Well boys.. here in PA looks like there could be some good runs next week if you're brave enough to tap. [emoji38]

This is funny I won't think about tapping until the middle of March. It's currently -31* F and feels like -53*F with the wind chill at my house. Saps not flowing to good at those temps.

Decided to not tap this year. There's a couple gallons worth left on the shelf downstairs.

Weed wackers and leaf blowers are starting to trickle in. That'll be eating up my spare time for the next few months.

Hope you all have some good runs this week. The weather looks promising.

I found a couple leaks in my lines. Went from 3 in Hg to 7 and gaining. Was 8 in when I got on the side by side to go home.

I put 56 taps out yesterday hoping to put out some more today. I switched to bags this year. Heres what my bag set up looks like.

Glad I have time. Off work currently due to an injury! :)

Absolutely nothing wrong with it.
A lot of people start off with a pot like that. Definitely more economical to boil over a wood fire than propane. [emoji106]
