Default the worst happened

Went to turkey hunt this am..got to blind was setting out decoy and wheelchair didn't work OMG!!!
Called Gail (wife) (luckily switched to Verison and had signal...(exactly why I didn't want that at&t %^0* when altell went to at&t....%^0* coverage here.....why I switched)

Long story short...got wheelchair to wheelchair fixer place...he said probably wire connections
(guess invacare has problems with connections of motors to main harness)

Anyways I left a right and left motor in case one is bad (bought spares on ebay as they are kinda hard to find and new ones are big bucks...like $800 and then wait a long time)

Told him to check batteries as they are 3 yrs old...he will put in new ( he siad like $225 each x 2 ) if they aren't up to snuff!


Anyways it sucks when the most important thing in my life quits...but it's to be fixed maybe by this afternoon....hope so I got hunting to do!!!!!!!

I know what your talking about!!! Last June while fishing NY for the first week of bass season my chair broke..the left motor quit on me and I was doing "left circles" for an hour. I had my push chair for a back-up but was still a pain...

I hope everything works out as well, that could be an expensive fix! I had my van fail on me one morning, such a pita. Nothing I despise more than something I depend on, not working when I need it to.
