I opened up twitter today and saw that Lanny Poffo was trending, then the first tweet I saw was “happy birthday Lanny Poffo”, and I thought “whew…”
But of course, after scrolling down I could see that Lanny had indeed passed away.
He was always great to have on the old radio show, and two years ago I called him up and did a spontaneous podcast with him from his home in Equador.
A great guy!
I promised I would show the two videos from the other night, (the rough-draft and the final draft) so here they are with a bit of explanation about how it all comes together.
“By the Numbers”
For those whom may be curious as to how much it costs to move 24+ tons across the continent?
Distance - 4,440.5 miles
Fuel - 428.71 gals of diesel
Cost - $1389.05
Mileage - 10.35 mpg (not bad for climbing the Rockies).
