Yesterday we cleaned 53 off our blowout list for the 83642 which was more than a third of the entire list of the area.\u00a0 Jacob made it out yesterday, as well as Jesse.\u00a0 We had to replace 150 feet of hose on Jacob’s machine yesterday morning, so he got off to a late start but got his route finished.\u00a0 Jesse got all but two of his.\u00a0 One he couldn’t find and one had a locked gate.\u00a0 My day didn’t go well at all.<\/p>\n
First, I needed to repair two leaks on the hose for my machine, and in the process of cutting the old hose away, the blade slipped and decided it wanted to get a piece of my finger.\u00a0 So, a few hours after some stitches and hose repair complete I started out on my journey.\u00a0 After 2 blowouts the chain on my electric reel decided it needed a vacation and slipped off.\u00a0 Of course, it does that when there is 200 feet of hose on the ground so I had to roll a 200 lb hose up by hand with one hand containing stitches that I almost tore out in the process.\u00a0 I drove the compressor back to my shop and repaired the hose reel and wound up the hose again, and took off for my third blowout of the day.\u00a0 I finished that blowout and the chain came off AGAIN.\u00a0 So, AGAIN I had to roll up the hose by hand and head back to my shop and call it a day.\u00a0 In the morning I am going to take the entire thing apart and hopefully fix it enough to get me through the remainder of our season.<\/p>\n
We start an hour or so later in the morning when the temperatures get down to the high 20’s because air compressors aren’t fans of the cold and they work much better when it is above freezing.\u00a0 It’s funny that all the piping in the ground is fine, but the machines needed to get the water out of said pipes don’t work as well when it’s cold.\u00a0 Jacob’s machine doesn’t like to start in the morning without a fight even though we leave a heater going full blast inside all night.\u00a0 After it gets warmed up it works great all day.<\/p>\n
So, obviously I didn’t get very far on my route yesterday, so I am going to start there first and I have added some new streets for after.\u00a0 I am not sure how long it will take to get my reel going properly, so I didn’t stack my day too heavily.\u00a0 Below are the streets we will be visiting today.<\/p>\n
