Day #11

Wow huge run today! Jack discovered buckets running over early in the day. A tree blew down across the entrance to the north path so job one was taking the chain saw out and addressing that issue. John & Gerri (who are clearly not 25 anymore) gathered between 1 and 3pm. South path more than filled the tank (325) and the north path had 290 gallons. Jack drove tractor and is well aware of what we meant earlier when we said the heater was not working! He has not reset his thermastat yet! Reinforcements arrived after work and Bob, Muff, Kevin, Jenny, Gary, Ed, Hannah, Chris, Heath & Susan gathered while Mike drove tractor. Total sap was 895 today. Bob says he is too tired to remember but believes they took off 9-13 gallons of syrup. Have to check on that! Rained all day!! Everybody pretty wet. Give you the totals tomorrow!
