was thinking it was going to be a low key sugaring day when Parker called this AM saying he didn't have enough to boil and would I like some...you bet- not sure what the total was, but somewhere near 600 gals of 1.4% sap. had a bit of color to it, but after one pass through the RO and into the evap. it came out as some nice tasting either dark or B...nice bonus- many thanks Parker...

buckets and vacuum ran a bit today- will gather mid-day tomorrow and see where we are at. approx. 97 gals of syrup as of today (the stuff that was a bit scorched last night actually graded out as dark amber, so we have yet to finish and grade any grade B) and I think our tap count is going to be around 625.

going to hang in till at least next weekend for our open house weekend. if it gets cold enough a few of the night might actually have some sap to work with...
