Jason,
Yes I agree it looks like maybe a couple days each week where it might run over here on the other side of the line.
Boiled in 180 gallons of 3.5% sap last night (dumped about that much slush ice). There is another 300 - 400 gallons waiting from last night.
Looks like the year for things to break. Blower for steamaway overheated and stopped. Broke a old fitting which had been soldered and spewed 200 degree sap into the room.
Just normal syrup stuff.
Hope your season is good. I did have the good fortune to help set your old oil arch down closer to position with Jim. Nice unit!
Regards,
Chris
