I whant to say thanks to all the pionners of our industry. wow from a stick boom to a 70m. Id realy like to kick the you know what out of the guy that got me started in pumping but insted ill just say thank you dad! its been a wounderfull 20 years. thank you dave fore all the talks on poeple skills(sorry they didnt work). to all the outhers along the way. THANK YOU ALL FOR 20YEARS OF MEMORIES!!

I would bid you fare well if I knew who you were, or maybe I would beg you to stay? Sounds like you got a few too many bad "memories" dude? You're a boompumper, You'll be back...

Thank you tootall. but no i will not be returning. some good and some bad momeries. u see i went from pumping concrete to pumping gas to feed my family. dont get me wrong im not complaining. id do anything for my wife and kids. some will say thank god he is gone some will say i wish hed stay(not to many). but i realy dont care its not for me that i do what i do its for my family. the pumping bussnes has been verry good to me. the economy however has not as we all have been hit by it.

Boom - Get the chin up. Do what you have to do. You are doing the right thing in doing what you have to do for your family. Just never say never. All the best to you always.

There are a few of here that know that drill very well.Once this industry is in your blood it will never leave.In these hard times it's good just to put food on the table.Get through the rough spots and when the economy changes you can then look at it better.Besides that we all need friends in this business,old and new.

I've done my share of jumping from pasture to pasture to know that sometimes the grass really is greener on the other side of the fence. Especially in the over run fields of today. I have lately made my green by cutting cord wood and driving a limo on weekends to make ends meet. But it never fails, before too long I find a pump to hang my hard hat in. Sometimes the pump even finds me?

Cheer up dude, instead of "Thanks for the memories" and fare well... Change your tune a little? How bout "We'll see you all in the spring or summer, in the days of greener pastures"?  If this happens to be your first attempt at "leaving the industry Forever"... You'll know what we're talking about on your third attempt!

Whether its the switch on a remote box, a grease gun or a gas pump I still say... Pump On!  

im not to down about it. but i will miss the the cold windy days. lonly nights of eating warmed up dinner cus the wife and kids ate 5hrs ago. ill even miss the frozen hands feet and every thing else that freezes,no i wont!!  if i could only find a remote to operate that gas pump id be a lot happier. but the one thing ive lerned over the years is some times you must swollow your pride suck it up and just do  what you have to. no job i dont care what it it is worth your family!! on a personal note to thank those old timers who have made that sacrifise. id like to thank Ken,steve,waren,chester,lewis,johny, all of witch are the true meaning of a pump operator.
