Thanks for keeping me honest. For the most part, we didn't really get any worthwhile flow, which was interesting. I'm not sure if we tapped too late, didn't leave the taps on long enough (we left them until about bud burst for each species). Early season boxelder and norway maple are decent additions to the repertoire. Silver maple's good too. Hickory, oak, and walnut were all fantastic, but we only got a real little bit of sap. Birches were okay, but not much sap flow and takes a lot to boil down. This year I stuck to walnut, Norway, and boxelder out of convenience. Overall, not much of a scientific study, so negative results in this case are not really results.
And blogs don't make promises, but bloggers can. Maybe I just don't operate on the same time scale as will satisfy your curiosity, Anonymous.
