If Only

15 Qawl 163 B.E. - December 7, 2006

If only I could say no, I wouldn’t have a soda machine setting in my garage taking up space; its one of those machines that you see in fast food restaurants, the kind that uses canisters of syrup to make the soda. A friend ask me two years ago if it was alright if he put it in my garage, he was going to clean it up and get it to working. The machine is cleaned up, but it was my significant-other-in-law (or is it outlaw) that cleaned it up. However, when he cleaned it up, he didn’t put the guts back in it and now I have the some of the inner workings taking up a shelf.

Anyway, the original owner of the machine is off somewhere attempting to find himself. My sister and significant-other-in-law are living in some little town in the mountains of Nevada. I have the machine taking up two different spaces in my garage.

If only I could say no … I’d have more room in my garage. Now I don’t know what to do with the soda machine. I’m not sure I can put it back together myself. Even if I could, then what do I do with it, put in the house and use it, sell it, give it away, or just leave it taking up space in the garage.
