Isn't it funny how things turn out? I spent a large portion of my adult life outdoors. I already mentioned my multiple trips cross country just me and my trusty thumb. I also learned to fly helicopters in Arizona while " visiting ". That was fun. Never went so far as getting a license though. Like my scuba diving, helicopters were way out of my income. Seems most of my interest/hobbies are well outside of my financial comfort zone.

Anyways, back to the working out subject. Now a days I spend the majority of my time in the house starring out the window. I've done a complete reversal in a very short time. Getting out really isn't the problem. It is more like what to do once I'm out. Being outside of town there is no place to " walk " to. Spring time wind doesn't help much and soon those summer triple digit temperatures will be a real killer. And I mean that literally.

My wife is constantly telling me to drink more water when it is hot. Now that makes sense, but where do I put the water when I'm full? I can't drink that much. I quit drinking somewhere back in the 80's. Now back than I had capacity! But that like so many other about me are now things of the past.

Ever wish you could take a little pill and selectively erase memories. On one hand I think all those memories and experiences good or bad is what makes a person who he or she is. But than on the other hand, do those same memories and experiences that created the person mess them up later in life? And if you could selectively erase memories what happens to the person?

Maybe erasing memories wouldn't be cool after all. Getting rid of the " bad " or unwanted memories would surely leave holes in a persons personality. After all, we learn quickly not to pick up hot pans without some kind of insulator between our hands and that hot pot. If you erased the memory of hot pots and burns than you would be burning yourself again.

I must be bored!

Anyways, I need to raise around $6000. Obama said I don't qualify for a stimulus package. Got to be rich for that kind of help. I found the outdoor chair I want on closeout for about $6000. Which is a sizable slash in price. Actually really big slash! Although I am up for a new chair through Medicare/Medicaid these outdoor chairs will not get qualified except in extreme situations. Originally my plan was the Medicare/Medicaid route and use my old chair for indoor only use. Extending its usefulness plus getting out. However, the motors on my chair are at the point where the provider would like to replace them. Plus I'm having " issues " with the controller. All in all the cost of repairs puts the current chair into the probable replace catagory. But if I replace it with an outdoor chair with the idea of keeping the old chair for indoor only use and the old chair quite working than I'd be stuck with an outside chair that does not fit indoors very well.

So the better option is to try to raise the $6000 for the outdoor chair and purchase straight out and have Medicare/Medicaid buy a new indoor chair, or repair the old one. So if anyone actually reads this stuff anymore, I'm looking for donations. The more folks that donate the better. Spread the word so to speak. Tell friends, co-workers, anyone. Even if its a little donation it all adds up in the end.

Let me know if you can help, Thanks
