Captain Chairs

If I'm to stay with the theme, then this should be titled "musical captain chairs." This was one of the first things to change after the initial trip to the salvage yard. SBF took Sister Van's captain chairs and put them in the from in place of CWV's captain chairs. Apparently Sister Van's are more comfortable and they have armrests. They are also covered in fabric and need a good bath. CWV's chairs are covered in vinyl and look a little worn, but otherwise they are mostly the same. CWV's chairs will be bolted into the back for Thing 1 and Thing 2 to ride in comfort and safety, replacing the need for any and all rows of benches.

CWV's captain chairs.

A captain chair taken from Sister Van and bolted into CWV. I'll get better pictures of these, but you get the idea. We now have 4 captain chairs and we are very happy about that!

junk yard trip #1

Tuesday night SBF went to a junk yard after seeing an ad on Craigslist for a similar van with big front SEATS for sale! WHAT?! He took the seats out -- the plan is to remove the benches from the CWV and put in two more normal seats so we can all ride in style and comfort and SAFETY. He also scored an owner's manual and a big ol' hitch that he is going to bolt onto the back. We need the hitch for the bikes, of course. This was on the priority list so it's a super sweet find. I wish I could have gone to document ... next time!
