The Grease gun

Its funny some of the past stories that you suddenly remember . I had forgotten this one until this morning .

In 2002 I went to Panama to begin work on the main house . We rented a big Cement mixer and hauled it to my island in the canoe . Damn near tipped over a couple times but we made it .
We had 150 yards of concrete to mix on site and I told the helppers that twice a day we needed to grease the gasoline powered mixer . One of my helppers told me he had a grease gun and I could use it . I purchased a big supply of grease in the tubes .
The next morning the helpper proudly stood there with his grease gun prepared to grease the gears . I told him to grease it up and lets get going . He started unscrewing the grease gun and dipped his finger into the tube to get grease . I watched surprise and told him he could just pump the handle . He informed me that the handle was for carrying the grease gun and it had never worked anyway . I borrowed his grease gun , opened the vent and primed the gun until it starting working correctly . They had that grease gun 10 years and never had used it by pumping the handle :smile:.
I still smile about that day .
