You’ve heard of Oscar Mayer hotdogs, but have you seen an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile and did you get a wiener whistle?  For some reason I missed out on meeting up with the Hotdoggers that took a year out of their schedules for the privilege of driving a 27 foot long hotdog around the country.  Dave humorously shares his teams experience as they drive this monstrosity of a Wienermobile around the country.  One incident happened at a Walmart store: three of the four team members made the decision to run into the store.  Dave thought they were nuts, so he decided to just walk in.  Well, after returning to the mobile innumerable times to get yet one more person a wiener whistle, he decided they weren’t quite so nutty after all.  He did finally make it into the store.  They traveled California, Louisiana at Mardi Gras (where Dave ended up in jail), and finally Dave finished his year with one other team member traveling over seas to drive the Wienermobile in Germany and Italy.   Dog Days is an exciting action fulled journey you’ll not soon forget.
