Joe managed to get his alternator replaced early yesterday morning and was practically begging<\/em> for a route \u2014 and let\u2019s be honest, we can\u2019t turn down that kind of enthusiasm, can we? I threw together a quick route for him, but it was more of a sneak attack than a planned mission. Since it came on suddenly, there wasn\u2019t time to send out notifications. Most folks were thrilled to get their blowouts done and didn\u2019t care about the hows, whys, or wheres \u2014 \u201cget \u2018er done.\u201d We did hit a few locked gates, but that\u2019s par for the course\u2014no harm, no foul \u2014 just another day in Sprinkler Blowout Land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was an interesting moment Joe told me happened yesterday. He pulled up to a customer\u2019s house and saw two guys from Sagehorn Landscape next door, already wrestling with their hose in the backyard. Joe hooked up, fired up the compressor, blew out his customer\u2019s system, wrapped up, and was gone while they were still mid-zone. That\u2019s why The Maintenance Shop<\/em> runs like a NASCAR pit crew on espresso \u2014 fast, efficient, and stealthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re basically the ninjas of sprinkler blowouts. One customer actually told me that once \u2014 she left for ten minutes to take lunch to her kid at school, came back, saw water on the sidewalk but no sign of the tech, truck, or compressor. Then there was another time a customer only realized we\u2019d been there because they saw water on the ground \u2014 their Ring camera didn\u2019t even pick up our tech! We\u2019re so fast, even the doorbell cameras can\u2019t keep up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joking, of course\u2026 but honestly, I\u2019ve had people knock on my own front door and Ring didn\u2019t record it. We can land a rover on Mars and communicate with it every day, but have technology work flawlessly here on Earth? Not a chance. \ud83d\ude80\ud83d\udcf7\ud83d\udca8<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On another note, I FINALLY<\/strong> got the stats page up and running. It was supposed to be done two weeks ago, but when one guy is doing the work of five people, things can get a little hectic. I spend most of my day polishing my chair with my keester while staring at four monitors, trying to keep this circus running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One monitor is for text communication, one is for my calendar for scheduling, one tracks routing so I can see where my techs and rigs are at all times, and the last one is for form submissions coming in. On top of that, I\u2019ve usually got about ten tabs open on each<\/em> monitor, switching back and forth like an overcaffeinated air-traffic controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And at my age, I\u2019ll open a new tab, stare at it for ten seconds, and forget why I opened it in the first place. It\u2019s basically a high-tech game of hide-and-seek \u2014 only the thing hiding is my memory. \ud83d\udcbb\u2615\ud83e\udde0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
