Two cinder blocks, two fence posts and a pan or two and you can have syrup for your pancakes in a day. Gives you a reason to sit by a fire and drink beer too. Never needed a reason to sit by the fire with a cold one or three. |

I went out and collected sap today. What a pain in the ass it was trying to walk through that wet slippery snow. Well over a foot of snow in the woods, out in the food plot closer to 2 foot. 187 gallons with a 3.2 test, just shy of 1600 gallons ytd.

That's a great season Tooln!!! The guys here have been finished for a couple weeks. That's great sugar content for this late in the season. Stay at it while you can because you may never have this good of a season (length and sugar content) again.

I wish they all tested that high. |

I'm hearing the trees are exploding today. Can't keep the bags empty. It will be probably short lived but the peak is finally here it seems. Time to drink, eat and cook all weekend. Beautiful weather.

I started my second and final boil down tonight. My plan was to begin tomorrow, but so much sap flowed today my storage jugs filled up and the boil down had to started early.

Heading out soon to collect. Season is coming to an end. We (I mean my neighbors but I hang out with them and help out) have about 300 gallons to cook yet. We can do 10 gallons per hour. |

I'm taking a little bit of a break I've got roughly 130 gallons so far and I am about halfway done. I collected two days ago some trees are filling a 5 gallon pail up that is running over others not so much it's kind of spotty but it should be one of my better runs this year. But I'm guessing the test will be lower, normally is late season. |
