Technically it's *my* four wheeler; at least it was prescribed for me,
but by the time I was well enough to buy it, I needed it only as
exercise equipment.  When I loaded it into the car after delivery, I
was keenly aware that I wouldn't be able to do that if I needed it.

Dave bought a three-wheeler that's light enough to go into the trunk
easily, and we don't even have to fold it.  It's also much more
maneuverable indoors than the four wheeler.  I had going to the fair
in mind when I selected the second-largest wheels for mine, and I did
use it for A Taste of Ag once.  Worked very well for standing in line.

Vista is shut down, but 11 is still on a high table in front of a low
chair.  And tomorrow we have appointments with our case manager in the
morning and our home helper in the afternoon.  I don't think either of
them is trained in computer moving.

Bedtime came before I could send.  The computer is now in my room, but
we forgot to switch the portable monitor for my monitors today.
Awkward to read Usenet on a horizontal monitor; "zoom" puts what I
zommed for off the bottom of the screen.  

The resident engineer can't quite grasp that verical monitors are
better for some tasks and horizontal are essential for others, so that
liking one monitor doesn't mean that I have no use for any other.  I
was attached to a wide vertical monitor for a test, but it was
detached before I could discover whether I could run horizontal tasks
in a window.

I knew I couldn't untangle the Banner before the end of the month, but
now I find that I can't untangle Thunderbird to tell people it's going
to be late.  People worry when elderly relatives don't report in.

I get to go for a bike ride tomorrow!  I'm going to a grocery four
whole miles away.  Weather Underground says that it's going to be warm
enough that it's possible to get wet.

Bed time -- sent without editing.
