With the help of my assistant, we completed the remaining of our Nampa 83687 sprinkler blowouts and then about 7 in the Meridian 83646. When I got to my office and downloaded the new requests I found another one came in during the day from the 83687, but unfortunately that one will have to wait a bit until our return trip.
The saga continues with my truck. Looks like another day in the shop for the fuel pump. I will be driving a Uhaul pick-up again today, which is going to hurt the piggy bank some with mileage, fees, etc., and as much as I could have used a few days off, I think there might be a few of you that would hunt me down and burned me at the stake if I even considered taking a few days off……..
I am going to spend 2 days in the Meridian 83646 this time around, but will be back again after I make a run through the Boise 83709 and Meridian 83642. I need to stay in the 83646, 83709, and 83642 for a little while and then move on to the 83713 an the other zip code areas still waiting for their second trip through. Look at our 2017 stats and you will see I am working it this way.
Two days in the Meridian 83646 will only cover about 1/3 of our remaining blowouts in the area, but please be patient. I will get to you. The weather is fine, and the ground temperature is still in the mid to high 40's, so no where near freezing. I have done this a LONG time, and believe it or not, I really do know what I am doing. 
I actually love working in Meridian. If I could get 1,200 sprinkler blowouts in Meridian 83646 I would not go anywhere else. Most of the systems are very easy to work with, most of the jobs are close together, which allows me to get more accomplished in one day, and I could obviously do 1,200 in Meridian much faster than 1,200 throughout the Treasure Valley……… But, I have a LOT of customers in other parts of the valley I have done blowouts and other repairs for 10 years or more, and have built up a good rapport with them after all these years.
The map below shows the route for today. They are pretty close together, so if I actually have time to do more, I will pick some in the area around my house to finish the day. #22 is actually one street over from me as is. Click on the image for a larger view.
