Finally found some time to sit down and post a new thread. I have found out this year that 600+ taps is a bit much for one person to handle alone. Finished out 20 gallons of syrup today on the old 2x6. Took only about 4 1/2 hours of boiling. Gotta love the RO!. My new found love and future wife had a grand time canning syrup and talking to all the visitors we had today. I had to pinch myself a couple of times to make sure I was not dreaming! I thought for sure all the "stress" and freaking out I have been going thru the last month with this strange season would have made her run the other way, but it has brought us closer. Life is good! Hopefully by tommorow we should be hitting the 50 gallon mark. Still a lot of catching up to do.
