Important envelope was there - could use a few more, frankly. Rehearsal was okay - too much stumbling over words and lines for my taste, and some low energy, so those were my main notes. Doing a staged reading with script in hand is just a peculiar netherworld, but hopefully everyone will go over stuff on their own and find the energy level needed. Part of THAT problem is the nature of the play itself, but you can't really succumb to that or everything is really dreary.

After, I did something I don't think I've ever done before - stopped at the Tommy's Burgers on Laurel Canyon and Burbank Blvd. I got their famous chili cheeseburger and a chili cheese hot dog and fries.

I came right home and ate them all up - too much food, really, but it was pretty good. Probably could have lived without the hot dog. Not the second coming or anything and I don't think I need to have another meal there.

Then I watched two documentaries and that was that.

Oh crap, George, here we go again.

This is going to be slow going.

Let’s see. I have a new scooter.

TCB · « **Reply #97 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:20:48 PM »

It is accented in blue, instead of red.

TCB · « **Reply #98 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:21:30 PM »

It seems a little lighter, material-wise.

TCB · « **Reply #99 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:22:08 PM »

But it has a weight limit of 300 lbs.

TCB · « **Reply #100 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:23:15 PM »

I should have tried to find one with a 225 pound limit.

TCB · « **Reply #101 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:24:54 PM »

Of course, if I got one of those I would have had to go on a cottage cheese and lemon juice diet for the next five years.

TCB · « **Reply #102 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:25:57 PM »

So, unless we go back into lockdown, I should be pretty safe from 300 lbs.

Anyway, the transaxle on my other scooter was dying.

TCB · « **Reply #104 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:28:36 PM »

It could have been repaired, but the parts would need to be ordered and then repaired as time allowed.

TCB · « **Reply #105 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:29:19 PM »

We are talking a couple of weeks (at least).

TCB · « **Reply #106 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:30:13 PM »

And several hundreds of dollars.

TCB · « **Reply #107 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:31:08 PM »

In the mean time I would be housebound until it was fixed.

TCB · « **Reply #108 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:32:42 PM »

My scooter was only eight and a half years old, so no financial help until ten years had passed.

TCB · « **Reply #109 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:33:22 PM »

And still no guarantee that I would be approved.

TCB · « **Reply #110 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:35:22 PM »

So, I kept hoping that people at the store or at the condos would say, “Wow, new wheels!”

TCB · « **Reply #111 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:36:11 PM »

But, of course, no one did.

TCB · « **Reply #112 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:36:55 PM »

No one would notice except me.

TCB · « **Reply #113 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:37:57 PM »

So, I looked in the bathroom mirror and said it to me.

TCB · « **Reply #114 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:39:39 PM »

The guy at Wheelchair Haven tries to act alike a hard ass, but he is really a sweetheart.

TCB · « **Reply #115 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:41:22 PM »

The young man who waited on me quoted me the new price, which was about $300.00 more than I expected to pay.

TCB · « **Reply #116 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:43:00 PM »

While 8 was test driving the new scooter (and trying to figure out how survive on the cottage cheese diet, without the cottage cheese.

TCB · « **Reply #117 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:44:04 PM »

Anyway, when I came back to counter, he wrote it up at the old price.

TCB · « **Reply #118 on:** October 31, 2021, 11:44:47 PM »

I think they gave me a very large trade in on the old scooter.
