GoFundMe Fundraiser

 Many of my followers may not know about me being Wheelchair bound. Then again, I have made a post a few years ago stating I was in a wheelchair or maybe about my accident.

I don't generally ask for handouts; I try to help others as much as possible and expect nothing in return. I just enjoy being that Kindhearted man that helps out someone that may be in need.

My Son's Wife's Parents has set up a GoFundMe Fundraiser to help come up with Funds to get me and my wife (also in a wheelchair) a new van because our handicapped van needs a new transmission, Needs new fuel pump, New tank Straps, a Muffler, New Motor for the Door that opens up to lower the ramp and many other things on it that needs fixed/repaired that we are unable to do so because of funds.

So My son's In-laws has a family member that is getting rid of a Handicapped van that will suite our needs, but unfortunately, we lack the funds to purchase the van.

So here's the deal. IF you can donate, PLEASE do so. If you can NOT or DON'T want to donate, I'm ok with that as well, But Please Share, it cost nothing but time and a few clicks to share.

This like here --> GoFundMe

Will open up in a NEW Window once clicked. it'll take you to the GoFundMe Page where you Share and/or Donate.

I hope that either or is done but not a requirement as I don't expect anything from my followers!

Have a Great day!

P.S. This is my Son helping me into the Van because the Button is broken to open the door on the passenger side.

I HATE Cold Weather

Have I mentioned that I DO NOT Like Cold weather? Well I do. For 1, I have rotory cuff damage in my right shoulder and starting to get it in my left.  All the Perks of being in a wheelchair.  The ups and downs of medical problems on the constant uprise.

So my joints are ALWAYS hurting. Can't get a good night sleep, always up and down. But the MAIN Reason I DO NOT Like the Cold weather is it's hard for me to get around being in a wheelchair.

The snow, I get stuck in, I can't shouvle very well on the ramp, deck and sidewalk so it limits my ability to go anywhere during the colder months expecially when it snows.

I also can not get out in my workshop to do some work, for anyone interested, I have a Blog and a Facebook page here.  Blog ==> Handi's Workshop and Handi's Workshop Official Facebook Page.

This is where I document my Projects and all when I have time to do them. So come take a gander at what I do.

Air in There!

I have just got my tire fixed. What a Relief and a load off my mind.

It becomes Frustrating when you can't move around that much or get where you need to get.

I had to change out a tube from one of my other chairs that has the same Size tires. unfortunately, my Tubes are not standard size as the standard wheelchair tire. Standard Tire is 24x1 3/4.

My Tires are 24x1 and Hold 110psi of Air, Racing Tires basically.

Anyway, I put one tube in, and it was previously patched and apparently still had holes or slow leak in the tube and didn't know that until the next day when it was flat again.

So I had to take it out again, and change it with the other tube on the other side, so far so good, it's holding up pretty well, at least until I can get my vendor to get me some more in case this happens again!

Once I got my tube in, I had to trot out to the Garage where I have my heavy Duty Air Compressor to air up my tire, that was a Job in it's self, just because I had to be careful on the road not to damage my rim and damage my tube I just replaced.

Flat Tire!

Hello everyone,

Not that this may be of interest to anyone's everyday Life, but unfortunately it's relevant to my Everyday life, just because I have to deal with mobility issues, especially when My wheelchair has Air Filled Tires.

I don't know how it happen, but I ended up with a Staple in my Wheelchair tire last night, I figured that if it was left alone, It would still hold a little air til I was able to fix it.

Well unfortunately, I was wrong, it works in cars, but not wheelchairs I guess. So I pulled off my Wheel, Took the tire and inter tube, Then I yanked the Staple out of course, that way I could find where the staple was puncturing my tube at.

And unfortunately I only had Adhesive Patches, don't know if anyone has used them, but they SUCK really bad, I've not gotten around to Airing my Tire up yet, cause the ole lady just went out the door to grab a little food for the house, and with 5 dogs and a 8 year old, you can't leave them in the house alone, so I guess that means another few minutes that I've got to sit here with no movement.
