CHAIR

[azurelunatic]

I, uh.

It's used.
One armrest is cracked.
It's dusty and slightly all spiders Georg.
We're not entirely sure if the second charger works.
I may need to attach bondage straps to my floofier skirts.
I don't yet know what my range is.
I'm not sure exactly how to take the left side out of gear.

I have a power chair.
It's parked outside under cover.

This is going to make a hell of a lot of difference to what I can do Out and About.

You know, when we're all vaccinated and it's safe for people to mingle again.

WHOOOOP!!!!

[azurelunatic]

I already ran down to the park and back without making too much of a dent in the battery.

Congradulations!

[frobisherw]

YAY!!!

[rebelsheart]

Hope is a spark to light the fire that becomes the beacon.

[lilysea]

Oh, YAY! ^_^

[althea_valara]

Oh, awesome!

[krait]

Whoooo! Congrats on your newfound power (chair)!

Also good luck figuring out gears. Hopefully this is a skill you have more of than me, because I've had the same bike for 12 years and I still haven't quite figured out how the gearshift thingy works. Admittedly, it was inaccessible for about five of those years, but still. Bikes are the standard cliche for unforgettable skills, so odds are good I never really learned!

I might be sad if it doesn't end up being named Georg. :D

It's just two levers on this thing, making it pushable or not pushable on each side, but one of them is not behaving the way it did when we loaded it in the car. I'll have to sit down with the manual.

Congrats!

[pauamma]

W00t!

I SPUN AROUND IN CIRCLES AND DID THE BALLET TRICK

also I have:
* taken a slope at not a 90° angle
* driven up a graveled hill, at an incorrect angle (hey, it wasn't an incorrect angle if I got up it, right?)
* driven up hills while being fat
* tried to go through a too narrow area
* consequently gotten stuck in the grass
* got my skirts muddied
* possibly fucked up the left freewheel control

Sounds like a great first day.

I've switched from broomstick-style skirts to pencil skirts. If you have a floofy skirt, good to gather a lot of it in your lap and plop something on top to prevent Isadora-Duncan-form tragedy.

OMG CONGRATS ON CHAIR. What are you going to call them?

[azurelunatic]

I'm not sure! My usual default is a bad pun on the name of the hardware. This is a Shoprider 6runner.

YAY CHAIR

[cesy]

Yay!

[stultiloquentia]

NICE.

[jenett]

Yay chair!

[redsixwing]

Chair! \o/

Congratulations!

[sraun]

Mega Dancing Rodents!

[azurelunatic]

So big they could be ride-on, right? ^_^

[snippy]

How wonderful! Last summer when I gave in and rented one at the zoo I realized I'd waited far too long to admit I could use the help.

[jesse_the_k]

My assistive technology standard is: always use more than you absolutely need.

[azurelunatic]

So you're not playing constant catch-up.

[asciident]

YAY!

[ephemera]

Congratulations!

[kellan_the_tabby]

WOO HOO

[archangelbeth]

Belated yay, and I hope that it serves you well!

[azurelunatic]

It's lovely to just be able to run down to the park whenever I feel like it. (Which is a maximum of once a day, under the circumstances.)

[archangelbeth]

AMEN. (Dadgum pandemic...)
