Have you ever had one of those days when it is cold you are working on the weekend and have to do a line job off the boom and everything seems to be going perfect...then.......

I was working on sat and it was cold -10 but sunny I am set up with 2 sections in through a loading dock door plus 150 feet of steel and rubber when.....

I go to prime out and the grout was water then sand and so on.... and me talking in 10 diff languages.... anyway dumped it out and was going to wait for another load of grout but with 2 hot loads with steel fiber in it and a high early mix that was going off by the second figured I would prime dry...sorta.....lol I put in 2 slickies in the port added nice hot water and began to stroke. I figured I would plug for sure some where considering the wonkie position my boom was in but with 20 guys standing around hey......

Would you believe it primed out through the boom through the pipe and through the rubber. I honestly thought I would be busting pipe somewhere and not a problem.

Now here is the real f up no where to wash and with temps dropping the wind howling I had to go find somewhere to wash go to a site open the hopper and well if I was 5 minutes longer it would have been rock....f.... hard

so feeling so lucky I went and bought my lottery tickets and you will never guess what happened.....They did not win......lol not even one number come up....lol

In other words you exhausted all your luck on the job? Just be lucky your number did'nt come up earlier in the day Zman!

I've found that lady luck works a bit different than you'd figure sometimes. For instance, had you not gotten such a sweet prime and had to beat it all the way out the end and spent two hours in the hopper with a bar and hammer. That might have helped your chances a lil better with the lotto tix?

It's times like that when the old adage applies.

"I would rather be lucky than good anyday" That's how you learn those old indian tricks called wisdom.

feel lucky I read in the paper this weekend man bought lottery ticket came home gave tickets to his wife had a massive heart attack and died two days later she checked the numbers 10 million dollar ticket now thats the kind of luck I have

luck is being called for jury duty and being the last named pulled for dismissal and hearing the judge say as you walk out the door "the rest of you are the jury". I LOVE LADY LUCK TODAY!!!!!

Luck is having a wife that you can depend on ;~)

A 50 year old concrete pumper was at the mall shopping with his wife. After a while he realized that he had no idea where she was.

Being an old married guy he walked up to a 20 something beauty queen and introduced himself. “Good morning Miss I wonder if you would mind helping me for a moment?”

She smiled and said, “What is it I can help with, I am waiting for a friend and she will be here in a jiff.”

“Well I seem to have gotten separated from my wife while shopping; this will only take a second or two.” He said, smiling.

“OK,” she said, “but I don’t know what I can do to help.”

“Well,” he said, “for the last 31 years, every time I talked to a strange woman she showed right up.”
