What does it say about my priorities that I am seriously considering a tandem for THOUSANDS of dollars, while still doing laundry in a bucket because I am too damm cheap to buy a washer and dryer?
Sheesh!

I can't believe you're still doing your laundry in a bucket, Knot! That's impressive!

Knot, I read your post out loud to DH and he laughed. And said our priorities are almost as screwed up as yours!

I think it says your priorities are in the right place - that you're willing to choose joy, energy efficiency, time together with your wife, and a little bit of effort, over labor-displacing [not labor-saving] energy hogging devices.

Gave my two steel wash tubs to my brother when we moved, I didn't do laundry in them but my Mom did, we also bathed in them my first 3 years of life.

Note I type this as I sit in my house with my light weight down coat on because I refuse to turn up the thermostat
Enjoy the test ride, My DH and I are not tandem material so always glad to hear when someone succeeds in the togetherness
