Yesterday was a horrible day. I went to my monthly ALS meeting which went well. When we got home, I went right on the ramp on the van by accident and my PWC got stuck between the van and the ramp. I would have gone flying off it if I did not have my seatbelt on. My husband got my manual...

I almost took the transfer board out of the van the last time I cleaned it, as we have moved on to transfers only with the lift.
I'm glad I didn't, because today I found a new use.
One of our few local restaurants has all gravel parking, but in the handicap area there is a concrete pad over...
