Harvey boiled from 3 pm to 7 pm yesterday. He made 10 gallons of A-Dark. It always takes longer to make syrup the first time we boil and it is usually darker syrup. None of the equipment broke down, so we are off to a good start! 

Ryan helped Harvey in the sugarhouse yesterday, checking lines and cleaning storage tanks and John Cluba visited the sugarhouse while Harvey was boiling last night.

Sap ran all night and is still running. Harvey has a 1 1/2 tanks of sap this morning, so this means we will be boiling sometime today.
