"What do you think Junior? You think these hands - they've been soaking in Ivory Liquid?"
A long highway ride took us to Darwin, MN, home of the world's largest ball of twine (rolled by one man.)
Not quite as big as the twine ball from Sam n Max Hit The Road.
A fireman reads a plaque.
Self portrait.
It's more of a twine gumdrop.
That night we stayed outside of Minneapolis with my sister's pals Alice and Allyn. They have a really huge house and made us delicious dinner and cookies! The next morning, we stopped on the other side of town and I got a new rear tire mounted. Mike the mechanic even found the time to change our oil. He was a swell fella.
Onward to Oshkosh, Wisconsin! Nice campground.
Our neighbors were loudly cursing like sailors. To be fair, they did have a boat. Then their neighbor on the other side opened her camper window and yelled at them for their poor behavior. Then they whispered to each other.
Sunset over a nearby prison.
The Airventure Museum in Oshkosh is the EAA's year round home for their planes and other cool stuff. Nice place!
This is a really cool Bugatti air racer from the 1930s I think it was. Those are counter rotating props!
This full scale replica of Spaceship One moved, just like the real one. It was very impressive.
It's OK, those guys were jerks anyway.
Paul I and Paul II. Who names their plane Paul anyway? And why Paul I? Was he certain it would get shot down and he would need a second one? I guess he was wrong.
Me and my old favorite plane.

There is a little theater inside the S-38.
