Stories that include "fall down go boom" hurt. Heal up Mr. RC.

 

Jim, sorry about the arm. I’m allergic to things that hurt! Nice work on the ramp.

Thanks everyone....

 

"...all right if you have to know...Fully clothed wearing socks I stepped into the shower pan with one foot to retrieve a tube of shaving soap with the vertical safety bar at my back.  After collecting the item I transferred my weight back onto my out of the shower pan foot...The other one then slpped and I fell about 4.5 feet backwards landing on the tub rail...."

 

If I had stepped facing the wall I would have grabbed the bar and avoided all this pain."

 

The moral...BE CAREFUL AROUND YOUR HOME. DUMB STUFF LIKE THIS HAPPENS TOO FREQUENTLY

Amen... this summer I learned that old men, ladders and chainsaws are a bad combination. Discretion is the better part of valor, and sometimes the best tool for a job is a wallet.

i AGREE Wandering

As I get older I find that  using my "wallet" IS the best tool after all

*2 on the wallet as a fine power tool for us seasoned citizens.

Wandering...I forgot to say, "Hope you have all your body parts"

Chain saws are dangerous without Ladders !!

Subject is Solar Charging battery pack   Click on the link.

 

DIY project ...still expensive. Uses 4 - 100 watt solar panels charging a Lithium battery. Gotta be a cheaper way. I suppose one could buy a separate battery for around $500 then you would have a 50-100 mile range. then spend the night in a KOA full hookups and charge both batteries on the way to your next off the grid camping spot.

 

RAD has a blog. This popped up this morning

I have had my "Rad Rover" for a little over a year now! I had a complete knee replacement last June and it really helped me heal up, now 100% better. I have about 1000 miles on it. It takes a few hours to recharge (110) I leave it over night. I am a big guy and can ride up to 20 miles per hours and up to about 20 miles on flat ground. I found a carrier on Amazon that I modified some.
