Problems with scooters

This second scooter we bought (the blue one) has been nothing but problems since we got it. When we first got it, it had a scratch on one side of the left fender. The odometer did not work. The front brakes didn't work. We finally got the brakes fixed. The company sent us a new odometer, which I replaced. Once I got it in, I realized the speedometer only showed kilometers per hour, and no miles per hour. The odometer worked, though. I called scooter domain, and they said the replacement speedometers they received from china all had kilometer and no miles per hour. Figures. Made in China. They are going to try and find a local replacement for me. Probably take a month or so. In the meantime, we have been waiting for another scooter to get here, which we ordered July 10Th. I found out today, they had no more blue ones, so, that's why we haven't got it yet. All they had is red. Dawna said Red is OK with her! It will be shipped tomorrow. Amazing! All we had to do was specify any other color, and it would be here now. They should have called us, and told us they had no blue, but, they didn't.

Anyhow, how about those Pirates? They swept Houston after being swept by Colorado. What a strange season it has been for them. They now play San Diego for the next 4 games. San Diego has the worst record in baseball. I sure hope we sweep them. We are winning 2-0 right now in the 3rd inning, so I am going to watch them win. See you all later!

Happy Birthday, Mindie!

Today was Mindie's 29Th Birthday. This is her, in the nurse's uniform. Doesn't she look like her mother? We took her out to dinner at Perkins. Had a nice time. Then, Dawna and I went for a ride on our scooters out to my sister Paula's in Kennard. While we were there, my mother called. They were on their way home from Pittsburgh, bringing my Dad home from the hospital. Wanted us to meet them at their house in Jamestown to help get Dad in the house. We got there 5 minutes after they did, and he was already in the house, checking emails on his computer. That's my dad! He probably should have been in bed, after the long ride home, but, he wanted to see how many emails he had. He had 169! That should keep him busy for awhile!

Dawna sang at the Nazarene church this afternoon for a kids picnic they had today. Was very nice, but, we had to dodge the raindrops. They had another Southern Gospel band too, and they were very enjoyable to listen too. Was a very productive day. Oh, and the Pirates lost again! They are starting their second half collapse again. Seems like every year after the all star break, they lose a bunch of games in a row. Its a 4 and counting now. Time to trade some players!
