Started out yesterday with 600 gallons in the main tank and another 200 in the brook run tank. I boiled off 7.75 gallons of vdr and called it a night with 150 left in the tank. I got a kinda late start today, got to the sugarhouse loaded the cage tank and pump and went to the brook tank. It was an inch from the top, 400 gallons and it was running pretty descent. Pumped it out and went to the sugarhouse and couldn't unload. The main tank was full , so a GREAT day for sap. I had around 875 to start the day , I boiled until 4pm, I had a commitment to make, but the good news is made another 7 plus and I had room for the cage tank in my truck. Ill be there tomorrow at 7am lighting the fire ,going to try and finish it all off . It just makes me shake my head at times, on the days you would swear that your going to have a gusher you get nothing, on the days when your not expecting anything you get the flood, Good luck everyone.
