Looks quite compact. Does it come with a 'Reverse' beeper?

[Epic_Dragon]

It has no reverse, but it does have an anti roll back for safety for hills. My mobility scooter has the reverse beepers though

Blimey Epic, your story reminds me of the oft quoted saying by the blind Helen Keller.

"I complained because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet".

You have a great positive attitude, so there are good days & not so good days?

[Epic_Dragon]

I do have bad days, definitely I still don't really complain because I cannot change the situation, so I just do the best I can And there is still those worse off than me too and I have so much to be thankful for

Today got out of hand in the bad weather that has come in :O :O (to those not in South Australia, up near Mt Barker, angry wind came in) So far today, thanks to the wind, the horses got out of the paddock, Mine just went to the nearest patch of grass, my sisters two horses, one went off all the way down the driveway, the other then in the opposite direction across the other paddock. Mine then got super worried, he at least comes to me when he is worried though so he was then just basically bouncing on the spot near me until the other two were brought back. They are all now back in the paddock haha. The hay ring went off on its own adventure down the paddock! And lastly, the wind blew a gate into my horse float, and the float came off second best :O :O The gate is damaged too but its mostly fine haha. It is just one of those days LOL Now enjoying a cup of tea because today needs to be turned off and on again hahaha

If you knew a good welder, he could fix the float and gate.

Horses certainly do not like the wind up their tail. A bit like Corporal "They don't like it up'em Cap'n Mainwaring" Jones.

Now enjoying a cup of tea because today needs to be turned off and on again hahaha

I must remember that one. A cuppa now & then when things are grim & not going well certainly makes it a lot better. A Re-boot in fact.


But it must be tea, none of that instant coffee stuff.

Not sure if this video works, but new wheelchair grocery shop trip Attachment 161618

Nice. One of the volunteers here has a smartdrive on her chair. The kids think it's absolutely magic.

It occasionally (but thankfully rarely) it does kind take off by itself. Some artifact of the wrist band she uses to drive it with. The kids reckon that's pretty funny too.

Isn't it wonderful how little bits of technology can increasingly make life easier as the body makes it harder.

Also, as one small technical innovation is created for a particular use, so it can be adapted or used in it's 'raw' state to assist many many other functions not even being considered at that time.

Dad is already on it handy a master welder at home.

I agree 4bee I do not drink any coffee as I hate the taste, and used to hate the smell. I do not have a sense of smell now so that is a plus. (I smell some things but it's wrong smoke smells like sausages )
Monsters come out and chase the horses in the wind

That is awesome BradC. I love how much kids love things like it. They are just the best open book. Am also glad to know they also go rogue on other users too I at least now know to expect it as a possibility. Technology is wonderful how it does just that, and it's improving all the time.
