Update

Just FYI that the quarters from this route go to me 1st.
That is because quarters cannot go directly from the machines to Paypal.
Since donations to both the Humane Society and to the Wildlife Waystation
are on auto-pay, the quarters go to me 1st.

Busy, busy, busy...

So this route is arguably a golden goose, okay, maybe a brass goose.
It drops coins every once and awhile with no overhead.
I don't really spend a lot of time with it.
Since there are comparatively so few machines, I can visit the route one day
each week, and get thru it within 4-6 weeks, every machine visited.

It takes up one morning every week, and I work in the area the rest
of the day.
It makes about $100 a month.
 I could sell the route for $1000.
It would take a year for this route to produce $1000.
The 2nd year would produce nothing because it would be sold.

I'll stay on the road and should I find work that pays more than my
route, only then can I afford to sell it.
In the meantime, it remains for sale on eBay for $6,500.00.

Selling Route, Not Selling Route

I have the main arm of my vending route up for sale on eBay,
check it out.
I kinda don't want to sell it, but I don't need it as much anymore.
It's slow profit, which I state in the auction ad.
Except that it is a beautiful route..!

Every machine is placed, brand new or like-new,
serviced and in tippy-tops shape!
The only reason the income is slow (Not non-existant,
just slow-going) is because I'm not a sales person at all.
A good sales-person could really sell this product.
You don't think it would make a difference, it does,
it's just not one of my particular skills at all.

Have an awesome St. Patrick's Day weekend..!
Stay safe, drive responsibly, support candy/gumball
machines and have fun!

Benihana's blue roof

With all the time on the road delivering, servicing, buckling/unbuckling seatbelts,
I got really sentimental when I drove over a hill and saw a bright blue tiled roof of
a Benihana's restaurant.
With all the work-at-homes and food deliveries, I wonder what people do on dates
these days?
Do they still go out to eat and to the movies?
I reminisced about visiting restaurants that had pools, ponds and waterfalls,
even wandering minstrels.
The lit ponds and showgirls can still be found in Vegas,
and the wandering musicians can be found around, too.
After a quick visit to the past, I returned to the road to reminisce later...

Life on the Road

I started out servicing my bulk vending machines in all their wonderful locations.
Then I naturally fell into delivery to a bunch of wonderful locations.
Definitely a service industry which is fine with me.

Brrr...

Thought we escaped that polar vortex thing.
Not so!
It got so cold, the chocolate in the plain M&Ms froze!
Do u know what happens when chocolate freezes?
It gets crumbly, as if it was really old, but isn't.
Fortunately, the candy stays room temperature in the locations,
but the stash I keep for myself didn't escape!
I know that the candy hadn't gone bad, so just let it melt
 like it's supposed to do, and was fine!

Happy Game Day 2019!

Enjoy Game Day today!
Question; if both teams pray to win,
and all the fans are equally divided and all pray to win,
how does God decide?
I say that He knows what He's doing...

Lots of Changes!

I haven't given up on Honor Boxes. Yet...
I pray and pray and sometimes get rather nasty responses!
Life is hard, and sometimes easy, but always temporary.
Am supposed to be retired by now, but can't, and am thinking about adding verses from Proverbs every once and awhile to share here.
1. The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2. To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
That's all I'm going to add right now.
The Bible can be very rough sometimes.
Who says it doesn't apply to today!?!

Happy New Year 2019

Lots of Vitamin C and warm weather, goodbye cold!
Back up and running on the road.
Yes, I not only try to test all product, taste tests are awesome,
are u kidding..?!? But I also I keep bubblegum on hand after
meals on the road. Works like a charm!

Have a safe and fabulous 2019!

Flu Season is Upon Us

I'm fighting the flu with everything I've got.
I think it's still just a cold, maybe even trying to be a cold.
I don't think I've ever gotten sick during summertime.

Stay safe on the roads this Holiday Season.
Remember to think of others and that everyone more likely
than not has a lot on their minds this time of year.
There are distractions, pedestrians, inebriations,
misunderstandings, and missed lights.
Work hard, stay safe, and give back.
