Even right after surgery, the driveway needed plowing so I just put my coat on and went to work.

What was I plowing? Snow, of course!

I bet medicare will buy that thing for all us OLDER shutins.Looks like a good business to get into. Only $3500 for the basic model and $500 for heated grips. The special duty model has ski's instead of wheels but you must have 25 hours of instruction before operating. Hard hat, knee pads, and goggles are extra.

Nice to see you up and about so quickly! So, is there a reason you cannot sit on the quad? Roid-ectomy perhaps?
 
Well, it may sound strange, but I did get on the quad! I even plowed one of my wife's walking paths (about 1/2 mile). If you heard some strange sounds yesterday, that, no doubt, was my wife welcoming me back into the house... She was not happy.
 
Sav, if you can put chains on that smokin needs your service this weekend.

Good one :lol:
Now you hook that to a "hoveround" with chains, you could get after it.
 
Holy cow it's good to know that you can get up, do things, throw a leg over the quad etc so soon after a replacement.
 
Dennis please be careful. The first few months are critical to rehab. It's pay me now by going by the book or suffering later because you didn't. One slip on the ice means an ambulance ride to the ED. It's not pretty. Be safe.

HAHA! Nice!
 
Dennis your looking much quicker! May just be the aerodynamic helmet?

Glad you're on the mend!
 
by the look of the picture you should be done by spring thaw

bet the wife doesnt let you out again anytime soon
 
Hope you continue to recover well!

And I hope we continue to get some melting! Bring on spring!

Hey, I could do the snow plowing for Jay and his crew! It is a long ride down there though.

Hook a little trailer behind it and where off to the races......
 
No Dave. She tries to hold me down but sometimes one just has to get out. Right now I just came in from plowing some more snow and this time she did not complain. I think we're making progress.
