What will you do with your helmet,.....plant some herbs in it?

OK,.....well, then,...may I suggest these aids to aging?.........
The first one will help you find the bathroom better when your eyesight begins to fail, as well as knowing what you will be falling back into when you lose your balance.
The second one is for those days when you are feeling much better and are getting around a bit faster but don't want to get bugs in your false teeth, or in your glass eye! Just don't scare the little old ladies too often blasting that electric horn! (Psssst! You could easily hide quite a bit of booze in that false radiator, too!)
The third one, if built correctly, will hold a LOT of beer in each arm! Rocking will get easier as you deplete the amount in each tank. Just don't rock too hard with a full tank or you may go over backwards! They also have a grip-handle on top of each tank, too! Nice touch!

I copied that pic of the old man with the walker with all of the lights and mirrors, and we posted it on the wall of Cindy's dad's room. He loved it so much, so I took his walker and added eight mirrors and four lights. He was the hit of the retirement home! Got a few requests from sons of other tenants to build more. Just not my thing!
I am seriously considering building a couple of the rockers for Cindy and I for the front porch, though.

Sorry, Mike! Can't order any of these! Gotta build 'em!
