Oh come on Linda, all you need is a large parking lot or open field, and a
pair of the helmets with the wireless walky talky set up. Or at least that
is my plan for myself to be able to drive a jet ski or snow mobile, hmm...or
maybe a motorcycle.

Joyce, you are such an inspiration. I love hearing you describe the things
you do and how you do them. You make me know I can do anything I decide to
do - of course I won't break the law and drive my motorcycle any longer
though..haha Lynda
