Wednesday the 2nd of March brings with it sunshine and a constant sweet drip. Big & small trees both running today, except those on far north end. Chuck & Jack boiled in a lot of sap today, the leftover from yesterday. Grandpa Clarence would be bewildered, high of 35 degrees with north wind and still lots of sap. Jack, Nickie, Dale & Bob started gathering with Gary, Gerri, Brad, Ted & Nancy wandering in fashionably late. Collected 520 gallons of sap from the woods & 4 gallons from the Sandhill Rd. annex forest which poor Chuck collected all alone! Even Petey is tired as he is napping in Mindy's favorite chair! The H is back in use, never got stuck today!! Gonna be cold tonight. The sap trailer was getting slick near the end (slushy forming on the deck!) Quit early again (if you call 9 early) and guys will boil rest in tomorrow.Total sap: 1824 gallons. Total syrup: 27 gallons.
