    Turned the pump off this morning after running for four days and collected about 500 in that period. Pulled in another 100 after shutting down last night. Will let that freeze in the tank til the next run which looks like it will be later next week. Forecast suggests some real sugaring weather is coming after this cold snap.
    About 750 taps on High Vac.
