Canadian Buffoon's Back to Front Vacation - Update! 05/18 - Falling Down

[pkondz]

Nauseous just thinking about it!

That is the correct response.

Having lived there for 6 years I can say, definitely not a whole lot to see other than lots and lots of rain and snow.

Ooohhh… weather.
How eerie.

Yep, me too.

Yep, me too.

Yep, me too.

Huh, lived in PA half my life and have never heard of these. Cheese snacks are not my thing though, I probably wouldn't enjoy them.

Well, I've never lived there
and now I've heard of them.

So maybe not living there
is the trick.

Very cool thing to stumble onto!

It really was!
I've seen several Harley
stores that have
some kind of museum...
But I really loved the story
behind this one.

This could very well be
my favourite shop.
And I've been to...
Uh... I'll have to count...
about 125 or so?

Yep, Marvin likes cheese too.

I just don't trust
hotel biscuits and gravy.
The gravy always looks
like baby vomit.
A sick baby's vomit.

this is definitely hotel dependent. Nice hotels have some pretty good biscuits and gravy. Only problem for me is that I'm not wild about sausage gravy -- I do like "country" gravy...which is similar, but without the sausage and accompanying grease.

I've probably watched Groundhog Day
over a dozen times.

If you haven't seen it, the movie
takes place in Punxsutawney, PA,
home of the famous rodent weather
prognosticator, Punxsutawney Phil.

It's a great movie -- although a little repetitive.

For instance, some people like coconut,
and everyone else is smart enough
to know it's wretched.

I despise the texture of coconut. Pina coladas; however, are delicious.

I picked up a bag of this:

so puffy cheetos with better cheese?

It was like cheese covered crack.

So not like puffy cheetos.

I was treated to a delicious meal,
including some yummy cauliflower...

Which shocked the heck out of me,
since I don't like cauliflower.

Cauliflower done right is actually pretty good. I've been doing the low carb thing for the past 2 years, and mashed cauliflower is a decent sub for mashed potatoes.

I've also had some sauteed cauliflower at some restaurants that has been absolutely amazing. I think Artist's Point was one of the locations. It was better than the mac & cheese there.

Did you see it in this chapter?

looks like he took over Chesta Cheetah's job.

 

[pkondz]

I have not started posting it yet...it's at like 20 pages right now

So I need to cut it back a little.

Whoa! You've got
20 pages???



But... no need to cut back.
I've seen TRs with far more
than that.

Just depends.
My updates tend to be
fairly long and each
usually covers an entire day.

But if yours are shorter
(or you have 20 days
or so worth of TR.)
then that's perfectly fine.

Primarily -- I wanted to finish it first before I started posting so that I made sure I didn't leave people hanging with an unfinished TR.

Ahhh..

Yeah, seen my share of those.

I will likely start posting here in the next few weeks -- I'll post the link somewhere on yours (if that's okay). I could use a few built in viewers. hahaha

Sure!
Plus then I won't have
to hunt for it.

I also need to figure out how to host/post the pictures.

I use photobucket,
but it's costing me
about $5/month now.
I could change, but...

Then I'd have to change
all of my TRs. Don't wanna.

I know some use Google photos,
Flikr and Smugmug.

I haven't -- all the more reason to see pictures and know to avoid it!

Well... alright. Next time I'll
take a few snaps.
But it's really nothing special.
Nothing bad, either.
Just... nothing special.

I think it's closer to 4 months. But seriously, I jumped in lake Michigan off a pontoon boat over memorial day (end of May) weekend. Coming from Texas, I had no idea how horrible of an idea that would be. My lungs damn near collapsed and I felt like a thousand knives were poking me all over. Locals told me when I got back that the lake had just thawed out a week or two before.

So you more or less have June until October.

I bet that was fun.
I've jumped in the water
off the coast of
Hudson Bay.
While there was
still ice on the water.

But... I may be
slightly more used to
cold water than you.

You didn't miss anything in Saginaw. There's a reason its nickname is Sagnasty.

Well, maybe it's for the best, then.

I do -- I know imessage is texts between iphone users -- but I have no idea how to switch back and forth and force it to send as a text.

Ah! iMessages are blue
and texts are green.
If you switch off your
data/wifi, you'll automatically
send texts.
(Unless you've disabled that.)

I did! But I didn't want to put you on blast.

That's my official DISmeet shirt.
I've worn it at almost all
my DISmeets.

And only at DISmeets.

 

[pkondz]

this is definitely hotel dependent. Nice hotels have some pretty good biscuits and gravy. Only problem for me is that I'm not wild about sausage gravy -- I do like "country" gravy...which is similar, but without the sausage and accompanying grease.

You can't find biscuits
and gravy in Canada.
We just... don't.

We have poutine instead.
But not for breakfast.

Anyway...
Point being I wouldn't know
a good sausage (or country) gravy
from a poor one.

It's a great movie -- although a little repetitive.

Oh? I hadn't noticed.

I despise the texture of coconut. Pina coladas; however, are delicious.

Nope.
It's the taste and the smell.

Just keep it farrrrr away.

so puffy cheetos with better cheese?

Hmmm... not quite puffy.

It's a great movie -- although a little repetitive.

Oh? I hadn't noticed.​

So not like puffy cheetos.

Not quite. Better.
Looooots better.

It's a great movie -- although a little repetitive.

​

Oh? I hadn't noticed.​

Cauliflower done right is actually pretty good.

I found that out!

I've been doing the low carb thing for the past 2 years, and mashed cauliflower is a decent sub for mashed potatoes.

I've done a Guy Fieri
mashed cauli recipe
that I like.
This was the first time
I've had it (non-mashed)
that I liked it.

I've also had some sauteed cauliflower at some restaurants that has been absolutely amazing. I think Artist's Point was one of the locations. It was better than the mac & cheese there.

Oh really!
Wow! High praise.

looks like he took over Chesta Cheetah's job.

 

[Tracy161]

Probably reallllllly soon.
Just around the corner.

Yeah... I think so, too. And on a day like this (freezing, winter storm advisory in effect until tomorrow morning), I think I need to move my retirement to Florida date up a couple... decades

I will skip days where
absolutely nothing happened,

This made me get the church giggles

I don't think it was stupid early
and it wasn't fashionably late.

See above comment.

Stale biscuits covered in barf...

See above comment.

I stopped there (for a poker
chip of course) and was immediately
disappointed to discover that
it appears to be a lovely little town
that glaringly fails to have demons,
ghouls and ghosts roaming the streets.

How rude of them!

I typically can only eat a little
before the fake cheese taste
becomes a bit... overwhelming.

Only able to eat a little before the fake cheese taste overwhelms you? Yeah... clearly you only visit America We do much better when we can train taste buds from birth...

While I didn't know where
Amish country was located,
it located me.

Yay! My mom and stepdad (who live only about 35 minutes from Corning) have Mennonite neighbors - a group of 8 little girls passes their house every day on their pony and bikes. It never gets old passing buggies on the road, and I see them all the time! It's like a time machine. Speaking of... on my way to her house last weekend, I SWEAR I passed a small group of Civil War soldiers walking down the road. I'm hoping there was a reenactment somewhere close by... or it's time to make another appointment

I had a date here,
but it wasn't for a few days.

Prior to opening the dealership,
in 1940, John and his wife
Madeleine (Babs) rode a 1935 Harley
to Niagara Falls for their honeymoon.

This story makes my heart happy.

Did you see it in this chapter?

<--- I'll let that speak for itself...

 

[mustinjourney]

I know some use Google photos,
Flikr and Smugmug.

did not know about google photos. Sweet!!!

 

[pkondz]

This is poor planning on
your part.
There was a $1.6 billion
lotto the other day.
You should have just won that.

Problems solved.

This made me get the church giggles

See above comment.

See above comment.

It's like a scene from
Groundhog Day.

How rude of them!

If you're going to call
yourself "Erie"...
The least you can do
is fit the part.

Only able to eat a little before the fake cheese taste overwhelms you? Yeah... clearly you only visit America We do much better when we can train taste buds from birth...

Interesting.
You sure they're Mennonite?
I know quite a few
and they all drive cars/trucks.

Hutterites, on the other hand...
Also drive cars and trucks,
so nevermind.

Speaking of... on my way to her house last weekend, I SWEAR I passed a small group of Civil War soldiers walking down the road. I'm hoping there was a reenactment somewhere close by... or it's time to make another appointment

You sure they were real?
Maybe they heard about
the lack of spooks in Erie
and were on their way there.

This story makes my heart happy.

Right????

<--- I'll let that speak for itself...

So you passed out
in your attempt to find it.

Check.

 

[pkondz]

did not know about google photos. Sweet!!!

Yup.
Mark (@Captain_Oblivious)
uses that I think.

 

[franandaj]

Good thing you're not doing any contests! I was just getting ready to reply to your last update and now you have another one! Until I get caught back up I'll just have to be happy to say: I read it.

I missed him in the previous update, but saw him in this one and kinda wondered, "how did they get him as a spokesmartian?" until I realized that it was your little game!

I enjoyed reading this latest chapter and totally laughed out loud when I hit the "first Groundhog Day". We are at the vet in the lobby and Fran looked at me like, "what????"

OK onto other TRs to say "I read it!"

[QueenJen]

I will skip days where
absolutely nothing happened

So you're saying you are going to give us an incomplete TR. Got it.

I don't remember what time
I got up that morning.

So while I don't recall exactly
what I did have for breakfast

With reporting like this....you may as well skip these parts too.

I've probably watched Groundhog Day
over a dozen times.

Filler I tell ya! I know you are capable of much better work.

some people like coconut,
and everyone else is smart enough
to know it's wretched.

Hey....I'm offended...ok, not really. I like coconut 70% of the time.

Well, the contents didn't.

Huh...went right through ya?

Currently run by the third generation
of the family.
I kinda fell in love with this place.

What a cool story and a little unexpected surprise.

(One had sold out. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN????)

Did you tell them how far you had driven just to get that chip? Perhaps you could ask them mail it to you or maybe someone would be willing to pick it up and send it to you. Would this break your rule of getting them yourself since you had actually been there?

 

[pkondz]

So you're saying you are going to give us an incomplete TR. Got it.

I'm glad someone is
paying attention!

With reporting like this....you may as well skip these parts too.

Filler I tell ya! I know you are capable of much better work.

Sorry.
I'll try better
next time.

Hey....I'm offended...ok, not really. I like coconut 70% of the time.

What happens the other
30% of the time???

Huh...went right through ya?

What a cool story and a little unexpected surprise.

Completely unexpected!
It was a really nice
little surprise.

Did you tell them how far you had driven just to get that chip? Perhaps you could ask them mail it to you or maybe someone would be willing to pick it up and send it to you. Would this break your rule of getting them yourself since you had actually been there?

I have had only a small handful
of Harley stores that I've visited
that have not had chips.
Maybe... five?
And I've had a couple that have
offered to mail me one when they
get some in.
One I paid for in advance,
the other told me it was on them.
I don't know which one, but I
only got one.
The other places just say they're out
and sorry.
I would never ask someone to pick
up a chip and mail it.
If they offer, I would gladly accept.
But... just not in my nature to ask.
I don't like bothering people.

Anyways, it's a moot point
since I rarely know people
who live in the places I visit.
And I don't think any of the
spots that didn't have chips
were the places I was having
a DISmeet.

 

[QueenJen]

What happens the other
30% of the time???

Don't like it, not gonna eat it. Cake with coconut frosting (the kind where the entire cake is coated in coconut flakes), coconut cream pie, coconut pudding, hostess snowballs.......keep 'em. Yuck yuck yuck. Chocolate covered coconut, seven layer bars, coconut chocolate chip cookies, german chocolate cake, Matterhorn macaroons, coconut almond kind bars, fresh coconut.....yum yum yum.

Thanks for the explanation, I was curious.

 

[buzzrelly]

I read your post before heading off to work yesterday morning and because I was rushing, I didn't quote anything, thinking I would be back later to quote. But the whole time I was reading, I kept thinking, "baby steps, baby steps." Well, I just reread your update and realized I would have been quoting another beloved Bill Murray film and somehow getting them mixed-up. Good thing I didn't actually say that because I would have been really embarrassed

What a sweet story about John and Babs

And that cheese poof mascot looks vaguely familiar...

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

I have great news!
This update will be short.

I just don't trust
hotel biscuits and gravy.
The gravy always looks
like baby vomit.
A sick baby's vomit.

I have never been able to bring myself to eat that stuff. Truth be told, I'm not much of a gravy fan anyway.

Stale biscuits covered in barf...
The stuff of culinary dreams, people.

Breakfast of champions!

For the nonce, I probably settled
on some lousy scrambled eggs.
Good scrambled eggs are
surprisingly easy to screw up.

This always amazes me. I feel like scrambled eggs shouldn't be that hard to get right, but there are some hotels that make them downright inedible. I wonder if they're using egg substitutes or powder mixes instead of the real thing.

I've probably watched Groundhog Day
over a dozen times.

Great movie.

I've probably watched Groundhog Day
over a dozen times.

Ever get that feeling of deja vu?

I've probably watched Groundhog Day

As soon as you mentioned the movie, I figured this running gag was coming. And, bravo. I would have done the exact same thing. You know I love a good running gag.

Carrie explained that Utz made something
called "Hulless Puff Corn".

This sounds like something you would serve your annoying gluten-free vegan cousin at Thanksgiving just to make them shut up already.

She went on to say that it was
her favourite snack...
Whoops! Sorry... she's from the US...

Her favorite snack.

Yes! Down with unnecessary "u"'s!

I've probably watched Groundhog Day
over a dozen times.

It doesn't get old!

For instance, some people like coconut,
and everyone else is smart enough
to know it's wretched.

Both puffed and crunchy
cheese snacks...
And while I don't dislike them,
(although give a choice,
I'll take puffed over crunchy)
I typically can only eat a little
before the fake cheese taste
becomes a bit... overwhelming.

Cheese puffs might be the world's most synthetic food.

Holy crap those things are good!


It was like cheese covered crack.

Mmmm...fake chemical cheese...

I now need to return to Pennsylvania.
I need to re-add these little nuggets
of Heaven to my list of Amish
and Punxsutawney.

I don't think I've ever been to Punxsutawney. I do visit Lancaster Country, PA, which is heavy Amish country. It's a neat area--lots of good restaurants and things to do. They have a historic train ride and my favorite mini-golf course in the world, too.

And, without even arriving there
or seeing what was there...
I knew that there wouldn't
be a Harley store there.

And then there was.


I was very surprised.
It was out in the country
and set back from the road.

Huh. Amazing what you can find out there.

Apparently, back in 1947,
a young man named John Reid
rode over to Milwaukee to ask Harley-Davidson
for a licence to sell their motorcycles.
He established Gowanda Harley-Davidson
and it's been run ever since by the same family.
Currently run by the third generation
of the family.
I kinda fell in love with this place.

Interesting story behind this place. They must have really had a passion for Harleys.

I found that both heart warming
and inspiring.
John passed away back in 1991,
and sadly, Babs passed away
just a few days ago on November 7th, 2018.

Dang. That's a shame. Nice that the family is carrying on, though.

"You look angry... or sad... no...
you look constipated.
Nearest bathrooms are in
that building over there.
Have a nice day."

There it is.

Then again, he didn't ask me
about the twenty kilos
of pure heroin I had in the car.

So I consider that a win.

(No. Of course I didn't have that! Sheesh!
It's called Literary License folks.
That's fancy-talk for: I lied.)



It was Meth, of course.

Yeah, right. You had 20 bags of Fruit Loops. They just told you it was meth.

I was treated to a delicious meal,
including some yummy cauliflower...

Which shocked the heck out of me,
since I don't like cauliflower.

Is "cauliflower" what Canadians call cinnamon rolls?

Did you see it in this chapter?

He's going to have a terrible time getting all that cheese dust out of his helmet.

That's... different.
I'm trying to see where
the differences are
between what you hate
and what you like.

Can't figure it out.

Thanks for the explanation, I was curious.

No problem!

 

[pkondz]

That's Bill Murray,
not Bob.

What a sweet story about John and Babs

It was! It was such
a nice find.
Kept me smiling
for the rest of the day.

And that cheese poof mascot looks vaguely familiar...

Not sure how he
got in there, though.

 

[pkondz]

I have never been able to bring myself to eat that stuff. Truth be told, I'm not much of a gravy fan anyway.

Not. A. Gravy. Fan...….


Turn in your man card
at the first opportunity.

Breakfast of champions!

Yes!
Well... until their
arteries harden.
And then they die.
Early.

This always amazes me. I feel like scrambled eggs shouldn't be that hard to get right, but there are some hotels that make them downright inedible. I wonder if they're using egg substitutes or powder mixes instead of the real thing.

I'm sure it's not
real eggs.
As in crack them open.
I suspect it's poured
out of a carton or box.

Great movie.

Ever get that feeling of deja vu?

Nope. Never.

As soon as you mentioned the movie, I figured this running gag was coming. And, bravo. I would have done the exact same thing. You know I love a good running gag.

Nope. Never.

"Yes! Down with necessary ""'s!"

Nope. Never.

Cheese puffs might be the world's most synthetic food.

I couldn't agree more.

Mmmm...fake chemical cheese...

Love KD too.
Doesn't get much more
fake cheese than that.

Wow!
We have a historic train ride too.
Just the one train though.
Been on it. It was nice.
That mini-golf though...
Not what I was expecting at all!
Really nice!
I can see why it'd
be your favourite.

Interesting story behind this place. They must have really had a passion for Harleys.

I certainly think so.
The woman I spoke with
certainly was very nice
and seemed quite happy.
You can tell how a place
is run by the demeanor
of the staff, no?

Dang. That's a shame. Nice that the family is carrying on, though.

Yes it is.
I very much like that, actually.

There it is.

Yeah, right. You had 20 bags of Fruit Loops. They just told you it was meth.

Well, I'm addicted
to them, so that's possible.

Is "cauliflower" what Canadians call cinnamon rolls?

When she pulled it out
of the oven, my heart sank.

How was I going to eat that
and not insult her by gagging?
I took a bit and prepared myself
to force it down.
I ate a bit and...
I'm pretty sure my eyes
went round and I stared
first at the cauli and then her.

I couldn't believe it actually
tasted... good!

He's going to have a terrible time getting all that cheese dust out of his helmet.

 

[Terra Nova guy]

(Wow! Auspicious start to the chapter!
Riveting stuff so far!!!)

Why ruin your track record now

I just don't trust
hotel biscuits and gravy.
The gravy always looks
like baby vomit.

As you mentioned, Canadians don't do country gravy. I don't know what it's supposed to taste like. I believe I have only had it a couple times and it's always been on top of Chicken Fried Steak or Chicken. I can't imagine starting off the day with that and a soggy biscuit.

I've probably watched Groundhog Day
over a dozen times.

I've watched it a few times. I enjoyed it. I like most of Bill Murray's stuff.

If you haven't seen it, the movie
takes place in Punxsutawney, PA,
home of the famous rodent weather
prognosticator, Punxsutawney Phil.
A weather man (Bill Murray)
spends ten years there on
Groundhog Day... the same day...
For ten years. He lives it
over and over and over again...
(Although apparently, the numbers
were run and he actually spent
8 years, 8 months, 16 days there.
Considerably less than the 10,000
years he was supposed to be there.)

Well done. I really thought I was losing my mind for a bit. I had to scroll back to see if I lost my place

Both puffed and crunchy
cheese snacks...
And while I don't dislike them,
(although give a choice,
I'll take puffed over crunchy)

I can go both ways. Ahem.
I do prefer crunchy over puffed.

I suddenly found myself
driving through it.
And while I very much enjoyed
driving through Amish country,
I couldn't really stop.
Gotta make tracks!
But I did get slowed down
from time to time.
Which, frankly, I rather enjoyed.

At first glance, I really though there was one horse pushing the carriage.

Meanwhile, I stopped in the
village of Gowanda, NY.

Hey, that's where Black Panther lives!

(That's only funny if you like the Marvel movies...)

Then again, he didn't ask me
about the twenty kilos
of pure heroin I had in the car.

I thought it was Utz crack.

I also need to figure out how to host/post the pictures.

I use photobucket,
but it's costing me

I've just been doing a simple copy/paste into the post for my pictures. Of course the annoying thing then is only being able to do 10 pictures, so I have to do the "continued next post" bit.
A hosting site would probably be better, but so many have been going pay-to-use lately. I think Smugmug is going that way now too.

I know some use Google photos,
Flikr and Smugmug.

I didn't know about Google photos either. if I ever do more than one TR I might have to look into that.

 

[pkondz]

Why ruin your track record now

I'm like butter...
I'm on a roll!

As you mentioned, Canadians don't do country gravy. I don't know what it's supposed to taste like. I believe I have only had it a couple times and it's always been on top of Chicken Fried Steak or Chicken. I can't imagine starting off the day with that and a soggy biscuit.

I tried making it once.
Even then, with freshly
made biscuits and scratch
gravy it was still "Meh".

Then again, I have no idea
if I made it right or not.
Was it too thick? Not thick enough?
Too salty? Not salty enough?

I've watched it a few times. I enjoyed it. I like most of Bill Murray's stuff.

Ditto.
Except...
I had the extreme misfortune
of going to see The Razor's Edge.

Horrid.

What made it worse was I thought
it was supposed to be a comedy.

Well done. I really thought I was losing my mind for a bit. I had to scroll back to see if I lost my place

Try editing it!
I kept losing my place!

I can go both ways. Ahem.

I do prefer crunchy over puffed.

Huh. That explains why
they make both, I guess.

At first glance, I really though there was one horse pushing the carriage.

I came this close to saying
something about putting
the horse before the cart.

Hey, that's where Black Panther lives!

(That's only funny if you like the Marvel movies...)

That's Wakanda dude.

Gowanda is where Mauve Panther lives.

I thought it was Utz crack.

Oh really? Guess it was just a
matter of time before they
decided they wanted more cash.
