First time this year the releaser cycled. 140 gallons from 200 trees on Vacuum and another 30 from 50 buckets. It seemed to slow way down so I killed the pump. Neighbor has 350 taps on the shady side and got zilch.

Had a fair run yesterday made around 8 gallons of syrup last night. Just came from the shack and it looks like it has pickup this morning with 3' plus of snow in the woods we need some sun to get the frost out and let the trees run. BUT it looks like this weekend was a great start small boils get all the equipment dialed in , walk lines fix vac leaks and hopefully get ready for the monster runs this week.

Spud, how do you move your sap? How big is the tank? How far do you go with it?Originally Posted by spud
Sap ran lightly all night despite just under freezing temps. and freezing rain. Not sure it will do much today with the cold temps but we'll see. Looks like Tuesday may be the next good run as the sun is forecasted to show itself.
