Pop's Scootabout

Well Grandpa is really happy.  With such terrible pain in his back when he walks, I was pushing him around in a wheelchair when he wanted to go outside.  Viv went to "Craigs List" and found right here in Arlington an electric riding chair at such a good price.  The fellow that sold it just wanted to help someone to have it that needed it. We took it to Mt. Vernon to get the speed adjusted and the repairman said this particular chair sales for about $10,000.00 dollars.

 It is very easy to operate and it just needs to be plugged at night.

 Here he is just riding it on the asphalt, but I have taken it down to the garden and it handles it fine coming back up the hill.

It handles on the grass and gravel OK too. 

 Although this is a temporary situation, if there ever comes a time when he might be confined to something like this, Grandpa will be ready.  He'll not only have the means to get around, but the experience to operate it well.
