went ot today to pull my buckets there were all full and not of water the trees where running beter than they have been, maybe the cold nites we had then the cold days it was warmer last nite and agin today with rain, i pulled in about 60 gallons of sap, still clear, so tommorow ill boil it up and see what i get out of it, went out about 9 to check a couple buckets by the house they are half full again, wierd, im glad i didnt give up yet, but us marines never give up or never give in jim
gathered over 4000gals. of sap, since we rebored 2500 holes,last week.sap was fairly clear,but only 1.2 sugar.i think reaming the holes was worth the effort. today(tuesday) will be our last boil
