One batch into the milk can.  10.5\u201d remain in the tank to cook out tomorrow.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shout out of thanks to cousin David .  He came this afternoon to install the replacement pump on the R\/O.  He connected the electrical and re-did the hose connections to the pump because the new pump has different fittings.   It was a nice to hear it start up.  We ran 200 gallons of water through to prepare the membrane.   He also connected the propane tank and changed a valve handle.  Very nice to have this all done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>17 overnight.  Sunny and 40 today.  Not as warm as forecast.  Trees dripping this afternoon.   We plan to collect tomorrow.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to the farmhouse by 6:15 PM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wisconsin Maple Syrup Producers Association (WMSPA) held a First Tapping even to kick off Maple Month in Wisconsin.
