SMC Discussion Areas

 Well I Would like everybody to know that the 2009 Calendar are done :happydrinkers:
 I will have them in my office before 5 PM today and I will start working
on getting them ready to mail out for Monday  I hope that will work for
everybody.

  I will be posting a few on Ebay to sell and there will be some for the                               soda-machine .com store   :smile:

 Just want to pass on the news .:happydrinkers: :smile:

PAt

Pat,

That is great news.  You talked about the Michigan SMC Mafia maybe getting together for the handoff and perhaps a few :drinking: .  Let me know the time and place!

Thanks to you and Eric for putting this together!  :happydrinkers:

Tim

Excellent, I'm looking forward to it!!  I don't know if I want to thumb through it or wait until each month is over and then flip to the next page and be surprised. :glare: :glare:

Thumb through it!! :tounge:

Well some bad new :down: I just got back from the print shop and there was a mistake on July so they are reprinting July so now I wont be getting them till Monday :down:.

 I'm really sorry about this guy,  I feel like I let you down .

   Sorry  :down:

  Pat

No worries, Pat!  We would much prefer a good QC (qual check) by you and a good product show up in the mailbox rather than something with a bunch of mistakes show up a couple days earlier!  Keep up the outstanding work!  ((My check is on its way to you now!))

Pat, I have to agree with Greg, a few days more won't hurt a thing.

No problemo!

Agreed, no rush we still have one month until 2009.

Pat, I said it wasn't a big deal that my didn't mark my Birthday  :tounge:

Just as long as I get it before 2010 AD. :biggrin:

Is the payment schedule pro-rated after 1-1-09? :-) Thanks for all the hard work Pat and Eric!! I've seen a glimpse and it is very well done. Not in any hurry here.
Creighton

Well thanks guys for being understanding on this, I'll get them on Monday
and start to get them ready for mailing Tuesday.

 Pat

 :biggrin:  Well the calendar are in I will start to get them mailed out.
I have more,  so if you want one more drop your cash in the mail.
 :biggrin:

I received my calendar today.  The calendar turned out very nice.  I was only disapointed with my placement.   :down: I was hoping to look at my picture for a month.  Unfortunately, mine's the thirteenth month.  :oh: I guess when I finish with December, I'll flip over to the end, look at my picture, and then toss out the calendar, and get ready to hang up the SMC 2010 calendar, or I can just hang up the last page and enjoy it for the whole year!! :biggrin: :tounge: :biggrin:  BUt that's no fun. :glare:

Got mine today aswell. Great Job !! Great Work  !!

Received my calendar today as well ! ! !
I have to say that I'm very pleased with everyone that submitted photos, worked on the calendar, and especially with Pat for putting this all together for everyone ! ! !
I think everyone should be very pleased with this years' calendar!

 :jawdrop:

I didn't get mine yet...  :darn:

Me either Bubba and I worked on it! :down:

  Don't worry Eric you will :smile:  remember I told you I was sending something else
along with your and everybody else who has a machine in this years calendar :smile:.


    The only ones that are left are the people who have a machine in the calendar
 except Larrys (sent you a PM  about that) and the vendors that have to be sent out
tomorrow .
   So I would say by Saturday or Monday or Tuesday check with your local Post office
 on delivery times  (Mine seam to end up at the neighbors house lately :upside: )

Cool!  I didn't know that!  The suspense grows!

Another Quikold? :hopefull:

Extra goodies?? Jees Pat you didn't need to do that. A big thanks to Pat for taking project lead and the financial risk. Nice work to Eric and the photo contributers as well.

Hope some of the guests on this board will pony up to at least buy one calendar.

Thanks!!
Creighton

Back, safe and sound, 18 hour round trip for my buddy Jeff Wolf. I also got to spend about an hour with our old buddy bc, Brian Charlton, while in Buffalo. He has a great 50's game room. Brian always makes you feel good, just to be alive. Nice place Brian. Thanks for the call Pat, always good talking with you. Even in a Snow Storm!

Curtis, Memory Lane Restorations

About the time you called Pat.

Glad your back Curtis , I think next time  you decide that your going to go get a machine this time of year make sure it is down south  :biggrin:  .

                                                              Leonard

WOW! Leonard that was a good one :laugh:
Hey whats this on my desk here in my office at work
it looks like Leonard two calendars  :laugh: :laugh:
Just joking with you buddy.

   Like I said everybody who has a machine in the calender
 this year  got two pictures of their machine so they can be framed
 and hung up or what ever you want to do with them.
those were sent out Friday. :smile:

Pat,
I received my calender today, you did a great job on it, good job to all.  I like the layout with the machine and the info captions, very professional looking.
Glad to see the meeting at Big Boy turned out, and sorry that I couldn't make it. Sounds like it was fun, hopefully I can make it next time.

Got mine today . Looks awesome . Great job you guys . Thanks :biggrin:

Got mine as well! Looks great! Thanks for the extras Pat!

Got mine from the pony express today... Very nice job... I like the little story going along with each pic...  :happydrinkers:

Pat,

Mine arrived at my Mom's house the other day. I am waiting for a few things to come in from ebay for her to send it to me. It is so expensive to send packages to Asia. To send a 12x12x10 box costs about $150! YIKES! We try to make the most of our care packages and send as much as possible at one time. Thanks again for all of you hard work on this calendar. I cant wait to display it at my desk.

Well I'm glad you guy got them I hope in good shape and not bent up
or anything the post office handed me the Dont Bend stamp
and I did get heavy on it  :biggrin:.

  If you know any body  that wants one there are still
 some left  :tounge:.

Pat

My Pony must have died or got lost in the snow... still haven't recieved mine yet?
Pat, PM and let me know what address you had for me?

John just sent you a PM send one back to let me know if that sound alright
with you .

for Christmas gift , thanks Zadd :smile:

 And folks you also can do that  these 2009 Calendar make freat christmas

A BIG THANK YOUgoes out to Jonnyfizz for buying a calendar
Plus I had a woman client stop in to pay her bill and she bought one                                  of the calendars   she said the machines looked pretty :tounge:.

 Pat

                                                      Leonard

1 Question ??  Thought we were Not doing Coke ??

    Of course not..........that stuff is illegal

  What coke stuff   :oh: SHHHH

Well the Pony express didnt die.. he was just real slow.. must be getting old.
GOT my Calendar today...Looks great Pat and everyone else who worked on it..

Eric Hats off to you and your graphic layouts! it really makes those machines jump off the page... Save room for my Barqs 81 or my Ol Smoothie Rootbeer Slider for Next year!

Glad you got it John and also glad you like it.
 As far as your machine which ever one you get done first
 we will go with that one first and save the next one for the
following year. :smile:

  Thanks again

     PAT

Now I too am a proud owner of the 2009 soda machine calendar.Great job Pat.I love the layout combining the restored machines, and some not-so restored, with the old ads.I happened to be at the window when I saw the postman pull up to our mailbox.I think he wanted to fold and cram that envelope in and be on his speedy way but then he backed up and pulled in the driveway and I met him outside and got it as crisp as could be.Good idea with the "do not bend "stamps,and it is close to Christmas,,,now I suppose he'll be expection a tip.  :laugh:
I'm looking forward to the 2010 calendar already,not that life doesn't whiz-by fast enough.
johnnyfizz

Johnnyfizz, Glad you like it  :smile: Eric Came up with the great layout and as far
as the restored and unrestored machine's  It was everybody who put a picture
 out there for this.

The Do not Bend stamp, the post office told me I can't handle the stamper any more
because over used it a bit much :down: , The goverment alway taking the fun out
of everything :laugh:.

Pat

Ok Guy's and Gal's I have about 28  calendars left that need to sell
 so maybe a  christmas gift for your little brother or sister
or how about a aunt or uncle  or maybe good old Grandpa :oh:.

  still holding  Calendars for Curtis & Greg Nelson
