Even after a few setbacks both of our routes went quite well yesterday. We were able to finish all that were on our routes. Today will be our final day in the 83709 and 83642 until the end of our season when we make our final sweep through the valley picking up stragglers. Any requests that come in today in those areas will have to wait for our next pass. We need to get to other areas now. Ground temperature in Meridian yesterday was 40 degrees.
The area with the lowest containment percentage is the 83704 which is only 31% contained, and also has several that signed up back in September when I sent out my reminder email to repeat customers which means they have been waiting the longest. We currently have 72 remaining in the zip code, having completed 33 on our first pass. We will put two rigs in the 83704 for Monday and Tuesday, and then reevaluate from there. In a perfect world with no system issues it would take us 2 to 2-1/2 days to finish the zip code.
I will work on a tentative schedule this evening once I get cancellations back from the email I sent out last night. If you didn’t receive our email, look in your junk folder. Also I received 20-30 bounced emails, mostly from Yahoo with “delivery temporarily suspended. Lost connection”, etc. I really don’t like Yahoo or AOL mail, but that’s just me.
