IMPORTANT UPDATE:<\/p>\n
Due to technical difficulties, Jacob will not be in Star today.\u00a0 Star will resume tomorrow, and I will try and redo the calendar tonight, but it is likely pushing everything else one day out.<\/p>\n
END OF UPDATE<\/p>\n
Yesterday didn’t go as smoothly as I would have liked in Meridian and Star, but Jesse rocked in Kuna.\u00a0 We ran into system issues the Meridian 83646 so it put me behind by two hours, leaving 5 blowouts left on my route that I intended on doing.\u00a0 Jacob had some issues in Middleton and Star which through him off as well.<\/p>\n
For those who have been following this blog for awhile, I am letting everyone know I have a follow-up doctor’s appointment at 8:15 this morning regarding the nerve ablation I had done last week.\u00a0 It shouldn’t take too long and I will be back on the road again.<\/p>\n
Jesse will be working in Kuna today again, and Jacob will be working in Star.\u00a0 It is unlikely that Jacob will finish his route because he has about 32 in Star, and he MIGHT get 21-25 with optimum working conditions and no system issues.\u00a0 Jesse will probably get the 26 he has remaining providing there are no issues to slow him down as he did 30 in Kuna yesterday.\u00a0 I wish I had his energy.\u00a0 I did a long, long, time ago.\u00a0 I have to keep reminding myself that I have more than twice his age………<\/p>\n
Since we have some colder night temperatures coming up I will be making some changes to the calendar to put emphasis on the areas that still have backflow preventers attached to their sprinkler systems.\u00a0 Even with the lower temperatures it won’t affect the backflow preventers in the ground, but there is a SLIGHT chance it could affect those that are above ground.\u00a0 Throwing a blanket or a bucket over the top of the ones above ground would protect them from freezing.<\/p>\n
There is still PLENTY of time to take care of those on pressurized irrigation.\u00a0 It literally takes two months of every day cold temperatures to reach down to the level of most sprinkler piping.\u00a0 On December 8 last year when it was around 24 degrees in Meridian I took my temperature probe early in the morning and did got a ground temperature reading of 35 degrees.\u00a0 Not freezing even then, and when it does get below freezing that deep it can still take a while to cause damage.\u00a0 So, hang in there, and we will get to you.\u00a0 As I have told readers before over the last several years I have blown out sprinklers when it was 13 degrees outside with snow on the ground without issue other than our machines don’t like the cold.\u00a0 Condensation produced by our machines that get in the hoses freezes and blocks the air supply when it gets cold.<\/p>\n
Jacob’s route for today: (He will likely NOT get through this list, but hopefully will come close)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n W Wildbranch St Jesse’s route for today:\u00a0 He MIGHT be able to finish this entire list<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n S Greenhurst Rd. These are some that we don’t know exactly where they are, but we think most are near the Meridian Rd and Hubbard Rd intersection:<\/p>\n S Baratheon Ave And finally, my list of stops for the day.\u00a0 Whether I can complete this list depends on how long my doctor appointment is in the morning.<\/p>\n NW 10th Ave \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[140],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sprinkler-blowouts"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Steven Crist","author_link":"https:\/\/www.treasurevalleyrepairs.com\/blog\/author\/admin\/"},"uagb_comment_info":13,"uagb_excerpt":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.treasurevalleyrepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.treasurevalleyrepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.treasurevalleyrepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.treasurevalleyrepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.treasurevalleyrepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3318"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.treasurevalleyrepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3318\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3323,"href":"https:\/\/www.treasurevalleyrepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3318\/revisions\/3323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.treasurevalleyrepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.treasurevalleyrepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.treasurevalleyrepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
