I hung up my remote a good while ago but I have to say that I never hurt anyone either, Pudg. It does feel pretty good to be able to say that doesn't it. ;~)

been pumping since late '01       never had an accident,    HOWEVER keenly aware that it is always just a bad decision, or looking away for a second to change that.

Don't forget, you are only as good as your last bad job !!!!!!

Yank,

You are so rite,I wasn't boasting I was just wandering because in those 20 there has been plenty of close calls where god was just with me and got me thru the day safely,and I know it could happen today,but I truly believe in safety first and try to see any warning signs of danger and react to them as I think best it may not always be rite but if it gets me and my coworkers home safe another day thats really all I can ask for and I'll get ready for another safe day.

I Had a good teacher! My DAD. I Been around pumps for 39 years now, I Started running a 740 at 18 years old LOL. If you Don't know what that is !!! Don't worry! Ask BOB. In over 39 years I Never hurt anyone to the point were they had to go to the doctor, Pumps these days are building a lot more pressure . And one more thing! Never had a boom party in all these years, I Thank my DAD for that.

Your old man was a rough old cobb and a real deal concrete pump operator. I'd say you had one hell of a teacher.

Guys like him are the ones that should get the Pioneer awards, but he wasn't ever a politician; not phony enough.

You were a lucky kid! ;~)

How is it going up there in the northland?
