Sprinkler Blowouts For Monday, October 13, 2025

We’ve had some promising leads on potential new techs to replace the ones who just couldn’t cut it. Right now, we need to fill two positions immediately, and a few more once the other machines are ready to roll.

The first day we manage to get all six rigs out at once, I’ll probably have a stroke from the excitement — but what a way to go. Our long-term goal is to acquire up to ten machines and then stop there, regardless of how much we grow. Ten rigs should be able to handle around 8,000 blowouts a season, which sounds excellent on paper… if we can find enough qualified people to run them. Seems like that part gets tougher every year.

At some point within the next five to ten years, we may consider selling the entire operation so I can actually retire — assuming we can find a buyer for 12,000+ customers and a small army’s worth of equipment. Maybe then I’ll finally try this thing people keep talking about called “relaxing.”

This kicks off our second week of the season, which means it’s Avimor, Dry Creek, and Hidden Springs day. We always try to get as many people on board as possible to cut down on return trips — but somehow, it never quite works out that way. Once we finish the current list in the area, more requests will roll in. Happens every year, like clockwork. We generally work in Garden City as well to finish off the day if there is time.
