Last night my wife registered a complaint with me and the concrete pumping industry.

She said “ You know how you yell out concrete pump when ever you see one while driving down the road? “ I said yes,  “well on my drive to work there is a lot of construction going on and I see at least one or two pumps each way to work and back” I said ok so…. “well when I saw the first one I wanted to yell out Concrete Pump like you always do but stopped myself because I was alone in the car.” I said Ok. “well it really started to bug me I still had to yell out CONCRETE PUMP I could not help it I had to yell it out.” I started to laugh. Than she says ‘ well I felt like a fool being all by myself and still playing the concrete pumping game. Anyway down the road I see another Concrete Pump, the urge builds up and boom I yell CONCRETE PUMP.

So I say  “so what’s the problem?”

That's way to cute.I had Timothy started at age 5,much better eyes than me.It's ok 7:30 mud in the mourning with bbcp,an up close look for him.

PROBLEM?

COMPLAINT?

no way

Indoctrinated......... yes

great story ;~)

Have you noticed that when you are heading in one direction, you see pumps going the other way as well as your direction. Pumpers from the east go west to work a job and visa versa. The guys from north of town always go south.

QUESTION? How can it be so, that pumpers can never get a job in their own town? In most cases rates are not considered.

lamo, so true about never getting a job in your area. I am out of town 95% of my jobs, granted they are not far but so true is your observation I see it all the time too.

my wife gets sick hearing( i pumped that building ,slab ,wall or bridge) but what the hay;it put food in yur belly. 

Todd, that is so funny.  My wife and family do the same thing.  Last night we were talking about our trip tomorrow, from Quincy down to Coalinga, I told her, "this will be fun, we can play "boom pump" all the way down".  Last trip she won the game just north of Sacramento, she got a hat trick in one subdivision....lol.

Much like playing slug bug with the kids.
