Well we hung maybe the last bucket this morning about 10:15. 2304 buckets, if our count is correct. The snow crusted over hard enough overnight to hold the guys up without sinking in this morning. It was a tough year tapping as the snow shoes wern't helping much in the deep snow, before today. "figures".
I said maybe because the 2015 season could be a very short one, as we are 2 weeks late and it could get warm shortly,and stay that way. and we may have to tap more trees to meet our production objective, of 600 gal. of syrup. We will be watching the weather patterns very closely.
After finishing tapping, we went back to the saphouse and put up the stacks on the two evaporators, My uncle thinks we should take them down every year. The end of this season, he is getting overuled, and we will just cap them.
We also washed down the storage tanks, set the pans on our two Grimm arches. The small one is a 5x20' and the other is a 5x24' More details on them as the season progresses. We have a leak in one of the three storage tanks. We have had really had good luck with that "Super Seal" stuff that is advertised on TV.
The pics. are of putting up the smoke stacks, washing down the storage tanks. We have 2600gals. of storage.
We pulled out the two gathering trailers today and filled one with water to wash everything down.
i brought the other one down to my house to pressure wash it out and repair a leaky tire. (probably just squirt some fix-a-flat in it as it is a slow leak, The trailer chassis are old 1950s Case manure spreader frames.
Last winter I put both of them in my shop and did some needed repairs, added som steps to the sides that were snowshoe acessable and repainted them. One to match my Case 440, and the other to match the Case 990 up on the farm.
It looks like maybe Monday we will be gathering sap. The buckets we put up on Tues. only have a couple qts. in them.
Loren, the Acg.
