Is seven minutes at a bus station and five on a boat an acceptable
substitute? We wouldn't want you to go in to withdrawal or anything.

About half the time Grandpa just seems to be along for the ride and not
really comprehending what he's looking at, like a senior citizen trying
to keep up with a younger family member while traveling.....oh, wait.
Added question - would the ultralight have been able to get off the
ground with grandpa aboard? Now, in my case I KNOW it wouldn't have
gotten off the ground since I think I weigh more than the ultalite.

You have to admit it's very effective.

You knew he was a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off at some
stressful moment. It appears next week is the moment.

Just when I think these two are the team to beat they pull a leg where
they couldn't find the ground if they fell of a building.

And once again, we got that famous time tested TAR method from these
two. "Start driving, then we'll figure out where we're going."
And once again, we couldn't get through the episode without Kynt
reminding us that we're trying to look different and trying to fit in at
the same time.
