Your dramatic "spitting into a different time zone" trick reminded me of the scene from "The Big Lebowski" in which John Goodman and Jeff Bridges hiked to a cliff in order to scatter their friend's ashes into the Pacific Ocean.

In another movie reference, I saw "Deliverance" so I don't think I'll be visiting the Deliverance Temple Ministries.
Idaho . . . Iowa, what's the difference. Long ago, I was traveling in Texas with my brother, and we got into a conversation with a few guys at a bar. They asked where we were from and when we said Iowa, one of the guys replied with a knowing nod, "ah yes, the famous potatoes."

5 months agoLooking at the other picture I noticed that Hewes uses a helmet mirror, so he doesn't need another one on the handlebars.
In this case the stoker's mirror can be considered as an additional safety measure (and can also double as Susan's make-up mirror :) ).
I noticed that as well, but only when I was looking at pictures after the trip. I’m really curious about it, too.
5 months agoIs there a specific reason to why the rear view mirror is on the stoker's handlebars, while it's the captain who's responsible to ride the tandem safely?
Just curious.
Similar to your 3rd (4th?) summer home, if I recall correctly.
5 months agoLooks similar to my lifestyle, except for the castle and the Rolls Royce and the well-manicured grounds and the property overlooking the water.
5 months agoHA! That's funny!
5 months ago"Feeling peckish again," - OK, you have expanded my vocabulary. I was imagining various definitions that could relate to the word 'peckish' but would not have guessed it's true meaning without the help of the remainder of your sentence. FWIW, I just finished a ride and was feeling quite peckish myself - when I expressed that opinion to my wife she informed me that she was too busy for such foolishness at the moment. I don't think she knows what it means either.
5 months agoIt IS rather amazing.

5 months agoSort of like a Where’s Waldo challenge. Oh, there it is!
5 months ago"Mobile homes are not mobile. Once they're planted they stay there permanently... until, as the saying goes, there's a hurricane. Or a divorce. "
Actually, the single-section manufactured homes that you photographed (usually called "single wides" in the vernacular) are fairly easily moved. Typically the wheels and axles are left attached underneath. Often the "hitch" (sometimes called the "tongue", funnily enough) is left attached on the front, as shown in a few of your photos. If not, one can be bolted on easily. I used to do that when I helped in the family mobile home business as a kid.
Multi-section manufactured homes ("double wides") are more difficult to move because the two sections (halves) must be separated, which can be a substantial effort. But it's still done sometimes.
Hardly any difference at all! I mean, what’s 1400 miles, really?
