When we get power back on, I'll do something on my home-page to show my setup. All I did recently was replace the dead battery. The settlement of the estate allowed me to replace old batteries. ;)

I'll even include pictures. I'm good at that.

Looking forward to it. Computer back up is still one my list. When I had a home office, I had a leased computer that had an automatic battery back up under the desk top CPU. We were only allowed to use the company computers if we were working from home, so that’s why I leased it.

I do have a lap top that I keep charged and can use that for some of my records and spread sheets. Bills, budgeting, medical info etc. and the all important play a DVD Movie. LOL

When the battery gets low, I have to quit till the electricity goes back on - then we have to talk, play cards or build a fire and toast marshmallows.

greeneyes, Johnny didn't say how he got that battery replaced and what else happened that day.

This happened a little over a week ago. We went to his house, and took him to the VA clinic. He had paperwork to do there to get an ID card. We sat in the waiting room for a while, until his number came up and he got that done plus a doctor visit scheduled.

Actually, I should report on how we are seated in the car when we go some place with Johnny. I am demoted to the back seat and Bob and Johnny are in the front seat. The rule is, I keep my mouth shut about driving, and only speak when Johnny turns his head toward the back and says something to me. They normally made fun of me about something/anything, and that destroys my weak ego - sure, it does.

So, after VA visit, we go to a battery store and Johnny buys a new heavy battery and small rechargeable batteries.

After that, it's hit Taco Bell for take home food. We eat at Johnny's house.

All this time for these hours, Johnny is walking and up and down in chairs, going here and going there, using his own power, no wheelchair. That is the important part of telling what we did.

It is a pleasure for us to be part of his life and it is never dull - we have a blast together.
