I’ve been in this guys shoes. Was working for a construction and crane service company and we did a lot of work on grain elevators.

We had to hang a conveyor in a concrete tunnel under a row of silos. Tunnel was 6’ tall and we had to hang ready rod from the ceiling.

Being the newest guy on the crew, I was “nominated” to drill a million 3/8” holes.

I don’t know how many holes I drilled, but I know I had to go get a drill bit cause the one I started with got so small we couldn’t put the anchors in.
 
There are still a few A&W root beer stands in Minnesota. One in Aurora and one in Pine City for sure.

Parents would take us there on Saturday. We would split a root beer float. Then buy a gallon of their root beer. Glass one gallon jug we brought from home. Drink it through the week and bring the jug back the next Saturday for a refill.

Thank you,
MrSmith
 
I remember my parents taking us to this.



And getting a soda at the gas station out of one of these while my friends and I were out riding our bikes around town.

I remember the even older Coke machine at the local store/Post Office/gas station - chest style, flip open cover, and everything sitting in the open in a bed of chilled water
