Apr 3

A nice day today, perhaps not as warm as it looked out though! There is sporadic sap running. Karen noted a high variability between the trees in the Sandhill Forest. (She is pinch hitting for Chuck who is "sapped out" this week, quite ill and very missed.) We admit we had a good laugh tonight that Chuck would not have approved of Brad's wood splitting technique and he will not be happy when he finds out Gerri broke the air intake door handle (woops!). Jack took the news well, but he is tired.

Kevin had the day off of work so he and Bob, and Muff started out earlier than usual. Family friends (Shane & family) came to help. Gerri & Brad showed up late and got to help finish the 175 gallons tonight. It is a little more yellow and the ants are here!

Today would be Clarence Rine's 100th birthday. We wonder what he would think of the quiet generator or Bob taking picture's on the IPAD for the blog? OR 183 gallons of syrup?

Total sap: 7,517.5 gallons
Total syrup: 183 gallons
