Looking Good
Tapped everything here yesterday. were running good too. looks like a great weekend.
Can't believe it's this time of year again , the last couple years I keep doing the same thing. Look at the forcast think it's to early. But thanks to all of u that have the bug just as bad as I do I pull out the drill and get set up. Sure my buckets will probably get cover in a foot of snow yet ,but I'm sure I'll get some sap and have some fun. Look out ready or not it's maple syrup season.

It's a addiction!! I'm stuck in limbo at 70 taps need a mini RO or bigger evaporator to expand but I could get 500 taps from my one bush and will at some point! Love it and annoy my wife all year long talking about it.
