I just looked at the extended forecast again on accuweather and it looks like next week is a little cooler than they said it was gonna be. Only 2 day in the upper 30's and it will be cloudy so no substantial thawing of trees that they need. I guess I will use those days to check leaks in the woods and get the RO flushed and ready to go.

Man this is a late start I hope it lasts into April for a week or 2. I am fine with a shorter season as long I am boiling everyday of that shorter season!!!

I have 250 taps in just taking my time. a hr here and an hr there. plenty of time to get the buckets and gravity tubing ready too. LOTS of squirrel damage too. WOW!!!
