2 countys west of ya,not much going on,drizzles for 1-2 hrs late afternoon,early evening,and not every day.
Today is the day, I can feel it .The mother of all sap runs ,its going to happen . Well maybe it will and then I can finally light a fire in a my arch ,its like getting a great Christmas present and no batteries to run it . I have the pans filled and about 200 gallons in the tank so I am firing around noon today. Ive got to run to Rutland and get a cv for the Guzzler ,we tapped 50 more trees yesterday. We are creeping up on 600 , and a friend called and asked if I wanted his sap from his sugarbush ,they didn't think they would have time to boil, HECK YEAH , another 300 on top of what I got ,bring it on. So say a prayer , the weather looks good for the next 3 days ,even with the kinda nasty weather coming , I don't care Ill boil in a darn hurricane if I have too , I just want to make syrup. Have a good day all ,and may you all get 3% sap until your tanks flow over, DSCN2181.jpgAllen
