Into the woods by 8:00 AM.  Back to the house by 5:00 PM again.  Cleaned the syrup pan and got the fire started under the evaporator.  Started the R/O by 9:15 AM.  Started running concentrate into the evaporator by 9:30 AM.  The R/O is finished by 10:45 AM.  Then run its wash cycles.  By 2:30 PM done firing and 215 gallons of sap are processed.

 

We bottled again today.  We still have 1 ½ milk cans of syrup to finish.

 

Cloudy and colder today.  About 37 for the high.  It did not freeze overnight.  Temps in the 40s.  It cooled during the day.     Tonight is mid-20s with 50 for tomorrow.  We are hoping for one last sap run.
