     I live out in pretty rough rural area and the reason my ramp is so 
steep is because the house is on a hill with several others that lead up 
to it. I have had Ray take my tri-cart down for his dad to ride it up 
the ramp with a near disaster, his dad just can't get the hang of 
running it. His dad also refuses to try and do anything about his own 
condition. Ray's mom and I have been on him and at him for over a year 
about it. He just says he's old and he'd rather fall down and die than 
loose his independence by being"disAbled". So with out him trying harder 
to wear better shoes or to try and use my tri-cart there isn't much we 
can do. I suggest that Ray could push him up the ramp in my old manual 
but he won't sit in a wheelchair. I am thankful though he doesn't hold 
the fact that I'm in one against me.
