information Eric Lyon - Updates On Recovery Process / Maiden Voyage

Spaceship Spaceship
Watch
As quoted from my FaceBook update:
Update: getting ready for the maiden voyage on the 22nd we decided to add 2 more features. On the driver side, we added a smartphone/GPS mount so I can use GPS, FaceTime communication, or record clips of me while driving. In the center of the windshield, we added a dash cam that will allow us to record the views we see or maybe catch something interesting to share with others. If you haven't guessed by now, we might (not sure yet) get our feet wet in a video series. The details of the series are currently confidential, but I can say that it would combine 2 or more industries for both educational and entertainment purposes.

Note: ( @Eric Lyon & @Amanda )The maiden voyage will be:
  • Houston , Texas to Center, Texas
  • Center, Texas to San Antonio, Texas
  • San Antonio, Texas to Austin, Texas
  • Austin, Texas to Boerne, Texas
  • Boerne, Texas to Houston, Texas
We'll then stay in Houston for Christmas and start charting out a winter trip (After Christmas) along the southern bible belt states, possibly stopping in Florida somewhere for a little while until spring/mid-spring.

We won't be doing much in the way of meet-ups during our maiden voyage so that we can focus on our rig, dolly, and towed/toad vehicle. We want to make sure that everything goes smoothly before we start doing official meet-ups with other domain investors, developers, designers, hosts, registrars, registries, conferences, events, etc.

This trip will give us a better idea about any unforeseen repairs or upgrades that may be needed so it's important that we give our set-up our full attention this trip.

When we start doing meet-ups, we'll be using the events and meet-ups forum to announce the locations.

Glad to hear you're back on your feet again! Video series would certainly be watched by a lot of us!

If you ever make it as far North as Montreal be sure to let me know. Jazzfest is probably the best time to come (late June - early July) .. otherwise Grand Prix (F1) week-end is also really popular (earlier in june)


BON VOYAGE .... :)

We'll definately let you know!

Officially, it's 29.6 feet long, but categorized with 30 footers. We also have a dolly and a mid-sized sedan that we'll tow behind us adding another18 feet, so when we are all hooked up, we're 47.6 feet long ;)

We're not sure yet about Vegas this trip since we still have a lot of monitoring and testing to do on the rig before we venture out further than the state of texas. We want to get all our repairs and upgrades done prior to the longer full-time voyages coming after our maiden voyage. We'll keep you posted. :)

Crap .. would you believe DomainMobile.com is actually taken !? lol

Guess you're stuck naming your motor home DomainMobile.net! lol


ADDITION: Holy smokes .. the .net is taken as well! lmao

Even Domain-Mobile.com is taken .. I'm thinking A-D-A-M @strong is holding this for 6 figures !?!? lol

Maybe you stay on theme and name her DomainMobile.Mobi ???
(confirmed available and all yours for $6.99 .. lol)

Or perhaps TheDomainMobile.com? :)
(99 cents with a coupon code .. lol)

We actually already secured a domain name for the new adventure, OfficeDrift.com - Drifting to a town near you.

Lots of planning still in the works, so it's just a branded landing page for now. 😉

I officially valuate that domain at: $Priceless! ;)

All kidding aside .. it's a fantastic name .. probably hard to find as well as anything similar was likely taken long ago!

I literally checked over 100 domains. 78 were taken and this was my favorite out of the availables to build on.

I thought about that one, but it implies it's 1 person and not people or a family, so I passed on it. 😁

I prefer just officedrift .. makes for an actual strong potential future brand ..

Added: I see where you're going with this right away and totally think it's brilliant!

The way it rolls of the tongue is strong .. but drifter can also work if you think of it as your actual office that's drifting.

To me, office drifter implies one person jumping from office to office, wereas office drift implies the whole office moves place to place, which is what I was going for. 😉

Yeah .. as I added above .. I immediately saw the future potential the moment I saw the name. eventually it doesn't even need to be about you .. there is a HUGE market in people wanting to know more about entrepreneurship and living/working on a nice sunny beach somewhere .. then being able to pick up and move at any moment of their choosing.

It's pretty much the domainer's dream ..

Exactly! One of many benefits the potential series will offer to viewers. Not to mention, several other benefits. 😉

Update:
Busy day today doing prep work before our departure tomorrow morning. Reorganizing our undercarriage storage, getting items stored early, cleaning the rig (inside and out), pre-trip inspection of all the essentials, battening down the hatches, doing laundry, cleaning dishes, securing anything not bolted down inside the rig so it doesn't move while in motion, etc.. in the morning I'll be hooking up the dolly, loading the car, strapping it down, and rolling out to head to NE Texas for a week. I'll try to get a pic once everything is hooked up so everyone can see our full travel setup and length.
we now have a reservation at one of the local RV Parks in Center, Texas. 90 ft. Pull through, water, electric, sewage, and WiFi for the low rate of $125 per week. (Monthly is only $375). Not a bad deal at all. This park is mostly used by wild boar/hog hunters. Should be an interesting stay.

Today, we are visiting family at "the cabin in the woods". I can't help but think of the movie.

For those unsure what a real country road looks like, here you go. And it's been rumored that the Hawkeye hunting club off that road is that they used to host hunting parties back in the day that ended in a celebration with prostitutes provided by the club. This gives a whole different meaning to guys night out fishing and hunting. Not sure how the place is run these days.

We took the Polaris rzr5 to the back 40 acres looking for wild boar, good trap spots and an old deer stand to relocate today. Nothing like the country. Fun times. We didn't find any boar this time of day but the packs/herds will be out tonight.

Update: A few more pictures to share

Julian (Our youngest son) is learning to operate all the country equipment. However, he prefers to be in the wheelbarrow instead of pushing it. (wheelbarrow, bush hog, 4 wheeler, polaris and lawn mower)

Nice. This just refreshes my memories when I used to drive big rigs - cali to Boston - before getting into med school. What a life experience it was on the road.

I am glad you are taking off the time to visit places. Keep us posted. Your little man is also seems to enjoy tractors.

It's good experience for him too.
