    Well so much for being finished....brought in another 350 gallons this afternoon and still running strong. Probably leave vacuum pump on overnight or until it quits running and then that’s it for me....for sure this time!

    It’s gone from a frustrating disappointing season to a very respectable crop. Hopefully everyone else finishes strong the next few days.

    Still running here...got about 55l sap today. Was able to give away the 42l I got yesterday, but now I'm going into the weekend expecting to boil yet again. Patched up the stove in SW with heat tape, see if that helps. There is just so much dam heat leaking from it. Gone through a good 2cord wood on SW alone.

    Batch #7 finished this evening at 219...super-low but then the sugar content is super-high. 6.25l syrup so right in the ballpark I was expecting it to finish at. So 432l sap, 22.2l syrup so far. Really hoping this last run finishes soon!!!
    Been tapping since 2008.

    2019 - 18 taps/8 trees...585l sap, 28l syrup...21:1 ratio
    2020 - 18 taps/8 trees...890.04l sap...gave away about 170l, 30l snafu'd....23l total for me from approx 690l
    2021 - 18 taps/8 trees...395l sap, 12 l syrup
    2022 - 18 taps/8 trees....7 sugars 1 red due to #2 having surgery so had the season off....582l sap, 18.5l syrup
    2023 - 18 taps/8 trees...all sugars again. 807l sap, so far approx 14l syrup

    Heaviest flow of the season for us yesterday. We had close to 1200 gallons come up in just under 8 hrs, and it was still flowing good last night when I left the camp. Going to be a long day boiling today. Hopefully a good run today. After this weekend I'm sure most of us will be finished. Buckets are all but finished. Total sap this year to date is less than half 11000 gallons compared to 25000 gallons last year. But double to the sugar so not to bad of a season. .95 L of syrup per a tap so far this year, including our buckets.
    2019 Upgraded to 2.5x12 Lapierre Force 5 & 600 RO (850 Taps + 400 Buckets)+ Buying sap
    2017 & 2018 Still Running about 815 taps
    2016 Added additional 75 Taps (800 total)
    2015 Tubing installed 700+ taps
    AirTech Vacuum Pump and CDL extractor
    20x36 Sugarhouse built (and still not big enough)
    250 CDL Hobby RO
    2014 2x8 Cross flow
    300 taps+
    450 Honda ATV
    2013 3x4 single pan
    50 taps
    40L Made last year off propane and one pan

    Another 85L out there this morning and still dripping well. It's raining today so I will wait until tomorrow so that I can boil in the sunshine.
