Only a crazy person would tap this early. Right?
I looked at 10 day forecast . I see every day above freezing with some promise of sunshine.

I tapped one small section today. 14 taps. I had good flow this afternoon. Got to see new releaser check valves in action. I had to coax my old "ebay gast" to get it going but finally got it . Going to start watching for a backup pump.

Tapping another section tomorrow.. Supposed to see some sun with 45 degrees. 59 On monday.

Woo! Hooo! Syrup season has started. Hope to have enough to run "RO" soon. Cook this week. : )
