Sprinkler Blowouts For Saturday, October 25, 2025

Eddie decided he wanted to put in a part-time day today, so we’re giving him 10 stops right in his own ZIP code. Normally, we hand out 20-plus stops a day, but after knocking out an impressive 24 in Kuna yesterday, I’d say he’s earned the lighter load.

My nephew Challis has today off from his other job, so he’s jumping in to run the route Joe didn’t get to yesterday. We were originally going to put that route off until Monday, but Challis came to the rescue. Some of you longtimers might remember him from 2023 — and his brother Reese helped us out last year, so it’s kind of a family tradition at this point. We still miss our other family member, Jesse. He had a big impact in Sprinkler Blowout Land.

Challis will be driving my service truck and pulling Orange Julius (OJ), who’s back in service and ready to rumble after a short break. Between the two of them, I’m confident those sprinklers won’t know what hit ’em.

Now that OJ is back in service, we’ve got the chore of finding a permanent tech to handle this 210 CFM orange beast. It’s our next biggest compressor after Cyclone, which clocks in at a thunderous 250 CFM. OJ’s got a personality all its own—half Amazon driver, half postal worker—rain, snow, or sleet, it blows. Loud, proud, and ready to make sprinkler systems everywhere question their life choices.

We had someone ask yesterday why we don’t include house numbers on our route posts or sprinkler calendar. Fair question — and here’s the deal: we keep those numbers off for security reasons. It’s not about hiding anything; it’s about protecting our customers and our business. Believe it or not, there are companies out there that will try to race to our stops, impersonate us, or use our routes to hunt down potential leads. We’ve worked too hard (and blown too many sprinklers) to hand over our playbook that easily.

So, no, we’re not being mysterious — just careful. Think of it like a classified mission: we’ll tell you where the operation roughly is, but we’re not dropping GPS coordinates. Besides, if someone wants to steal our work ethic too, I hope they stretch first — it’s a lot of heavy lifting!
