This is the operators prayer that he says

To the pump gods every Monday as he

Drains the condensation out of his

Hydraulic tank

 

May I get enough hours to take care of my family

May I hurt no one

May my company prosper

May my check be for 63 hours every week

May all my pours be boom and tip

the proper suffix to a prayer to the pump gods is

Pour it out, driver

  Mine changes from time to time but I always include those basics. Sometimes I have to say a little prayer for what ever pump I'm in at the time. Other times I'm praying just to get mud out the end or to simply "get me through this pour". Lately I've been asking them for just one job a day. I've learned not to ask them for hours because sometimes the hours come by use of wrenches and rattle guns, but I'll take whatever I can get!

  Dont forget to thank them on Friday because on Saturday and Sunday,  they rest....                pour it out...

Doing some lightweight this morning. You bet I have done some praying. Went in yesterday just to cma and make sure I truly am ready. I started praying at 1pm yesterday and all night long LOL. May the Pump Gods be with us!

I usually say something like Please keep me safe, Keep my family safe get us through the day.
