35 overnight. Cloudy and up to 45 today. Rain started late afternoon. Rain forecast overnight with possible thunderstorms. Temperature rises to 50 overnight then drops to 35.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Into the woods by 8:00 AM. Cleaned and setup the storage tanks. Took the storage tank covers to the farmhouse to wash. Brought a milk can of water to wash the tanks. And prepared the valves: they get a coating of food grade grease to keep them nimble. Both the 225 gallon storage tank and the 175 gallon concentrate tank are ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also cleaned the 225 gallon collecting tank. We need that for hauling water for the R\/O.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also brought the R\/O to the syrup building from the farmhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tree pressure hit 7 PSI, but the ground is still too cold for a sap run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
