Well thats it!!! sap ran nice today when ever I saw some body comeing I went and turned on the vacuum to let people see the sap and I don't think people beleived me when I said it was all sap!!! 3 people said now thats water right?

so I took them over to a lateral and let them see the sap trvel down the lines.

anyway had about 13 or so people visit today and its funny when people come in expecting a little thing and I would consider a 2x6 a smaller rig compared to alot of them but I love the wow factor when people come in and you exceed their expectations by that much!!!

sold more grade B today people love it. I let them taste and compare the the different grades and always tell them start with the med. (beacause I have no light) and work your way through because if you start with Gr B the med tastes like nothing!!!

Overall I was happy with the turnout!!! around 25 people total over 2 days open from 11-2:00 was as informative as I could be. I only had a sign at the end of the driveway. and sold about $160 worth of syrup and candy. so I have topped about $700 so far this year (mostly thanks to my wife for selling it at work). So next year I will advertize more a few more signs and a flyer at the general store and do a little more STUFF!!!

Hope everyone else did well. I will be looking forward to reading your threads

I will be pulling taps and taking down the rest of the buckets and cleaning stuff out dumped in another 2 gallons of vinegar in the pans to get the last of the niter out let that sit for a few days and pull them off and power washer everything down. and clean the lines finish bottling everthing up. then start on wood for next year yeah!!!
