This rollercoaster weather is tough to deal with. We froze up Tuesday night and didn't thaw until thunder storms and 50F temps last night. The buckets in the woods were half to running over. Got a good start inspite of light rain, while gathering this morning and fired the evaporators. Really tough day to boil down sap with low barometric pressure readings. We had the 2000gal storage tanks filled by noon break. Came back hopeing we would have enough storage space again to empty all the buckets in the woods, but no such luck. We gathered until the storage tanks and gatering tanks and all the hand carried pails were full again. To empty down the storage tanks we decided to flood the flue pans on the evaporators so perhaps we could send out one more gathering trailer. That worked, but we still have around 250 bkts half full left in the woods and the high tomarrow is supposed to be about 25F and sounds like it may be Monday before we will gather again. In the pics., the buckets you see on the roof are leakers that need repair from the last freezup. We still had not brought off a batch of syrup, when I left the saphouse at 6:00. There are a couple of pics of the screen of my rear cam that I installed in my cab to make sure that I don't accidently run over someone who is dumping sap into the trailer. My neck don't turn as good as it usta. HeHe. Loren

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
