As a 66-year-old contractor who already works forty to fifty hours a week, Dorman doesn’t have the time or interest to delve into marketing SwingSrite. But he sure enjoys inventing. “My mind is cranking all the time.” He’s invented a hammock that’s easy to get in and out of. He’s devised a method to make it easy for Shirley to move between the pier and their pontoon boat. He’s even come up with a better way to barbecue burgers, using metal plates that go on top of and underneath a hamburger patty. You see, the plates have metal spikes that go through the patty to cook the meat evenly in the same way skewers in potatoes help cook them faster. And because of the holes from the spikes, condiments easily ooze into the heart of the meat.
Dorman is especially proud of an exercise machine he’s invented. It’s a three-wheeled side-by-side recumbent bicycle that lets Dorman and Shirley cycle down the streets of Eureka beside each other. The way he’s put together the gearing, they can even be pedaling at different speeds just by adjusting the gears. “Shirley and I love to go pedaling down the road, talking and fully sharing the experience.”
I’m sure you’ve realized what is obvious to me now—that the story of Dorman Rhoades’s inventions is really a love story. Anyone have a handkerchief?
