How many pump operators get lazy at times? Well I did it and am paying for it. Working late on a current job and decided to suck back a soft ball to speed up the wash out. I has bit me in the ass for two days now plugging in the boom becuase of the biuld up.

I think we're all lazy , maybe I should say we like to do things the easy way and don't make things more difficult then they are.

Danger slips in when we are on automatic pilot en work on routine. A minor change can cause great problems. I unfolded the boom once while the outriggers wheren't out because someone interupted my routine.It went just right but it could have been worse.

Like you sucking the ball back , always take your time and stay sharp. problems are just around the corner.

yep,if it looks like an aligator it will probably bite you somewhere
