Well it didn't warm up the way the weather watchers said it would. Hovered around 34 with blue skies, bright sun, and a raw chilling breeze and temps dropped to 28 by 5:00 this afternoon There was a lot of slush in the sap buckets, which is ok. We only keep the liquid, which is sweeter. Sap tested 3.5% so it should make some good first run syrup. We were shorthanded again today and were only able to gather 1500gals. of sap. The cousin is going up tomarrow morning at 7:00am and fire the evaporators. We don't know weather we will be able to gather tomarrow. Supposed to drop into teens tonight, and things may not thaw tomarrow. Just a side note-- The gathering trailers are over 50 years old. My dad fabed them up using old Case manure spreader chassis and 275gal oil tanks. Prior to these we used round tanks made by GH Grimm Co. that were mounted to sleigh bobs and originally pulled by horses. 3 years back, I gave them a restoration, adding some mods to make dumping into them much easier, and of course updateing the paint scheme.

Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
