It’s been 3 really good weeks, I think everyone has been to busy to post!

2019 - 60 buckets, 85L of syrup, 2x4 pan outside
2020 - 100 buckets, 105L of syrup, 2x6 flat pan in a Redi Rack Shack
2021 - 137 buckets, 110L of syrup and a homemade RO (why didn't I do this sooner?)
2022 - 154 buckets, 201L of syrup
2023 - 166 buckets, 343L of syrup, cold sap float box, walking beam sap trailer, 4Walls vacuum filter
2024 - 177 buckets, 200L of syrup
2025 - 177 buckets, 235L of syrup, 2x8 raised flue evaporator
Surprisingly good flow today, as it barely froze last night. I’m over 50L/tap now on average. Sugar has dropped to 1.9, maybe all the rain?
I did have 3 or 4 trees with full buckets of yellow sap, a first for the season.
We got lucky and warmed up fast today, with little wind, so the ice damage wasn’t bad. Looks like it was a different story for folks in central and eastern ON.

Well I thought we were done on the weekend. Buckets are getting lively, sap a bit coloured, lotsa moths and flies, spring peepers singing like mad, and now this little cold snap, so maybe one more run?
