Hello Glen,

QUOTE

do you need any additional pictures for the library?

Is there a way to take similar photos so there isn't so many reflections, mainly the other machines, as this distracts from the cooler...?  The back view primarily as it's difficult to view through the back window glass due to the blue and red colorations...

Thanks ! ! !

Thanks to all who helped (you guys)...  My health is getting better.  I only have 4 more months of chemo with 6 months of radiation to folow.  But, what the hell, that is a cake walk.  After all, I've got Glen helping me all the way.  Except, don't any of you guys get sick.  Glen will NOT visit you in the hospital.  He just can't make himself go inside.  

Unfortunately, while undergoing my chemo treatments in April I had 2 massive heart attacks.  The Dr had to put the chemo on hold while I recovered from the cardiac events (I have had a total of 8 so far).  In May it was decided that I needed a pace maker.  decided not by me but by the Dr.  After having open heart surgery in May to install (insert) it, my body started rejecting within 2 weeks.  "My My", says the heart surgeon, "I guess we'll just have to take it out".  The **** you say, says me...  Well, guess who won???  It came out at the first of June.  Now I have a big hole in my chest for the infection to drain out.  But, the up side is I have a beautiful nurse who comes to my home 3 times a day to give me an anti infection drug and also to change my bandages.  (I tried to get Glen to change the bandages but after he came to he wouldn't talk to me).  Anyway, I have 4 more weeks of this crap (except for the beautiful nurse) and than I go back on the chemo treatments.  I'll try to keep you guys updated and if I don't Glen will for sure.  Thanks again.   '>  '> Garry Lee (Freeloader)

P.S.  Someone said that this cooler would surely be the hi lite of anyone's collection.  They are absolutely right.  Everyone's collection except mine.  My wife has "Tolerated" my Coca Cola collection for the entire 30 years that we have been maried.  but, she hates it.  She has also informed me that when I die she is having a yard sale.  Can anyone in their right mine imagine that???  Can anyone imagine going to a yard sale and being able to buy this beauy for $10.00'>

P.S. P.S  The biggest Thank You of all goes to Glen.  He is truly a great friend...

Beautiful work guys.  Not that it is for sale, but what would the value of something like that be ?

Keith

[FREELOADER]

It is for sale.  You can buy now for $18,000. or you can wait until after I die and then you can pick it up for $100.  (But, fair warning, you had better be early to the yard sale).  Garry

So Garrry, how about sharing some  stories behind your collection? There's got to be some interesting wheeling,dealing, and stealing yarns, so don't hold out on us>
