Did the sap run yesterday? Is it running today?
I can't check my buckets until around 5
It didn't run yesterday, and today it's not even above freezing yet here. I think it will run tomorrow. I hope so!
Looks like I might get 50-75 gallons off 745 taps on vacuum today. Woo-hoo. I would expect a half decent run tomorrow.

I got maybe 30 gals from 420 taps on vacuum just got a real releaser this year and already love it.Hopefully it will let go tomorrow i have bender to play with to get working right. I wish i could find another good deal on another releaser.
Not much going on here in Lisbon. I put in 90 taps yesterday and about 30 were running when I drilled them. Checked on them today and not much sap. I think the afternoon wind kept them cool and dry. Tomorrow should be better.

Hey Mike - I just got a larger releaser this year. I want to hold on to the old one "just in case" but expect to be selling it at the end of the season. Not sure what the fair value is, but it should be a lot cheaper than new!Originally Posted by Mike's Sugar Shack
