Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations No Longer Alone in the USA for 45 Days

Water bidet is a great idea but it won't take up as much water as i need. Squeeze bottle could work because i can buy more than one.

Keith, haha. Thanks.

Getting packed for 5 weeks is a challenge but getting packed for 5 weeks for 2 people is a whole other thing.

I'm thinking I can fit it all in, and somewhat organized but actually doing it is another story!

And Fatih said he was okay with riding on top of the SUV as long as it was in a comfy chair .

I'm starting to get visions!



OR:

A guy at work has a mini microwave in his service van. Cute little gizmo and he runs it from an inverter off the battery. It's not that big, but will fit a nice sized bowl of soup or stew for a nice hot lunch.

For years, dirty underwear (aka, skid marks) have been all the rage here in the US. Fortunately, as of late, the use of moistened baby wipes is gaining in popularity. Perhaps someday, we as a nation will become more advanced in terms of personal hygiene, and adopt the advanced, yet simple technology known as the bidet.

Although as Americans, I doubt that we could keep it that simple. I'm sure that we would have to go bigger and better. It would probably involve more pressure, higher volume, and the necessity to wear a seat belt. Something along the lines of a complete colonic irrigation.

Of course, we would have to change the name, because after all, "bidet" is a little "Frenchie" sounding. The name, "Freedom Flush" comes to mind.

Doctor Oz, says that 'real' men use baby wipes after pooping. lol

This road trip sounds like a blast, guys. I'm stoked to follow the progress. Happy trails!

I had my sister go pick up some cloths for me one day because I was out of town and she was heading this way. The surprising and most unexpected comment was that my skivvies had no skid marks How do you do that was asked? I don't know, just don't poop your pants I guess.

Now guy's, the boat has facilities, but seriously doubt the backwash option is installed.

On the first boat, we had a pee jug that if you used it, you hang over the side of the boat to rinse it out. Wait till you hit shore to do any back washing stuff.

This subject has turned a tad...

In the beginning, I checked in on this thread from time to time simply to see how the plan was progressing. Now it's more of a train wreck carnage, OMG, can't-turn-away morbid curiosity kind of thing.

I agree! I think it's time for a second thread title change...mods?

We'll be starting a new thread in the morning, guys!

What do you mean spark?

Fatih,

It's all good. I think Sparkie is saying reading this thread is like reading a great novel; you can't wait to turn the page to see what will happen next!

Bill , i didn't mean spark was saying anything negative. I just read it 20 times and couldn't understand because of my horrible English, hehe.

No negativity intended. Merely a bemused take on a post that started with a guy wanting to go fishing, and worked its way up to the various methodologies employed to clean one's backside. I'm both curious and somewhat apprehensive about where it will go from here.

This will be a great trip, Fatih! For you, many of us participating, and all who follow along reading about your adventure here!

Heck, with the timing and some of my common routes, I could accidentally meet Fatih, and or Keith in multiple places...lol

I knew no negativity was intended Spark. No worries.

And i am glad this subject has drawn so much attention and curiosity. I didn't mean it to be this way. Hoping that everything goes well and we get more than a couple of pan fish and some disappointment.

Rainman, as you follow our route, please feel free to call if you're in any area we're in! We'd love to meet up if we could!

Keith

PS - I was unable to send you a PM so if you can send me one, PM me your number so we can call as we're nearing St. Louis. Or if that's all the farther I can make it from Lincoln on the 5th, maybe we can hook up then too, before I head on to Nashville on the 6th.

KEITH -

Consider editing your post and removing your tele number ASAP.

You probably don't want that for everyone to call, fax, etc.

Basslover, good advice but too late. I spent the afternoon driving around Ft Wayne and Indianapolis and there are now quite a few messages in the mens stalls that say "for a good time call Keith at above mentioned #". Also mentioned that in the near future he may have a well tanned assistant. Have a nice road trip guys, just watch each others back.

Rainman, can't wait to meet you .

Bob, haha. That was hilarous .

So far I've received only 3 voice mail messages (although I've since removed my number from the post to Rainman):

One from a guy named "Raymond" rambling on about autism.

One from a janitor who's pissed because the message won't wipe off the wall and wants to hold me responsible for repainting it.

And one asking if my "well tanned assistant" was cute

OK, it's 12:38 pm and I see both LL and Faith are lookin in. How about an update?

I sent him a text earlier today and either his phone isn't working over here, or he's really, really busy!
