Guy Stuff at Guys Clubhouse

I finally got over to Dad’s after holding on to the scooter I got him for two weeks. I think it was a hit. Dad has a long driveway on a hill and didn’t make it to the top the first couple of times as he’s a big guy and let his finger off the trigger, then the scooter couldn’t get him up there. But last try he got the hang of it and made it easy.  Dad went and checked his mail up at the mail box on his own, then took a spin around the block which is quite long.  He hasn’t done that in ages and did take a corner a bit fast running off the road once. I believe it went a bit faster than he thought it would. Now he didn’t fall or tip over but  it might have scared him a bit causing some  apprehension . He carried on however and when he returned said ” I didn’t remember the block being that long”.  Anyway, hope you like it Dad and it gives you some of the freedom we know you need.

Hey I got a couple of great deals at a yard sale last weekend. The best one was a scooter I thought might be good for my Dad. Now the guy I got it from is a neighbor a couple of doors down. He was moving and wanted $50.00 for it. It also came with a second scooter for parts. Of course it needed batteries so I couldn’t try it, but he assured me it worked and I paid him the 50 bucks and brought them home. After cleaning the good one up it was off to the store for batteries. I figured they would be $100.00 each and I needed two. They cost $118.00 a piece so I wasn’t far off. Well not only did it work, it worked great! Fast like I couldn’t believe! Jan and I spent the afternoon driving it everywhere to see how long the batteries would last, and they outlived the novelty of booting around town. Just for fun, I hooked up the parts scooter and it worked too!! I’m going to make that Jans stand-up garden scooter. I’ll just pick up used batteries for that one. I may get a little trailer for it or put a platform on the back. Maybe both! I have to say, this has been the most fun we’ve had for a few hundred bucks in along time!!
