I was speaking with Bob Sanderson tonight. I always appreciate Bobs experience and advice. During our conversation. He mentioned the concept of when to let something go. I thought it was interesting and wanted to share.

Personally, I like to win by default. I am not really a competitive person. When I want something, Such as a concrete pump. I won't quit! On my journey to get a concrete pump. I was insulted numerous x's and should have quit long before it was delivered. For example, I had a guy tell me. Al, you are like a Mexican immigrant that just crossed the border last year. You are trying to borrow more than a quarter of a million dollars! You are swinging for the fence kid. I told him well, that is better than sitting in the stands! Eight months later my pump showed up! Early on during the journey, My broker told me. It ain't over till you quit.

So if I may ask, when do you quit? This question is a general question. I am pursuing another business venture that is really busting my balls! Unfortunately I want it!

Never give up!! Semper Fi.

Once again Bob, True advice! Our attorney says the city (code officer) is hanging on to pride! Lawyers hang on to facts. The guy that is in my way, I want his job! Today I spoke with the Governors office, Local senator, Local Rep, Local, legislator. We have a problem! When I am done the city's Regimes landscape will be changed. Then I will have a Tavern!

Kick ass and take no names ;~)

Amen to that! $300,000 a year! That makes pumping look well, like something els! 

I don't think many concrete pumpers choose the slow, safe ,boring road to old age. Some day you'll look back and say? At least I tried.

A very wise man told me many years ago, aWINNER NEVER QUITS, and a quitter never WINS!!!!!!

 Be very careful Seed. I knew a man who had a couple pumps and then bought a bar and the local liquor store... He passed away a few years ago, very sad story. I'd imagine both of his pumps are still out there pumping somewhere? (they were Schwings)

 Sometimes our pumps are what keep us responsible and out of trouble, they give us a reason to wake up at 4am instead of falling a sleep at 4am? Beware of the night life brother! Trying to do both is a dangerous game! 

Interesting Too tall This is why we have chosen to close at 11 on the week nights. I appreciate you advice!

Seed never quit no matter how bad things are go for it , if you really want something you will make it work and work well , just be aware of your situation at  all times ..

Its not over tilll the dirt is on the box!!!

Ok now im going to invent toilets on pumps!

Funny Drew At least we can say our pump is not a toilet LOL!

Hey seed,  where are you at and how many pumps do you have?

i would have to agree on the statement of late nites that turn into early mornings that were already early mornings. espacally in the trade that were in if you have a rig you have a lot of money invested in it or you have alot of trust from someone else with there more
