Tough not to tap today with 3 days of daytime highs of 3- 8 and nightime below 0......should be a run but will likley freeze solid after that. Gonna wait til Valentines day to tap I think. Will continue working on upgrades......Yee haa! Weather will not get me this year with shack shaping up nicely. Learned how to weld and oil drum arch will really bring boil rates up on new pan. Cant hardly wait.
