Tapping trees.

[mowin]

Tapped 450 trees today.  Lots of lines were damaged during the off season from limbs and trees falling.  We'll put out the collection tanks tomorrow after cleaning them. Saturday we'll clean the storage tanks and evaporator.  Should be a great week for sap to run.  By the time we got done the sap was coming out pretty good from the end of the mainline.  Lots of nasty stuff in the lines from sitting all summer and fall, so we usually let it run on the ground for a few hrs to flush out the lines.
