\n\tYesterday was cut short by my wife's birthday, but covered most of the homes on my route for the day except for four. I will try to get them finished after Middleton and Star. There are only 1 in Middleton and 16 in Star unless some cancellations came in for the area. There will be no posted route for the day because we should have no problem completing the Middleton and Star blowouts. I will try to get text reminders out early in the morning.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tToday the price goes up for new sprinkler blowout requests as it does every year on November 10. The price increase is to try and slow down new requests, but it rarely works. It is also because as we finish areas it makes it more cost effective to reach them.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tWe haven't updated our stats page in several days, and hope that will be coming soon as time permits. I will say that we have already surpassed last year's sprinkler blowout requests by more than 100, and I am sure we will get more in, and even with cancellations we should have a new record.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tI appreciate those who have donated funds for the Meridian Food Bank Turkey Drive, but surprised there isn't more. We have had a total of 5 donations; $50, $30, $25, $20, and $5 for a total of $130. Much appreciated, but surprised that is all the response that we received with over 1,000 people contacted. The donate button is showing below.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe drive runs for us between 6-8 p.m. tonight, so there is still time to donate if you wish. We will pick up remaining turkeys once I am done for the day on sprinkler blowouts.\n<\/p>\n
