CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU!

My legs are just flat worn out, I'm afraid, but I'm not about to get stuck watching TV

I just ordered this, should be here next week.

It will carry me and the camera bag all over the place. As it is now I'm stuck close to the car.

It breaks down easily into 5 pieces so it will go in the back of the little Ford.

I’m going through the same, because of a nerve problem in my back. Can you post a URL of the company so I can check it out?

I've done a lot of looking around, this seems to be one of the more reliable sources.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I’m not dead yet and I can still see the sights on my rifle!

[Grammy]

Looks like it should serve you well! Good for you for fighting back! We all face that choice. Not all of us make the right one.

[MaryFromMichigan]

I've been shot, stabbed, blown up and damned near drowned and used to ride dirt bikes to boot, so I guess I'm really doing pretty good!

Who ever wrote this must have had you in mind:

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "Man what a ride!"

God bless ya, FRiend!

[Billthedrill]

Camo. And maybe a big ghillie suit over the thing so you'll look like a rolling bush...

;-)

Thanks for the ping.

[GeezerConservative]

Great quote, Mary, and thanks SwampSniper, and may you motor on in safety and contentment.

I’d start over but stuff keeps falling off, LOL! All the fun stuff is illegal now anyway! I would have been on the terrorist list when I was 8 or 9 if they had one then! My Momma laughed off stuff that would have the average soccer mom in a straight jacket, although there was an experiment involving potassium chlorate and sulphur that made her drag me up the steps by my feet and say things I didn’t think she knew about! I spilled some by the washing machine and she stepped in it!

[GeezerConservative]

Oh, what a stink that must have been. Hey, the scooters are on sale!

[SWAMPSNIPER]

The smell wasn’t the problem, it took the heel off her shoe! It is a reasonably effective detonator. Actually it has sort of a nice spicy smell anyway! Mr. Wizards Science Secrets was a wonderful program!

I like it. I went to the website and looked around. I can walk some, but not a lot. It would really help me out if I had one. Good luck with yours.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I can walk but not far, it just takes the joy out of everything when you hurt all the time. I just can’t imagine staring at a stupid TV all day, I never got hooked on the damned things and I don’t want to start now.

[rightly_dividing]

I'm like you, I cant be a couch potato. I plugged my TV in and watched some Olympics, then away it went again.

We visited Greenfield Village and Henry Ford musuem in Dearborm Mi last fall, and if not for the handicap scooters, I would never have been able to walk and enjoy the place for two days.

I just hope the brakes on that thing don’t overheat coming down Vilano bridge..

[calex59]

Did you restore that and if so, where did you find it?

[PGalt]

Good choice ‘SNIPER. Whatever it takes...keep on truckin’.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I’ll rig a drag chute to it!

[Hunton Peck]

It's not mine :-( . I just found a pic of it at http://www.scooteringusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/kettenkrad.jpg. There's a website devoted to the Kettenkrad halftracks at http://www.kettenkrad.de/index_e.htm. They don't seem to come up for sale often, but this site may be a good place to keep an eye out for one.
