Hey General it sounds like your runs are almost a gallon per tap. I have only been getting about a third of a gallon. Yesterday my sugar started to go up to 1.6-1.7% so thats good. To cold today for any sap to run but tomorrow it is going to be 40 and sun so I might get a little.

SapMaple- I do miss boiling and the whole sugar house thing. We thought about setting up our sugar house to boil a few years ago but then the 60 acres that borders us came up for sale. We decided to buy that so we could tap the 3000 trees on it. It also has some real nice home sites on it for the kids someday. Now we are in the process of planting an apple orchard for the future. I know there is an orchard in your town (do you know them). Someday if one or more of the kids want to really commit to helping with the sugaring we may set up to boil. As of right now none of the kids are interested in sugaring at all. The person I sell my sap to is very nice and treats me well. I don't see me walking away from a good deal anytime soon.
