Shorty's Corner

Eric had a baseball game last night at Firwood school in Sandy last night, right by Shorty's Corner.

It proved to be an accessibility challenge for Jodie and I. We parked on the grass where everybody was parking. I brought the lift in our van, Jet White, down, but flipdown ramp would not come down. I got on the lift, took it up a little, then brought it down, and the ramp came down.

We had to scoot a good distance across the grass...holes and bumps everywhere. Jodie followed real close...making me go really slow. She has tipped over before...

The game? Dad's should not ump. Enough said...

When we got back to the van, the ramp on the lift would not come down...no matter what I did. It was Eric that figured out` there is a lever under the ramp that has to land on ground firm enough to activate the ramp. He pressed it and the ramp came down.

What would we do without a smart kid?
