Grand Marquis Huh – I had one of those – it was smoother than whale poop and I got 27-28 mpg on the highway! Plus, getting mistaken for an unmarked state trooper can sometimes be a nice side benefit.

Indubitably, Sir. I accept your fine suggestion, and have affected your proposed alteration. 'Tis only those who would deny me my native dialect whose emendations I shall reject outright.

Giddy-Up Cowboy!…. glad ta hear yer doing dang good. Whenever I hear of an accident or have one of my own, I think of the saying; “Every time my hind-end gets higher than my head, I get in trouble”. I have never been able to learn anything from that saying, but, it helps to laugh. I hope you continue to have a speedy recovery.

Actually, the correct (for consistency) headline should read:

“Back on the horse what throwed me”

“Throwed”? I think the word you want to use is “Threw”.

There ya are, a half mile away from “base” and you can’t bend your knee to pedal. What happened??

I Frankenstein-walked the bike back to work–coasting a couple of times when there was enough of a decline. Then I borrowed our work pickup truck to get home.

Oh, and I plugged the A2B into the charger. Going to try again this afternoon. I also need to locate a manual for the A2B. I haven’t figured out if there’s a way of knowing the battery life.

See, Ted, ya just missed a GOLDEN opportunity.

First thing ya shoulda done, when you drove off in that Merc, is paint “TAXI” on the side of it and earn a little extra dough takin’ the cute NAU coeds home from school!

But … ya left us hangin’! There ya are, a half mile away from “base” and you can’t bend your knee to pedal. What happened??
