Another really nice day but with very little sap run. It did not get much below 35 last night so things just dripping along instead of running along!
140 gallons collected tonight. Bob, Chris and Muff got started gathering with Dale driving, Karen walked and rode some. Susan B. arrived to help and soon after Katie started on the north path. Adam and Gerri came in time to see Wally dump. Adam brought 7 gallons from twp rd 178. This was Bob's first walk through the whole woods. He thinks we need 100 more buckets!!
We enjoyed leftover's and soup from Aunt Dorothy..thank you! No chili and no Mark tonight.
Splitting little pieces of wood for "little sap"
The boiling sap smelled great tonight! Was a quick boil with this small run. Bob and Adam still working on "when" to quit firing.
Adam finally lost it tonight and yelled, loudly, back at Bob (after he barked orders at him) that "I don't know why I come over here". He nailed the impersonation of Chuck so well everybody laughed.
Luckily Karen went home prior to the grand finale for the evening ...a mouse rodeo. Katie was the spotter, Bob chased while encouraging Lola to participate while Adam held the spotlight. Katie reminded Bob his mouse target probably had a family. Bob returned to the camp to set traps after we quit tonight.
Total syrup off today: 2 gallons
Total sap to date:1805 + 87 gallons twp rd 178
Total syrup to date:24
