Subject: $$$$$ specialty items
Thanx Dana Wal-Mart now that�s a store a quad or any chair user can shop without 2 much worry of $$$$$ compared 2 what we�d pay 4 similar item from a specialty vendor. :) I got bike tires on my manual chair from bikeshop... They wanted 3�1/2X from the vendor I explained I was paying out of pocket & not insurance they did go down to 2-1/2X they know they got us at their mercy. It�s like a drug dealer once he�s got U hooked. Like the leg bag drainer can be made for $30.00 from a hardware store probably $300.00 from a vendor check the cost let me know. I�m sorry heres the link now its $1999.00http://www.JB-3.com/ see the mark-up

A couple of months ago I saw some really neat ponchos on a couple of gals.
I think they were more for rain, but that day was a horrid one for
weather--cold, wet, windy you name it.
These ponchos were of heavy plastic, longer in front, fit nicely over the
shoulders and even had a hood. They were long enough in the back to cover
bulky clothes and keep the top of the chair dry. It almost looked like it
was double layered in the back--one that fit closer and one to cover the
entire area. Like a western --don't know what they are called but I'm
almost possitive it was 'not' poncho, a kind of overcoat. Anyway I asked
where they got them and they said Walmart! Do not know what department tho,
but I would almost tend to say sporting goods? They had neat colors too.
One gal had a purple the other a fire engine yellow. Both these gals were
in electric w/c with bulky coats and layers of clothes. Plus they were big
themselves. I had not seen anything like them before, and of course have
not looked yet. They are probably seasonal, but I thought they would be
well worth the money! Just my 2 cents worth.
I don't know how you guys(a general word for everyone) make it during the
cold weather. If my driving arm gets cold, it shuts down. Can't even keep
my elbow on the armrest. My son had to drive me home a couple of blocks one
cold night. I went from outside, to a cold church basement, to back
outside. In half a block I could not drive. But what I find interesting,
is the split second I get in a warm place, my arm is fine. No sitting in
front of a heater or anything--just being 'in' the warm building is all that
I need. I really look up to you that challenge the weather and get it done!
More power to you and hang in there!
