I have been moving around a lot of my stuff lately and came across this piece of cardboard...It's from 2006 right after I bought my first machine, a VF90, we called it Project Vendo at the time.  I really had no clue what to expect and after getting the machine, tearing it down, and doing a full resto, it's funny to read the checklist and see what I was thinking back then.  Machine ended up taking me about 6 years to finish, and a good 15-20 machines have been through my hands while working on this one.

Still waiting to schedule the Project Vendo Party.

Tom,

I like the "buy beer", "fill with beer" and "project vendo party" theme to getting this machine going.

Time to party!

"Buy Beer" should have been first on the list!
