Blowing Lines
When using air to blow out the lines my furthest water source is our outside kitchen. Is it best to just open the cold side and get all the water out then close and move to the next closest and open ...

I've never added pink stuff. I only blow my lines out. I open all the lines and blow for a few mins. I do open the low point drains, fresh water tank drain and empty the hot water heater prior to blowing. Haven't had a problem in 6 years. I live in Oregon and we don't get that constant really low temps in winter. I have other friends that just blow the lines and none have had issue either.
IMO it depends on where you live. I certainly wouldn't blow the lines if I were adding the pink stuff. Like mentioned it seems redundant.
X2, don't know about GoDucks10, but I may "Winterize" several times a season, as we go out year round.
I only blow the lines if temp is dropping to about 28, after a cool day, if day time temp get to 50 or so, 28 at night is still safe. I also blow if work takes me out of town for several days.
