Gathered in the rain today. The last of the buckets I hung on Monday ran pretty good, but later yesterday. There were a few overflowing ones.

Got 200 IMP gals. from them and got 140 from the lines out of the swamp tank.

Tomorrow morning will gather the rest of the buckets and then boil.

Figure I have 1100 + taps on buckets. Will have 700 taps on line when I get them done. About 125 to do.

I hate sappin in the rain.

My brother's boss has made 30 litres so far from about 200 taps.

Somebody's shanty burnt down in Fisherville this week. Brand new shanty and equipment I guess. The guy went home for lunch and left it boiling. The evaporator runs on Natural Gas. Somebody knocked on his house door and said they thought he had a problem in the bush. She was really goin and she burnt right to the ground.
