I SCREAM

[RIMSPOKE]

IT IS ALWAYS GREAT TO SEE SOMETHING YOU MADE

SHOW UP YEARS LATER WITH IMPROVEMENTS .

I BUILT A RATHER UNIQUE ICE CREAM MACHINE A FEW YEARS AGO

AND WE TRAVELED ALL AROUND NORTH CAROLINA SHOWING OFF

THE MACHINE AND SERVING ICE CREAM .

WE PULLED IT DOWN THE ROAD BEHIND OUR 1971 VW CREWCAB PICKUP .

THOSE WERE THE DAYS . WE WORKED HARD , HAD FUN & MADE SOME MONEY . THE LICENSE PLATE ON THE TRUCK SAID "I SCREAM" .

THINGS RAN THEIR COURSE & I ENDED UP SELLING THE MACHINE TO A FELLOW IN IOWA .

SO NOW HE SENDS ME AN E-MAIL WITH HIS WEBSITE & PICTURES OF THE MACHINE REFURBISHED IN WAYS I COULD NOT HAVE IMAGINED .

THE YOU-TUBE IS PRETTY COOL . YOU CAN SEE THE COUNTER ROTATING

DRIVE PULLEYS THAT SEEM TO HYPNOTIZE PEOPLE SOMETIMES .

( THERE IS A HONDA BACK UP MOTOR UNDER THE DECK )

HE HAS REPRODUCED MANY OF THE PARTS THAT I HAD MADE FROM WOOD & STEEL -IN POLISHED STAINLE$$ !

HE REFINISHED THE BUCKETS & PUT STAINLESS BAND CLAMPS ON THEM . THAT THING IS GORGEOUS !

HE ADDED AN ICE CRUSHER THAT IS DRIVEN OFF THE HIT-& MISS ENGINE .

I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF THAT MUCH LESS DID IT .

HIS CRAFTSMANSHIP IS AMAZING .

WHEN I PULLED IT DOWN THE ROAD , IT HAD A REMOVABLE HITCH .

HE SEEMS TO HAVE REPLACED THAT WITH A SWIVEL WHEEL .

IT RIDES IN A CUSTOM MADE ENCLOSED TRAILER NOW .

IT IS SO COOL TO SEE SOMEONE HAS PICKED UP WHERE I LEFT OFF

AND KEPT IMPROVING ON MY WORK . IT REALLY IS THE MOST SOPHISTICATED MACHINE OF IT's KIND OUT THERE AND IT IS GEARING

UP FOR ANOTHER SEASON .

I DEFINITELY SOLD IT TO THE RIGHT GUY .
