    I got 3000 gallons of sap yesterday. This morning it has already started to run at 9:45am. Should be a good day for all of us.

    12000 gallon in. After blowing the fuse on a nearby transformer and GMP having to send a truck to fix, managed to make 3 drums of medium. Concentrating through the night. Trees still producing 300/hr. @ 2am. Was hoping for a freeze.

    Got 6900 gallons yesterday. Sap ran all night at 200GPH. Sap testing 2%. Never froze last night and the wind is now picking up. Still should be pretty good today.Vacuum playing tricks on me and jumping 2-3 inches. Dr.Tim said it was due to tree gases and micro leaks. Lets hope more tree gas because I don't want to go in the knee deep snow looking for leaks.

    You might be surprised. Froze at my house. Got done boiling at Scott's about midnight, filled the wood boiler and it was sitting at 32. Woke up at 6 and there was ice on the mud. I bet it froze in Rupert.

    We'll be by with sap this week.
