Scooter

We picked up the Panther in Swan Hill yesterday. Many thanks to Carol, Mandy, Janette and PB for making it all happen so fast. I know that the scooter is going to be very useful to me and give me a lot of independence ...... BUT ....... I wish that my Seattle friend Carole, had it. Carole has Leiomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer, and isn't getting around too well.

After Steve charged the batteries, he pronounced it kaput! Later, he realised that the brake has to be on to start the motor. Now we're in business.



I've been on the phone a lot today, getting insurance for the scooter, re-arranging vehicle insurance and desperately trying to get the 5th wheeler insured. $700 a year seems an awful lot to me!
