My class 3 scooter is nearly 10 times heavier, as is my powerchair. My boot scooter is not quite twice as heavy, but does break down into pieces.

Good morning, Chris. That's crazy heavy equipment but I bet you won't tip over. 😊 My scooter is 55 kg, and comes apart into 4 pieces. It's the only device I have that can carry anything. So I love it for shopping and bombing around the city centre. I have two walkers. One is very sturdy, made of steel, and is about 8 kg. The other is carbon fiber and weighs about 5 kg. Each one has a purpose, and I feel very fortunate to have so many options. (Of course I would feel even more fortunate if I could walk LOL!)

Flying saucer @StarryEyed! Not quite, alien maybe!…

It's a Diatom (1250x magnification) that I found in an old mop bucket goo which I keep in a Petri dish on my hobby room window sill…

That's so cool! Awesome! I missed the fine print that showed the magnification. I've always wanted to do microscope photography. What equipment do you use?
Have you seen the spectacular National Geographic series "One Strange Rock?" They talk about diatoms, and they're really quite remarkable, showing strength in numbers 😊

@Chris75_ I forgot I've also got a pushable manual wheelchair but haven't used it yet. It's in case I can't go somewhere on my own, for someone to push me.

Another puzzle I'm trying to solve, in the second picture is how far I can get, just two pieces need to be swapped with each other, but when I swap them it causes another two pieces to then be swapped, and so on, so I can never get it fully solved, I'll have to look for a solution online.

You must have a byACRE Ultralight rollator? I have the slightly heavier Overland, which i used to walk Gus, up until a couple of years ago. I now use it to get out of bed.

I couldn't even get one face of a standard Rubik's cube. 🐒

I have had a soft drink in the Famous Star Hotel.… 🍹 It found its fame as the World’s Narrowest Hotel as mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records - At only 20ft wide and 162ft long, The Famous Star Hotel is in Moffat, Scotland. Very quaint, the bar was excellent, but not many could stand at it.....

I used to be the same, it's like I have one drink and the party has only just begun, there's no way I just want to stop there, doing so would ruin my mood.

Yes, that is me, I can control it at times, but I decided to have a soft drink that day.

You're right! I looked yours up. It's just gorgeous. I can't go far on a walker because it hurts my feet, back and shoulders. So it's just for short distances. It's ideal for taking the bus because it's so light and compact, so I can sit on practically any seat on the bus (not just disabled), and it's easy to get on and off the bus. It's also great to pop into a car. If I could go longer, I'd definitely be interested in your walker. I still haven't figured out how to get into nature. It's heartbreaking to see their video of your walker, going out and about in nature. So you don't use your walker outdoors anymore?

Not any more! Only my class 3 scooter and boot scooter go outside. On for dog walk, the other for going along the street to get my prescription etc, class 3 too big to fit in shops.

Are you able to drive a car? Are you able to get out to nature? I've been really thinking about getting my driver's licence even though I mentioned it as just a pie in the sky earlier in this thread. I think it's exactly what I need especially now with my immobility. So I'm dreaming now of that.

I can drive a car with an automatic transmission, no problem at all. I just couldn't afford to buy or run one, not along with maining 2 scooters and a powerchair.
I don't need a car, and hardly used the last on. Everything i need is locally available.
Nature is here btw, lol.
