I couldn't find a 81D so the kids and I decided to make one. Sure keeps the sodas cold and it's energy efficient. Thanks for the idea Steve.

Nice Work!  No shortage of snow where you are!

Glad you didn't make it a RC 81.  Thats alot of Yellow snow.

That's really cool! And to think that a lot of the people I know here are still hoping for "at least one good snow" this winter. If we get one I might get my son out there to help me build a snow machine.

That machine looks to be in really nice shape.  Any chance the wife will let you move that one into the house?

Thanks all. The only thing I could find around the house to color it will was red Gatorade. I just used a spray bottle to apply. The yellow snow comment is hilarious! I think its a keeper till it gets warmer.

Rick Dale can restore that to water no problem for 5500.

He just needs a few parts from a swap meet to finish the job.
