Yea, in the past I've always had multiple computers - things get a bit more tricky when you only own one machine. To make things even more tricky, I don't even own a USB thumb drive anymore - I do have an external hard drive though, so it is chopped into a main partition and a 2GB partition that I can put an installation image on with unetbootn. Then when I'm done, I install multiboot on the new system to switch the external back to booting from the first partition (which has a backup and recovery distro on it in addition to all my files).
