# 2026-03-15 — Day 3 (Saturday)

## Status
**First wave complete.** All 36 hostel emails sent across 6 cities. Campaign sender is now cycling (sleep 30 min, recheck, sleep). Waiting for replies.

## Campaign Totals (confirmed by COO)
| Metric | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Total emails sent | **36** |
| Remaining | **0** |
| Cities reached | Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Darwin, Newcastle, Canberra |
| Batch 1 replies | 5 (36% rate) |
| Batch 2 replies | 0 so far (Saturday — expect Mon/Tue) |
| Errors/bounces | 0 |
| Threads monitored | 37 |

## What's Next
The email wave is done. Now the question is: **what comes back?** Monitor is checking 31+ threads every 10 min. Replies will come Mon-Tue when hostel staff are back at desks.

**Meanwhile, the highest-impact items that don't need replies:**
1. **Kill Fly.io** — $189/mo savings, plan ready, zero dependencies
2. **Desktop /schedule tasks** — session crons have EXPIRED, need permanent setup
3. **Poster printing + mailing** — physical follow-up for hostels that said yes or asked questions
4. **Facebook group posting** — separate channel, doesn't wait on email replies

## Decisions Still Pending (Rocky)
- [ ] Melbourne City Backpackers + The Drifter replies — respond to questions
- [ ] YHA Sydney Central resend method
- [ ] Kill Fly.io — green light?
- [ ] Install Context Mode

## Tasks Sent to COO
1. ~~Morning status~~ — DONE. All confirmed: 36 sent, 0 remaining, 0 errors.

**No new COO tasks.** System is autonomous — monitor is watching for replies. Saturday is quiet.

**Saturday opportunity:** While waiting for replies, COO can work on items that don't depend on hostel responses. Tasking Fly.io kill prep (DB export) since that's the biggest $ savings sitting idle.
