Cruise In

Today we Bob took his maiden voyage out on his new wheels! We went to a cruise-in and ate at a Taco Bell that was accessible from same parking lot. Then went to groceries, which was in same mall and got the 4 carb yogurt (Carbmaster from Krogers. Walmart has their own light greek at 8carbs) We packed up then and got gas at United Dairy Farmers, and some how they forced 2 dip cones on us while there. It was a succesful outing for us both! :)

LOL: on two counts - the forced 2 dip cones you absolutely had to eat, just to be polite and Bob. Sandy - did he LOVE it? Sure looks so. I am smiling and laughing at the same time. Just so happy for both of you. Freedom, baby!

 

How did you do with the loading and unloading - manageable?

 

Watch out world - they are on the loose - LOL. Debbie

Yea, I had to be able to do it or we would not have bought it. But the key to lifting the heaviest piece - back wheels, was to stand it on end and pick it up like you would a child standing on it's feet. Sure, he was very happy to not be the guy being pushed around in a wheelchair. I did have to watch the road for holes and people, due to his vision problems. But it has a really slow speed, which works good for not running into things. One thing, a woman in the groceries nearly plowed into him as she was reading a food box and walking with her cart (so busy, can't possibly read it standing still, hate this mindset). I'm sure she texts while driving too. But naturally, I was right there going, no, no, no, and she looked up and said, "oh! uh.... I saw him" funny how the "oh" was in the surprised voice... but she saw him... yeah...

Sandy: that and people talking on cell phones. In the grocery store, people not knowing where things are and looking up at the signs. But you both with get the hang of it. Rock on!
