They got another 115 gallons this afternoon. I boiled yesterdays sap today. Guessing I drew off 3-4 gallons of syrup and put it in finish pan. Will do the same tomorrow and get it canned and have a good count. Going in the morning to get my supply of jugs.

It's been kind of slow the last few days here. We thought yesterday would yield something but it didn't warm up soon enough plus it was quite breezy which made it feel colder. Seems to have warmed more overnight though so we'll see what today brings.

Well yesterday brought us 300 gallons of sap. We started boiling after collecting and ran until 9. Drew off some syrup and put it in canner but didn't bottle it yet. Heading out soon to continue boiling and will keep putting syrup in canner. I have to leave for work at 4:30 so my wife and the boys will collect this afternoon and bottle syrup tonight.

Update... Collected 110 gallons in the rain yesterday and finished boiling all last night. Bottled all syrup that was drawn off. Up 22 and 3/4 gallons of syrup now. Also not liking the looks of the weather for next week. Looks like 50s all week maybe a 60 here and there and 40s and 50s overnight.

We put 425 taps out on Saturday. Today, Sunday we collected 600 gallons. The biggest run we've ever had for one day. Started boiling around 2 this afternoon and drew the first syrup off evaporator by 7:00. Had four draws total by 9:15. Put it all in finish pan. About a gallon and a half. Letting fire die now and there's still about 450 gallons to boil.Another day of boiling tomorrow.
