Hi list,

So, once again, we are back to the pump discussion.  Well, I am taking the leisure suit out of the closet because all good things seem to come back :0)

I have a pogo pump.  It is one of the old ones.  I wish I had waited to buy one of the newer ones, but it works ok for me.

I am not too thrilled with how the base goes on the bottom.  You need to use a balloon to squeeze it in and make sure it stays.

I also have a problem with the toppling over as it does not stand straight.  

However, it is the pump I have been using for the last 8 years.  It is a part of me, and even though improvements have been made and there are other brands of pumps, I just can't seem to or want to part with it.

In the good old days when I was reading books by Joe LaMonica, about 23 years ago, I used a hand pump and I actually used a pump that I used for my basketball as well.

Thank goodness for the improvements and men like T. Myers who saw the need, and did something about it.  I still swear by all of his products and when I do eventually retire my Pogo to a nice retirement community in Florida, I will purchase another pump from him.

Thank you for listening.  OK people, move along, there is nothing more here to see :o)

Enjoy inflation (only balloon twisters do),

Leonard
