I just realized that my 6 mile trip was one way and then I had somebody pick me up at the mall later in the evening. It is just too hot most of the year in Florida to make that trip very often. However, when my chair was quite a bit faster, I could make the trip in one hour. I figured my chair was driving over 7 mph since I was being held up by traffic, traffic lights, and some degraded sidewalks. Now I'm probably be lucky if my chair does 5 1/2 mph. I guess I can't complain about an 11-year-old chair still operating that well. If only the new Peachtree system is as good as the old one, I would get a new chair right away. . Quadius

Awesome! How long did it take you? Dan At 07:06 PM 4/3/2007 -0700, Greg said something that elicited my response: I decided to go on a long drive today, to see how far I could go. They have a trail system though our city and neighboring cities they are just fixing up. It used to be mostly a farming area in the desert, so it has lots of canals. They paved a 10 foot wide path along 1 side for jogging, bikes, etc. Dirt on the other side for horses. It starts by my house and I followed it for 14 miles through 2 cities. I could have gone further, but it crossed over railroad tracks. I might have been ok in going over them, but it was in a quiet location and I did not want to get stuck. There was about a 3 inch gap between the edge and the rails& With a low drained battery, I did not want to risk it. It s a fun trail, the canal is maybe 20 feet wide and has lots of fish in it. Many kinds, the grass carp are 3 feet long. The trail connects a bunch of town parks, so I took my time and checked out the parks as I went through. Though some of the trail is just threw commercial development areas. After I was done, I didn t want to risk the drive back, so I had called home to get picked up. That s the furthest I ve ever driven, 15 miles by the time I was finished. My chair has a mileage count on the LCD panel. Greg
