the pop box ..

jeff comes home from work on friday night .. he says .. hey babe .. i brought home the pop box .. pop box ?? .. i say to myself .. no .. it is sitting in the game room .. don't you hear it running .. pop box !! cash shouts .. wow dad .. i am thinking to myself again .. i do this alot .. cash .. do you know what a pop box is .. then .. i remember .. ohhh .. ughhh ... i say to myself .. the pop box .. what he means is an abandoned pepsi machine .. i see this on the back of his truck .. knowing full and well that they used the forklift at work and 3 big boys to get this on the back of his truck .. can you help me ? .. help you do what .. i ask .. out loud .. get this off the back of my truck .. sure .. why not .. we installed an 8 person basketball goal .. why not move a pepsi machine ..

no .. you don't have to he says .. i made noah come over to help .. thank god !!!  i had just had a manicure that day and i did not feel like moving a pepsi machine ..

so jeff and my savior .. noah .. wiggled the pepsi machine over to the forks on the tractor .. they were going to use the tractor like the fork lift .. and noah .. he is as strong as 3 big boys ..

they were having a hard time getting it to line up just right .. so that the forks would slide under the pallet that the pepsi machine is sitting on .. see here noah says .. you have to move it over .. really dude .. jeff says .. yes dad .. cash says .. move it over .. like noah said dad ..

good work fellas .. it is on the forks of the tractor .. now what .. ???

oh cash .. i wonder what kind of crazy things you are going to do when you grow up .. then i wonder to myself .. should he be watching all this .. is this giving him ideas .. i can see the wheels spinning ..

ok .. you back up and i will hold onto the pepsi machine ..

oh .. this tractor does not work like the fork lift ..

ok .. step one ... done ..  get pepsi machine off big truck .. now what .. where are you going to put this .. you are going to move my grill and put it there .. how am i going to grill i ask .. you aren't jeff says .. oh .. got it .. great plan ..

right there .. jeff says .. now .. in case you ever want to know how to move a pop machine from a pallet on a tractor onto the ground .. just watch ..

catch it quick before it falls over and breaks into a million pieces onto your pool deck .. and smashes the toes of everyone close by

tilt it backwards just a bit  ..

push it back with all your might ..

wiggle it even closer to the wall .. and then remember that you did not plug it in ..

pull it back out from the wall and plug it in so that it will really work ..

wiggle it back and then check to make sure that it is even ..

 dad .. yes cash .. can i put some rootbeer in there .. why sure cash .. what about orange pop .. sure cash .. you can put orange pop in there to ..  what about ellie's barbies dad .. can i put those in there to .. no cash .. no barbies in the pepsi machine .. and for the record .. we drink diet coke ..
