15 seconds into Watching the MacGyver Intro and Inventing, reality set in.

As everybody knows, my ex wrecked her scooter, bought a Can-Am Spyder trike, and died when she wrecked it.

The lady I am dating fell on her electric scooter on Friday and I got in my white 160 HP Camry to rescue her--drive her to an emergency dentist, urgent care, and then to a pharmacy just before closing.

I helped her take care of more stuff that night and the next morning, after sleeping fitfully on my emergency bed-in-a-bag.

Once again I am looking into man-sized cots, wondering when I would ever use it.

When I drove down to visit my ex I slept on an air mattress that wasn't comfortable without a 2" mattress topper.

This is a 4" mattress topper, so if I replace it with a 2" pad and an inflatable mattress, I am invincible?! :P

Anyway, she messaged me "I have a little while to figure something out. As long as my hand can't lift the scooter up and down the stairs it's not going anywhere." I immediately started playing this: and found this: Make.com: "Swiveling Balcony Hoist,"

However, there might as well have ben a record scratch as I immediately asked "Wait wait wait, can you ride with one hand?"
