I’m waiting for a new echair to replace my wheeled chair that hammer pushes me around in. It’ll be here Saturday. This echair collapses into a suitcase size package. It will be great for places like the zoo, the aquarium, resort hallways etc …and …the hammer will no longer have to push me. One reason that I’ve not gone out much is because pushing me makes the hammers back hurt. This chair is 1/5th the weight of of the etrike. It’s not roadworthy like the etrike and only goes 3.5 mph. The etrike goes 28mph. Always looking for work-a-rounds my brother. This should elevate my game considerably.
rotflol ….. it was only 4-5 years ago I was riding a Harley super glide custom. It would definitely burn the tires and was a raging roaring pavement busting monster … Now ….. not so much lol. Sad turn of affairs.
Ryte onn , ryte onn, my brother….. we don need no stinking “ get me down “ from cancer badges ( Tres Amigos movie ) …. I’m with you buddy.
While I could already get to 30-40 shopping centers on the etrike , the echair will definitely open up all the rest and ( most important) save the hammers back. lol
I’m “ fully “ mobile again … big uptick in morale here for everyone.
Had to watch football and baseball today. The hammer needed some rest and is a rabid sports freak. Tomorrow we are loading up the echair and taking it out. Gonna try the zoo first, if it’s too packed/busy , we’ll prolly try some espresso in the tower ( the counterculture district ) district , maybe the Woodward Park or the Botanical gardens a couple miles from here. Gotta practice loading and unloading it . Prolly a local casino / resort overnighter at Chukchansi or table mountain.
Got out for some Dos Equis , salsa / chips and carnitas today and also worked some more on mounting the echair on the Bruno lift …..plus after I got back from the restaurant ( couple miles on the on the etrike ) I took the echair out and learned more about it. It doesn’t like uneven surfaces, it jets off in unpredictable directions on uneven footing. I swerved off into several yards and even hit a tree rotflol. The learning process continues lol.
Lurking in the shadows, only the shadow knows rotflol.
Tomorrow will load up the echair and head out to the zoo or Woodward park, got to break in the echair .lol
Getting off my couch / hind end and out into the world once again, no matter how much I just want to just sit there. Shows that QOL is possible, even for guys as messed up as I am. Let’s go …
Good morning, love your helmet with Horns on it😂 And YASS you're setting an example for others to show that QoLing still can be done despite whatever going on esp with nasty *ss SEs from the meds
I’m holed up in the jacuzzi with the hammer this morning, some kona and bakery treats. This afternoon or tomorrow morning for certain, we’ll be loading up the echair and jamm’in. lol. Gonna go by the zoo first, schools in so it might not be so packed with bodies. Alternatively we will go to the Woodward Park ( one of our largest ) to a bit of the Eton Hike&Bike trail, the one in the handicap gardens , designed for echairs. Prolly subway sandwiches along for the ride too. Maybe even drones. lol
I’m breaking my narcolepsy with this outdoors activity , which is a surprising benefit, I’m looking forward to ringing out all the goodness in this new era of cooler weather. Everybody on here saying activity / exercise is right in my case too. Fresh air, sunshine and smell’in the roses ….. yea buddy. ALL this encouraged, n large part, by YOUR active outdoors QOL activities buddy. Thanks …
Oh that's so awesome, didn't know about the narcolepsy, but so great that outdoor activity quashed it.
Fresh air, sunshine, crusin, smellin roses, eating out all are anti-depressants and makes for epic QoLing.
A'ole Pilikia/No Problem and My Pleasure. So ecstatic that my journeys have gotten you outdoors. Need more Food Porn
I made a Caldo Gallego based on what I had in Espana. Ham shank simmered with bay and garlic, then greens, carrots, celery, taters, linguica and white beans
Mahalo nui loa Brother, Sandi who did the Camino one had me look at others online to see what style I wanted and then had to choose a font. She was great
Mahalo nui loa Brother, nope never had any symptoms. Look up fasting with chemo, I did two days prior to each and reduce the SEs/ Lost hair didn't care
Thank you Dockam.......I'm getting a port tomorrow. Imagine I will start chemo next week. After all the blood draws in the last 4 yrs, getting harder to draw blood from my arms. You are inspiring Dockam
10 years and before you know it, it will be 20 more, and that's when the fun begins. Since I will be busy managing my Comedy Store in the Sky at that time, I wish to take this opportunity to wish you a Healthy and Happy 30th Year Anniversary.

I dunno mannnnnnn ….. everywhere you go ( medical facility ) , bells are ringing and Kumbaya breaks out with a party and / or dancing. Seriously ????
Sooooooo …. Based upon your exploits, and hungering for some of that Kumbaya myself, I took a nice box of muffins ( doughnuts ? I forget ) to my frequent visit to my infusion clinic ….. thought I might get , at least , a thank you or see some appreciative smiles ..etc. .
But ….” Ohhhhhhhhhhh Noooooooooo” , well excuse me !!!! “ ( Ala Steve Martin ) rotflol. I got a quiet whisper I could hear from my chair “ oh ! Gosh, look at all those carbohydrates!!!!! “ and a big frown. ( add belly laughing here ). I couldn’t help but think how different it would have been if you brought them.
You got da magic touch and springs in those legs little buddy , I think it boils down to you being too dang cute !!! Rotflol. Of course you developed that persona over decades of meeting patients / medical work ….. but still 😂😂😂😂😂. I made nuclear scanners smile, you made people smile, literally.
Love you buddy, you ARE da man !!! Love your great QOL posts.
LoL, yea I usually bring a smile, optimism and Fun to wherever/whomever I go. Just a joie de vivre, an exuberance that lifts others as well as myself.
That's no bueno for that staff to not be grateful for a gift - haters gonna hate 😢
Yea, years as a DDS and 10 yrs with #stageivpca and still being here and upright is so uplifting. It fuels may enthusiasm
LoL about being cute, like a toddler taking 1st steps?
Love you right back big Bruddah Kal
Planning Beach Therapy on Sat and to replace the Ventura Tile, it was broken the last time and a new Camino Amiga's Dad passed from PCa and will add His name to it that List
Kamster
Camino display at the office with muchos amigos nuevos from the Camino
hanging in Ventura is one of the best QOL pleasures you can enjoy. It’s addictive lol.
Got my new electric chair in this afternoon . Charging the batteries now. Gonna test it on the Bruno chair lift on the truck tomorrow morning. Hammer no longer able to push me in the wheeled chair …her back in rough condition. This will make both our lives easier. The etrike is too big and heavy for the Bruno lift, this collapsible echair is ideal for the Bruno. Two QOL problems solved. lol
It’s beautiful isn’t it. No big crowds like Venice, nice sand. Just beautiful , those refreshing invigorating ocean negative ions thick as peanut butter. Yes yes yes. lol
Not as icky as Venice, never had issues of safety ever whenever I'm there. Will go in Nov, have to do an Aunt Betty clean out trip this weekend. Still have a bunch of her stuff for sale at the office - all proceeds go to ZERO. Have an event fro them next month, will post when it happens
