Maple Syrup Time

I just got finished tapping some of my Maple trees..................home made maple syrup!!!!!!!!!! I did this last year but tapped 12 trees, and at 5 to 8 gallons a day that was way too much. I scaled it back this year to 4 taps. I am glad to report that as soon as I pulled the drill bit out of the trunk I heard the steady drip, drip, drip and took a quick sample. Yup, it's sweet. I am hoping to have the first batch done by Sunday. Time to go out and see the friends and have 2 dollar Yuenglings and beer hot dogs.
