    I'm way ahead of where I usually am. Ending my season last Saturday the 9th instead of trying for one more day made all the difference. I was able to finish my evaporator off Sunday morning where it usually takes me a week before I get that done. Another thing that helped was that I bought some new tap pullers and they worked great. My old ones would bend and didn't have the leverage that the new ones do. I could have gotten some tanks washed yesterday afternoon but after I had my Easter dinner I couldn't get up the ambition and didn't want to leave my family.

    wow thats pretty good. I have maybe 75 taps pulled. but its going. gotta get the swampy part done before we get too much rain. RO is all cleaned just just need to get membranes into the preservative. so bacteria doesn;t grow in them. I'll get it!!! have school break next week should be all done by the end of the week. good weather or bad doesn;t matter. get splashed with rotten sap anyway!!! honestly too hot this weekend!!! 90 here on sunday. best to just sit and watch the sox!!!
    may your sap be at 3%

    I went out to see Jim Lukash, aka NH Maplemaker today. We traded sugaring stories and we even traded some syrup. He gave me the grand tour of his sugar house and woods. He has a very nice and clean set up out there. It was a nice day for a road trip. Thank you for showing me around Jim.
