My evaporator is in 100 pieces and im hoping to have that done by Friday. I have a wireless remote camera to monitor my Vacuum and tank and RO that needs to be installed. Everything is packed up in another shed and needs to come out and be cleaned and im waiting on a large order of supplies to finish everything. Im praying it gets cold again at least until the 3rd week of Feb. Wow im having chest pains!! Jeff
Don't panic yet, long range forecast suggests you'll get plenty of opportunity - I was largely motivated by the fact we kicked our last jug of last year's syrup the week before last. If I can even make a gallon on this run I'll be feeling pretty good.
Remote wireless camera...note to self.
