Ok, the run that started Sunday was a dandy. Got a good 2 gallons/tap. The trees here at home may run again today; it froze overnight despite the forecast that it wouldn't. My trees to the north did not, so they'll be slowed down. Will go pump that tank out this afternoon and see what I get here for one more boil to keep on top of the warm weather.
What I boiled last night was great. Light color and very little nitre compared to the first boil. Totally different, in a good way.

2017 - Shurflo 4008 hooked to 42 stingy silver maples and a few Norways. A couple buckets on sugars and Norways. 10 box elders.
2018 - ...a few more taps.
