Joe wrapped up our current list in Avimor, Dry Creek, and Hidden Springs, then capped off the day with a handful in Garden City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every year, we <em>try<\/em> to knock out all the blowouts in those three subdivisions in one big push. And every year, like clockwork, the day after we\u2019re done, more requests roll in. It\u2019s like they wait until we pack up just to keep us humble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that\u2019s okay \u2014 we don\u2019t leave anyone behind. Even if it means going back to areas we\u2019ve already \u201ccleaned up,\u201d we\u2019ll do it. Around here, d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu comes with air compressors, muddy shoes, and a strong sense of determination&#8230; or stubbornness. Hard to tell sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ben had a solid day working the Boise 83709 \u2014 our third busiest zip code for blowout requests. The two Meridian zip codes still take the crown, making up about a third of all our jobs, but 83709 is hot on their heels. Seems like every sprinkler in that zip code knows when it\u2019s blowout season and wants in on the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had a few interviews yesterday for a sprinkler blowout technician and ended up hiring one who\u2019s starting today. I\u2019ve got another interview lined up this afternoon \u2014 right after I spend an hour with our tax accountant and pay her $500 to file a return where we owe $12,000. Ironic, isn\u2019t it? Gotta love the system \u2014 paying to pay. Nothing says <em>fun<\/em> like shelling out money just to find out you owe even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re running all three rigs in the Meridian 83642 today, so if the new guy runs into any hiccups, someone will be close by to lend a hand \u2014 or at least offer some friendly \u201cconstructive criticism.\u201d It\u2019s rarely about the blowouts themselves, though. The real challenge usually comes from entering data into the <em>awesome, proprietary system<\/em> I built myself. \ud83d\ude06 Let\u2019s say it\u2019s not quite NASA-grade\u2026 but it works. \ud83d\ude80<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the routes for today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe With &#8220;Blowzilla In Meridian 83642<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Tessa Avenue<br>Hearst Drive West<br>West Hearst Street<br>North Manship Avenue<br>North Ten Mile Road<br>North Haven Cove Avenue<br>West Jayton Drive<br>North Mineral Wells Avenue<br>West Northgate Avenue<br>Northwest 7th Street<br>West Cedarburg Drive<br>North Crestmont Drive<br>Northwest 1st Street<br>East Grandburg Court<br>East Florence Street<br>East Congressional Drive<br>North Middlemist Place<br>East Belfast Bay Drive<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ben With &#8220;Leroy&#8221; In Meridian 83642<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">West Tenderheart Lane<br>West Henrys Fork Drive<br>West Woodington Street<br>West Elias Drive<br>South Seagrass Avenue<br>West Bear Track Drive<br>West Whitehall Drive<br>West Olds River Drive<br>South Hibernation Place<br>South Ice Bear Way<br>South Alaska Way<br>South Broken Limb Avenue<br>East Forest Ridge Drive<br>East Fallingbranch Court<br>East Oakbrook Court<br>South Bailey Way<br>South Weimaraner Way<br>East Borzoi Court<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, lastly, our new guy Ryan with &#8220;Purple Rain&#8221; In Meridian 83642<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">West Balance Rock Drive<br>South Sunset Point Way<br>West Snow Canyon Street<br>Verbena Drive<br>South Flintstone Avenue<br>West Bayeux Drive<br>West Gander Street<br>Joshua Street<br>West Waltman Drive<br>West Loon Street<br>West Egret Drive<br>South Moonstone Way<br>West Waltman Lane<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything went pretty smoothly yesterday in Sprinkler Blowout Land \u2014 which, as most of you know, is about as rare as finding a working sprinkler head after a gopher convention.
