It was a late starting run which did not last long,,but it was a start,,,very good to see sap comming into a releaser like that,,I would guess we got less than 250 gallons total,,would also guess in all the tanks there is 400 gallons total,(I like to have at least 800 gallons on hand to light the fire),,should do something today,,,I wont start boiling (if it runs today) till tommrow night (I dont like starting things on fridays)
Girls and I went back up to Hill,,Ray had the vac. back up to 20",,,very excited about that,,,,we definatly have some work to do today fine tuning vac. levels at RTE.11 and Hoit rd,,,,,Ray said snow was still over most of the lines in porqupine hollow-will leave that alone (valve at booster shut off) till snow has setteled more,,,still 4 feet of snow in Hill and almost that everywhere elas around here,,,snow not yet melted away from trees...
Gonna put evaporator together this AM the go vacuum leak hunting,,,,,,
After wacthing my vacuum pumps running yesterday (surge piston type) I can see the attraction to liquid ring pumps,,,,#1=higher vac. levels #2=no oil smog, consumption #3=one moving part,,,,,,,,I am going to keep my eye out and think about how to set these up without elec.,,,,,,,saw in the indeania video the fellow had a gas powerd unit,,,
