Into the woods by 6:30 AM.  Back to farmhouse at 4:30 PM.  400 gallons cooked.  Started the R/O by 7:45 AM.  Finished by 12:15 PM.  When pumping out the 175 from the collecting tank the hose into the storage tank popped up causing sap to miss the tank.  Lost 20-25 gallons of sap.

Steam did not rise today.  It hung low in the building making it hard to see the sap level in the evaporator.   It was challenging to keep the level consistent.  There is an outlet on the far side of the pan that we use to gauge the sap level.  Try to keep the level at ½ to ¾  of the outlet.  Because of the steam we could not see it well.  Had to use the scoop several times to measure the level.  And the steam makes everything wet when it condenses.

25 overnight.  Partly sunny and 30 with a cold North wind.   Tomorrow looks promising.
