Movin' On Out......

A few years ago we took a Segway tour of Biltmore and I've been infatuated with the machines ever since.....always wanted a pair for the Barth, thinking they'd be a great way to cover festivals, local summerfests & special events on our travels. But at about $5k apiece, I never got past the dreamin' stage....

I'm going to get my very first Social Security check next week.....What da ya think...
should I do something really stupid with it?....(Might even find out if Medicare
covers things like casts & steel pins!

I favor the Orbitwheel, get hurt a whole lot cheaper that way.

Get a skateboard - cheaper and you'll get the breaks and bruises much more efficiently.

Skateboards will work well. I've got scars twice as old as these amazing kids of today, from the 60's. Never broke a bone (well, besides skiing in the dark..) on a skateboard but it would be really easy today! Back then we didn't do stairs, railings or big pipes so it was much safer. Still managed to crash... concussions, cuts, bruises, road rash, didn't we have fun!

I am way to accustomed to getting drunk at summerfests to even attempt this.

Tina does say however that the last time she checked, my life insurance was up to date.

I love to skateboard ride. Been doing it since I was 9 or 10. Took a 20 plus yr break after I got married. But, back on the boards again recently.
