Finall Back At It In The Sugar Bush

Well It's been near two weeks since things have warmed up enough for sap to run. A good thing I guess, as both my uncle and myself have had to spend time in the hospital during the period. He with a form of gout that caused his left arm to swell up and they had to lance it from the middle of his fore finger to close to his elbo. Me , I had another stroke 3rd. I got the doctors baffeled a bit because after all the tests they did, my body is in great shape as far as my heart, veins etc.are conserned. I went to another hospital this time to perhaps get a different opinion. This one is a teaching hospital, that I have shyed away from in earlier years when I was working, because a minor infection turned into a major allday event, because every inturn had to diagnose the problem. My regular GP from the other hospital insisted that my BP was too high. The docs. at this hospital agreed with me that some people function better at higher BPs. So I'm still on asprin and a much reduced regiment of BP meds, went from 6 meds to two meds per day. We will se what happens.
Any way we were back in the sugarbush today. We had to empty the half full buckets, mostly ice. The sap we collected was testing 4.5% sugar, since the water had frozen and we dumped it, but I think the syrup may be dark since it has set in the buckets for many days at about plus/minus 32F temp.
