First day back after 3 month recovery

I fractured my L1 vertebrate at the end of january. I was geting down out of the truck when my left foot slipped on some ice and i landed on my tailbone, causing the vetebrate to compress and fracture.

So today was my first day back, and i had the hardest time sleeping last from the excitment. If I watched another episode of Dora the Explorer or Spongebob Squrepants I going to be in the loony bin for good. Concrete showed up and i began to prime when 4 strokes in I got the dreded grunt followed by the pressuring out, so i reversed it and tried to pump again only to pressure out 2  more times.  I was finally able to get slury out the tip only to find a massive piece of old crete ( GREAT WELCOME BACK GIFT).  Then with about three yards left the pump starts to lock up so I shut it off and swung outside of the pour to clear it, only to see that what ever was plugging it up twisting inside the hose.   Ended up being a piece of old fin.  Even with all these problems it was great to be back.
