No more sap - boiling what's left

I was holding off saying the sap was done, but now the weather confirms it. One tree today had a half gallon or so, not very sweet at all. Several had a few tablespoons of yellowish sap. Probably from sitting in the hot sun a couple days.

I have the two pans boiling outside and one inside. There probably isn't enough propane or time tonight to finish it all off. We'll see how far I get. I'll try to avoid the trap of putting fresh sap in the pan very late. Then it has to boil off for an hour of two before bringing inside to finish (another hour or two).
