I've been home for a couple of days now and am enjoying the warm weather here in NC. I'm sure that you people in the maple belt are upset with the weather forecast and I'm feeling your pain. Theron had produced about half as much as he had made the season before when I left to come home. He's made more since but I'm not sure how much. I hope that you all get some freezing nights soon and somehow have an average or better season.
Good luck to all of you that are having open houses this weekend.

glad you are getting some rest. Maple weekend here in NH. so we ALL have been doing the Maple Thrash as my wife calls it. Saturday was a dud... for the first time weather kept people away it was not nice. on and off heavy rain. but today supposed to be 60 gonna be busy I hope so I have to pay for this new vacuum pump and need to turn all the stuff I made green!!! The weather is a rough I will say but there are 2 freezes coming and I haven't turned off my vac pump all week except to drain moisture and top off oil. and its been holding a steady 27" gotta keep those sap columns open!!!
may your sap be at 3%
