid run here sunday. I collected 60l from my 23 taps.
At work we have 40 taps, I just collected over 300l from them....overflowing buckets.
I don't think it was cold enough at home last night for my trees to run. It was still running at 8:30 last night, and there was hardly any frost on the car this morning. Looks like I might be done, but going to wait until the weekend to pull taps and put gear away.
So far 10l finished for the season, and 60l of sap to still boil, plus whatever (if any) I collect tonight.

We sure do 5050.
For two hours this afternoon I watched as a very well-fed Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker poked hole after hole into a box elder that I hadn't yet tapped. He seemed pretty pleased with the results. I'm starting to think that he got some insider information that I wasn't privy to because all of my taps were dry today.He better not make this into a sap war, because at this point I'm afraid that he could have the upper hand, or wing. Punk.

Sunday's run produced 1200 Imperial gallons of sap. Syrup is still amber and the trees lightly dribbled yesterday. Will it make it -3 tonight? I sure hope so. Have 600 to boil today.
