Tapped (mostly) in Warren
My buddy and I ran one new line and extended three others on Saturday (2/1) while my wife and daught worked in the sugar shack cleaning up. We also replaced out last 5/16 line with 3/16. Sunday morning I spent skidding out most of the dead ash trees that had fallen on lines over the past year. My wife and daughter continued cleaning in the shack. In the afternoon my buddy arrived and we tapped all the existing 3/16 lines. In my Bascom's order this year, I forgot to add my tees to my cart (Doh!) so I don't have any drops made up for the replaced 3/16 line, the new line, or for the extensions we made to existing lines! I should get them this week and by next weekend we should be completely tapped.
