Sent an email to the bus company (or actually the city of Fresno since they run it) so i'll see what happens. Found a walker in the mop closet while getting the apartment ready for the bug man, so I used that to get around. Very slow, but better than being stranded. Still want my power chair fixed though. Other than that, was a good day.

Hank, that is pretty good considering the high miles.

Scott, so what 4x4 did you get?

Have not heard from the FAX (Fresno Area Express) people yet, but I talked to my case manager at the VA and he is going to try and get me $150 to cover the repair of my power chair.

That looks to be in great condition. Maybe you should swap yours for his? Just kidding, I know you like yours too much to do that. It is good he got a Ford though.

Sounds like a plan to me Scott. Since you paid for both of them, I say you get to choose which one you drive.
