I like your attitude! Everyone has challenges in their life, some more than others.

This website, and people like you are an inspiration to me. My mom only has one eye (actually two, its just that one is plastic), she is over 70, and she still has a job.

I recently saw a mini-truck with a swivelling 12v mini-crane next to the cab drivers door. When I stopped next to him at a red light, I saw that the crane deployed a wheelchair that was in the bed, and he had hand controls for the accelerator and brake.

I recall an Army vet who purchased an older Honda 750 with a rare 2-speed automatic transmission. He attached a custom sidecar with fold-down ramp that he could roll his wheel-chair into.

I got a welder from a garage sale a year ago, but it's taken till NOW for me to get off my LAZY butt and make the adapter cord so it will plug into the dryer socket. I guess I have no more excuses!
