termite 463 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I do vacuum pumps and air compressors, mainly for the medical field. When you are laid open on the operating table and bleeding like a stuck hog and the doctor screams SUCTION, that's my pump, or when they give you breathing treatments with "medical air", that's my compressors. SO, the next time you are in the hospital, ask yourself, did I ever piss off Termite, We've got some vacuum pumps in shop now from a nuclear plant on the east coast. Does anyone know how they hold a beer can when they print the label, YEP, that's what I do. Ever wonder how they get 99% of the water & die out of the carpet when it's made, or how do they get the guts out of all those chickens at the processing plant, or how they get the water out of paper when it comes out of the head box. YEP, my job SUCKS.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I live in Lansing, but need to get out of the city! I think I met you briefly at the pumpkin shoot at the pit last fall. I have a great example of a double edged sword. Good news, is I don't have wife/kids or any ties anywhere, I have nothing. Bad news, no ties anywhere and I have nothing. I always try and keep a positive attitude and things always end up OK, it just gets tough because my background as a CPA and a bachelor's in Economics and a bachelor's in Finance, not that others don't, but I really understand how fucked this country is! http://usdebtclock.org/ these numbers just don't add up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
