Trying out the scooters

Today we went to All in One Mobility. We hat a clip missing on our lift. Kind of hard to explain, but it would cause a arm to come off and the lift to not work. A very kind service man took a look at it, then ran to the store to pick one up and replaced it for us. Cost was nothing. These guys are great.

While we were there, Jemal let us test ride some scooters. We found one for Jodie to test ride. Jemal had E try it. I teased "He doesn't have his license yet." Jodie was siting in the van. I had E drive it out to her. Jodie rides her scooter to work, a mile away, every day. This bad boy would get her there in style. Jodie did not like the height or the feel of it, but it would be priceless to see her support staff watch their office manager riding in on this chopper of a scooter.

I drove it back in the showroom....it had a lot of power!

Jodie and I test drove a couple scooters. We are not quite ready to buy. Our two Pride Victory's are getting worn, and in the shop more and more. Jemal let E ride a power chair...he had way too much fun with that!

Later in the day we went to a cruise in of old cars in Gresham. The were raffling three scooters, the non-mobility types. One was decorated for the U of Oregon Ducks, one for the Oregon State Beavers, and one was plain.

E won the plain one! We could not believe it! We are now proud owners of a "Vega" scooter!

Thank you Jemal for your kindness!

Thank you Gresham's Rockin' Around the Block for such a great prize!

A good day...
