I was hoping to see if this would stir some interest in some of the members besides the Michigan Mafia. maybe put some ideas in some of the members heads , a soda-machines.com presents there or in the future. it could be cool. Pat  |

It would be cool to put together a deal for our members with their members and do it at the same fair grounds same time that way you would have the best of both worlds there Gas & Soda stuff and thay would ,and maybe a cook out that Saturday night for just our members . Just a Thought thats all. |

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

This morning I was running late and forgot my travel mug, so I stop and the local BP to get a coffee.. it was packed so I had to park next to a gas pump and when I got out the car and looked down and from the corner of my I eye I saw something green that looked like money I picked it and unfolded it and was pleasantly surprise to see it was a $50.......
Finding a $50 next to a gas pump the day before the Petroleum show..... must mean it’s my destiny to take it (along with a few other like it) and buy something special at the show I just don’t know what yet….. It faith and is meant to be…. well, at least that what I going tell my wife when I haul something home…..

I have Pictures , And Brian sorry we missed you We had a guy who was looking for a slider and keep stopping by we told him you were going to be there, . I would like to tell you a story and then please decide what you would do, Lets say your one of the first people there when they open the gates , you drive around to your spot and unload you notice that you are right across from the portalpot you decide well I have every thing unloaded should make a call to one of the other guys who is going to be there soon , So you made the call left the message and now decide to go over and use the portalpot ( MOVING FORWARD) finish up decide you had better tuck your shirt in better and as you do your cell phone which was in the case on your belt pops off take a bounced and splash right into the pot , WHAT DO YOU DO ? Do you leave it and call it loss or Do you call out OH MY GAWD NOOOOOO then walk out walk over to your truck get a glove out and walk back over stick the gloved hand in and HOPE  you pull out your cell phone  OK it was me and yes this really did happen I pulled the battery and let it dry out till about noon and now it work fine |

It was great meeting you guys (Pat, Johnie & Ray). The Sinclair dino was cool, but out of my budget. I thought that you were going to keep the slider story going for at least the weekend!

Pat - I was always paranoid about that and it almost happened a couple of times (but took a nice bounce).
Now I just keep it in my pocket set to vibrate and ring. The hard case they make (and I bought) for my phone doesn't work very well anyway.
Looks like a good time. Did you sell anything?

Sorry I could not make it guys! My truck took a dump!!! Should be ok, but in route had some issues. It has 250k on it, and it is a good one, but she needed some love! So, off to the shop she went. Next year I will be there! Still got the Barq's slider safe and sound.

At least people don't think you stink when standing next to them with your phone on your belt! Or do they?? You know it's bad when the wife says " Don't you have to close to the pot to get any signal " HA HA as she laughed... or "Look your phone has a blue glow to it " HA HA... she is not going to let this go for a long time. You can say that if your phone has a blue glow, it just means it is sanitary! It could have a brown hue! |
