Way off-topic but I’ve been dropping vague hints about a change in daytime jobs for awhile. My first ice/water vending machine just went online and the second will hit the ground just before the Cody show. Poor timing but today was my first income since September 2017.

LOL. Day like today it’s a real pleasure to open those doors. 
Went up there to do some landscape work today and yesterday so knowing that a gallon of cold water was only a smart phone command away made it a bit more pleasant. Bad thing is there are two REALLY good restaurants within a half mile so mealtime site visits generally involve some excellent BBQ or comfort food. This old fat man is going to have a hard time losing weight doing business in this little town.
I didn’t make it by the orphanage this weekend but I didn’t gross enough to cover a brick of .22’s let alone another Winchester so this “Ice for Winchesters” scheme isn’t getting off to a great start.

Thanks, Al and Nick. I know the ice business seems a bit odd to folks in your locale but it truly is a big deal for Texans who work outside.

Now, if you could only set up an Iced Tea stand next to that, you’d have Texas’ National Drink luring the natives to part with their “Winchester Bucks”.

Maybe so, Wayne. Both restaurants mentioned above have pretty awesome iced tea. And yes, they brew it both ways.

Well, seems both machines are finally running quite well so I’ll be starting a new job Monday. I’d planned on going back to work at least six months ago but as some of you know bankers have their own timetables. If I hadn’t bought so many nice Winchesters (and taken several great hunting & road trips) I probably could have put off finding a job until after hunting season but It was a lot of fun and I acquired some exceptional Winchesters. Good thing I was looking for a job; a very good opportunity came along and I was fortunate to be offered a position with a company I’ve had a client/vendor relationship with for quite a few years.

I like the idea and the packaging. I would be a customer as I have often stopped and bought a bag of ice at a convenience store just to fill a couple of glasses while on the road. Best of fortune…………….

Thanks, Rick. Many of my customers this weekend are travelers. Seems to be a few parties going on, too.
