Title: block party Post by: ld26 on September 19, 2015, 12:17:30 pm started a tradition last year of bringing out one of my machines to use for our annual block party, everybody always gets a kick out of it, this year I'm gonna use the mission slider I picked up a few months ago
Title: Re: block party Post by: Jared on September 19, 2015, 12:34:05 pm That's awesome enjoy
Title: Re: block party Post by: Eric on September 19, 2015, 03:24:05 pm Killer!... Never know... someone may show up and say.. "Hey I have a old cooler like that".... Doesn't hurt to advertise and get the word out
and is awesome to let them see some use.. That is a nice one... Don't see that one everyday... You gonna charge to let them see the rest of the museum? :smile: Title: Re: block party Post by: Slider-Bob on September 19, 2015, 03:57:24 pm Leonard has a nice Mission also. Yours looks great. Congrats!

Title: Re: block party Post by: ajf5577 on September 19, 2015, 10:16:12 pm What time should we show up?
Title: Re: block party Post by: ld26 on September 20, 2015, 08:46:43 am Well nobody showed up saying they had one in their basement but few people commented on how cool it was and the kids liked getting soda out of it,
One guy down the block said he works in construction and sometimes finds old machines in the basements of the buildings they are working on, he said they usually scrap em, brutal, he said he'll bring them to me next time, hopefully one day ill get surprised with something good Title: Re: block party Post by: Eric on September 20, 2015, 09:11:29 am Scrap 'em!? How brutal is that to hear... Well I hope he finds you a killer one of a kind one.
Probably brought back a lot of memories to some. Our youth group had a old Pepsi slider I remember getting sodas out of... Grape and/or Orange Crush ice cold... it was awesome! Title: Re: block party Post by: BONOVOX on September 20, 2015, 12:58:47 pm Awesome!
Imagine if he knocks on your door and says he found a RC 81 ! If so, you would have to throw a THANK YOU block party! :laugh: Title: Re: block party Post by: ld26 on September 20, 2015, 01:23:11 pm I would not be upset if that happened, ha
Title: Re: block party Post by: spoggy on September 20, 2015, 05:10:33 pm That's a pretty cool idea, and what a great way to introduce the "young-uns" to a piece of history that can be alive for them.
Steve Title: Re: block party Post by: ajf5577 on September 20, 2015, 08:52:41 pm And.... Advertise that you'd be the guy to tell about the old Cooler in Aunt Tilleys garage.
Title: Re: block party Post by: SIGNGUY on September 24, 2015, 09:04:56 am We just had an outdoor Packer Football Party on Sunday Night , projector in the backyard, cold beer/and pop served out of my Westy Jr and also out of my Glasco 50.
People get a kick out of seeing these old machines in service! sorry no picks of cooler, just backyard sorry to hack your thread LD.. Title: Re: block party Post by: ld26 on September 24, 2015, 11:23:18 am ha not a problem, cool to see how other members use their items...
Title: Re: block party Post by: tkaz on September 24, 2015, 11:38:42 am That's great to have the old machines out there, I have always wanted to pick up a slider for that reason, just wheel it out of the garage for a party.
On a somewhat related note, I used to do the outdoor projector thing often and took an old aluminum cooler and put in an amp, dvd player, OTA tuner, and speakers so I could just throw it in the truck and setup the projector where ever there was a plug. I might need to break it out again for some scary movies this Halloween. |
