Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude. ~E.P. Powell

October and Halloween have passed with all of the newness of fall, and the spooky fun and leftover candy that comes at the end of the month.

Now it's November.  We're well settled into the Autumnal season these days.  Cooler weather, mulled cider and hot chocolate, that crisp, spicy smell that comes with newly fallen leaves are gracing our front door step.  It's during this time of year that our thoughts turn to the holidays upcoming, and our hearts turn to the joy of Thanksgiving.

At Pipeline we would like to take these weeks leading up to the holiday itsself to reflect on all that we, as a business, as a team, as individuals are thankful for.

This week, we are Thankful for:
  • 33 years of serving the CSRA with all of their work wear needs.
  • Our customers that made those 33 years possible!
  • A team of dedicated workers that understand the meaning of customer service, and the need for higher standards in today's business world.
  • The way that our team is more like a family that just individuals.
  • How so many of our customers have found satisfaction with our company and service that we know MANY of you by name!
So, Pipeline wants to know...what are YOU thankful for?

Join us in the true spirit of this month and take a moment to spread that appreciation that can only come from the depths of one's soul.

Leave a comment on this post with your "I am thankful for..." or you can leave your comments on our Facebook page. 

Pipeline wants to HEAR from YOU!

Haunted Houses...

...abound in the Augusta area this time of year! 

Everyone's gearing up for Halloween, and the easiest way to do that is to have the heebie-jeebies scared out of us by our favorite spooks and bogeymen. 

One of everyone's all-time favorites on the spook scale is Michael Myers, who makes his appearance at almost every haunted house you're likely to visit this year.

So, we're calling YOU, Mike!  The last time we saw you in a movie, that jumpsuit was looking a little worse for the wear!  (Not that we blame YOU, per se.  I mean, it IS rough business getting run over, shot, stabbed and set on fire!  But really, dude...have some PRIDE!)   Before heading out to your next fright, be sure to stop by your Augusta Pipeline to pick up some great duds for the occasion...

A frighteningly sweet deal at only
$37.99!
Now, we want EVERYONE out there to make sure and support their local spooks and visit as many haunted houses in the coming weeks as you can cram in!  For schedules of some favorites, please visit the website links below:

"Of autumn's wine, now drink your fill; the frost's on the pumpkin, and snow's on the hill."

Title taken from the 1993 Old Farmer's Almanac, courtesy of www.almanac.com.

Yes, it's official!  The first day of autumn has arrived!

Because Pipeline is committed to helping our customers be prepared for pretty much anything they may encounter on the job, it just seems to make sense that we should also help you get some things done around the house!

The following was taken from http://www.demesne.info/.  It's a "Top 10 Musts..." list for the autumn season.

If your time is at a premium and you need to prioritize what needs to be done around the house before winter sets in, the following list of essential tasks might help. Once you have these covered, read our comprehensive Fall Checklist for additional chores to securely batten down the hatches for the darkest part of the year.
  1. If you have a fireplace or woodstove, lay in a supply of wood as early as you can. Burn dry, dry wood. Keep fires small and hot to reduce buildup in chimneys.

    Store wood where it is dry but has good air flow. A covered shed is ideal, but a loose tarp can work just as well. Make sure it’s stacked off the ground to keep the bottom course clean and dry. Wet wood attracts insects. Don’t stack your wood right next to the house; leave at least a gap of a couple inches to avoid creating an insect highway to your home’s interior.
  2. Make sure that any backup heating source—such as a gas fireplace, woodstove, or pellet stove—is in good working order. For wood burning fireplaces and woodstoves, have your chimney cleaned regularly. The more you burn, the more often you should have your chimney cleaned.

    If you burn one-half to a full cord of wood a year, every two years for cleaning is probably okay if your wood has had at least a year to season. The greener the wood, the faster creosote builds up. Creosote can cause a chimney fire so it's not something you want to let go. Read more on
    chimney maintenance.
  3. Clean your gutters. It’s one of those chores that no one likes but must be done. In the fall, you may find it necessary to clean a couple times depending on what types of trees you have near the house.
  4. Make sure downspouts are free flowing and splash blocks direct water well away from the foundation.
  5. Check the roof and make any small roof repairs now. This is another important task. At the same time check ridge vents and make sure they are clear of any obstructions.
  6. Trees, bushes, and other foundation plantings need to be trimmed back away from the house. Any dead or diseased branches on trees need to be removed. This prevents bugs from taking up residence in your home, and reduces damage to siding, roofs, and gutters from whipping branches. In other words, nothing should be touching your house.
  7. Have your heating system serviced if you haven’t done it in a while. There is nothing worse than having the heat go off when it’s 25 degrees outside. And it always seems to happen to too many other people at the same time, so you have to wait and shiver until the heating guy shows up.
  8. Check your smoke alarm and make sure it’s functioning. If you have a carbon-monoxide detector, check it at the same time.
  9. Weatherize your home. Caulk joints where materials meet. The US Department of Energy says if you can pull a piece of paper out of a closed door without tearing you're losing energy, so check and replace weather stripping on all doors and windows. Install foam inserts in electrical receptacles on exterior walls.
  10. Set up your 72-hour stock of emergency provisions. Allocate a space; keep everything you’ll need in case the power goes off there. The Red Cross has a comprehensive list of recommended items.
There are many more tasks to do and this list of essentials may vary depending on your home and its requirements. Our monthly checklists and a comprehensive Fall Checklist should help you prioritize your seasonal chores.
Of course no autumn season would be complete without raking a metric ton of leaves off of your roof and out of your yard!  Don't forget to stop by your nearest Pipeline to pick up your essential cool weather gear!  Things like hoodies, a good pair of jeans or work pants, comfortable shoes and gloves can all be found at Pipeline, and they will make your autumn outdoor experience that much more enjoyable.

Pipeline helps YOU to get the job DONE!
