Yesterday went okay business-wise but have I mentioned how much I despise daylight savings time? We like to get 20 blowouts completed per day per machine, but the later in the season it gets the harder this becomes. Many times the guys have been doing blowouts by heavy-duty flashlight. I personally have one that is 12,000 lumens. It will blind you if you look at it directly.
On a personal level life was not good yesterday. We called “Gentle Goodbyes” to our home to put an end to the suffering of our cat “Smudge.” We rescued him when he was 2 years old around 15 years ago, and he has been a great addition to our family. He wasn’t skittish like a lot of other cats. He welcomed any stranger that came into our home. Jacob and I prepared a resting place for him in our backyard, and I shared my wife’s post on Facebook about our little buddy. It won’t be long before we have to repeat the process with our Border Collie who is nearly 16 years old, blind, and has some tumors on her skin. Sometimes life just sucks……..
According to our stats, we are nearing 82% complete on all sprinkler blowouts. It’s been a heck of a ride this year getting to everyone and being down one technician in the process.

I am so sorry about your cat – our pets leave huge foot prints on our hearts.
Thank you. We are still in the routine of thinking about feeding him and then realize he isn’t here, and he isn’t in the window watching for us to come home. Hard to break 18 years of habit.
