30 overnight.  Cloudy and 38 during the day.  A little drizzle.  Into the woods by 6:00 AM to start cooking.  R/O going by 7:00 AM.  Went to 7° Brix.

Several interruptions during the day with visitors caused us to miss starting/stopping pumps or opening/closing valves.  We missed starting the transfer pump to empty the collecting tank into the storage tank.  By 10:00 AM the R/O stopped because it was out of sap.  We took the opportunity to run a rinse cycle before starting again. Then we missed closing the permeate value to the water storage tank.  This caused some sap  to back flow into it.  When visitor come we stop to talk with them, but it breaks our concatenation and routine causing us to miss a step in our process.

10 batches of syrup in the milk cans.  Filled two milk cans.  We had very good boils.  By 5:30 PM we were done.  Tomorrow we have to bottle again.
