Tracey and I are going to load up and drive to Freeport this morning to get her #Piaggio scooter to the repair shop. I figure the sooner we get it out of sight the sooner she will start feeling better. I was beginning to think we were going to have to just go out behind the shed and shoot it to put it out of its misery the scooter I mean. But I guess we should take it in and see if it can be fixed.

We made it back from our trip to Freeport at about 2:00 this afternoon and took a short nap. Both of us were tired and cramped from a day of driving back roads. The #Piaggio repair guy said parts usually only take a couple weeks so maybe she can have her scooter back up and running by next month. She is still unhappy but is beginning to get in better spirits. She also is a little sore in the back and shoulders from lifting the scooter improperly after she dumped it. She was just so mad at the time she didnt think about lifting with her legs instead of her back and arms.
