Wow what a great trip. I did some consulting work $$$ I love that kind of work by the way.

After the consulting work I was hoping to head over to get a factory tour at Sany but did not have enough time so I stopped in to see Pat Inglese of Pioneer Concrete Pumping. I have to tell you I was shocked I had no idea how big an organization he has. Pioneer Concrete Pumping is one big company and what a nice operation, I mean Pat has it down. If I believed in reincarnation I would want to come back as Pat. I have to say I think he is a fine example for our industry. I am very impressed.

I also got to meet up with my old friend Jim Bodeker which is always nice.

Pat also has a company called Enviro Systems which Tony Inglese runs. Hey Tony lets spend some more time together at the World of Concrete.

Pat is one busy guy, between

Well best wishes Pat, thanks for your hospitality it was much appreciated.

So how many pumps did you buy ?

LOL no pumps. I stopped pumping in the early 80's

Todd I have purchased a lot of stuff from Concrete pump supply Ronnie does a great job helping me, with fast deliverly. I order 4 peices of 2 1/2 inch pumping hose and had it next day to Clarksville,TN  right to my driveway.

I belive you. I was shocked when I saw how nice their place was.

I don't want to say it again but "I told you so"!! We have known Pat for at least 35 years and he is a good friend. Very nice Todd!

I know, your right again. Pat used to pick on me but I guess it was just that he picked on my becuase he liked me kind of thing.

The more I get to know Pat the more I find out we are a lot alike. He just has more money and is better looking than me and but we both have great wives.

Todd, thanks again for stopping in.  We always enjoy having visitors come by especially ones who are nice enough to plug us on their website!!  See you soon - Tony
