Well we filled every bit of storage up today including both gatherings tanks full and nowhere to dump them. We had made 86 gal of syrup as of yesterday. Cousin fired the evaporators this morning at 8:00, and we started gathering at 9:00. The sap ran all last night. We are pulling off some real nice light amber syrup today, and the batches were comming off big and quick. The cousins and uncle will likely boil until midnight tonight. We're expecting to have an 80gal day. A very good day for us. The sap is testing 2.75% sugar and very clear. It is supposed to cool off tonight with rain turning back to snow by day break and into the day, tomarrow. Sunday is supposed to be cold also, and don't know yet weather we will be in the bush that day. Rain predicted for Mon. & Tue. If it warms up next week and stays that way, it could be a short season. We are aming to make 600 gal of syrup to meet our market needs, so we have a long ways to go. The snow is melting away from the tree trunks now, and today was the first day without snowshoes. When the snow starts receeding from the trunks the sap really starts to run, if temps cooperate. The fields have lots of mud and the ponds that were forming in the fields went away last night. Apparently the frost went out in some of them. The wood pile is shrinking fast. Hope we don't have to cut more to finish. Hope you all arn't getting bored with my updates as the season progresses. We still have a ways to go before the fat lady, (mother nature)sings. Loren, the Acg.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
