Didn't Get Very Cold Here Last Night, Maybe 32 Degrees. The Vacuum Pump Has Not Shutoff For 6 Days Now. We Made 47 More Gallons Last Night, 115 Total For The Weekend. The Grade Has Dropped To Grade B With A Real Good Flavor. Most Of The Wannabe Sugarmakers Are Calling It A Season, Not Me!!!! I Think We Have Some Cold Weather Coming In For This Next Weekend, So We Will Hang On. It Doesn't Cost Me Anymore To Keep The Taps In For A While Longer.

If it doesn't go buddy on you in the next 3 days, you will sugar for 2 more weeks with looking at the long range forecast.

It is running here in Lincoln, as good as I have seen this year.

I Did It!! We Hit 600 Gallons Last Night---not The Prettiest Syrup I've Ever Made, But It's Syrup! I Will Give It The Weekend, But I Think We Are All Done. The Vacuum Pump Has Run For 14 Straight Days And Is Begging Me To Give It The Summer Off. I Will Start Washing Tubing Next Weekend. It's Been A Long Season!
