Day 3: New York

GorT didn’t take a lot of notes in the travelog for New York.  Largely because we were having fun during Day 3 in ‘Puter’s backyard touring around upstate NY.  So see here and here for details on some of the things we did.  We even dropped by the Fee Brothers’ facility for some tasty mixers.

Day 4: New York City and Massachusetts

Well, we’ve been to NYC before so this was a quick blaze through the Big Apple.  Since Dr. J and GorT need our extra large sodas, we needed to move on quickly before we got cranky.

Mandy drove the Yukon straight through Central Park, leaving a nice set of ruts and headed into Massachusetts.  Mandy has been reading about the history of the Big Dig and wanted to see the results.  With guns a blazing – The Czar, Volgi and ‘Puter thought a little shooting practice while speeding across US Route 90.  Once Dat Ho’s arm got tired after a number of “pull” calls, the crew settled down and we drove across the state.

Day 5: Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut

Volgi apparently had a wild hair out of place and decided today was going to be a big jam packed day.  We started with a quick tour of Harvard and MIT and measured the Mass Ave bridge in smoots.  Then we turned south and pressed on to Newport, Rhode Island.  There we did the Ocean Drive, The Breakers, and Rough Point.  Volgi snapped his fingers and cried out in some language that he then promptly translated to, “Move.  Now.”

We wrapped up the day pulling into Mystic, CT and did a quick drive over the Mystic River Bascule Bridge.  We spent the late afternoon in the Mystic seaport area and got our fill of all things maritime.  By the end of it, ‘Puter was yelling in a pirate voice, “Arrrr, Suck it, Peg leg Czar.”

Having finished up New England, we set our sites southward.

GorT

GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
