Well.    We bought a van today.    We won't have possession of it for at least a week and a half, but it is in the works to have the conversions done.

Nik from A & J Conversions came by today with a van that had the newer model seat installed in it so that Dick could try it.   As I told you the older model chair left him with his knees up against the dash.   This is SO much better.   He has a good distance for stretching and comfort.   I also practiced putting the wheel chair on the lift and putting it in the back for transport.    It all worked well, so we were able to tell Mark at Van Horn that the purchase of the Chrysler Van is ON!   So I signed the final papers.

Now,  Nik has to order one part for the installation.   Then Van Horn will take the van to A & J for the conversion and it will be delivered to us ready to go with two different people giving us instructions as to how everything works.    We pretty well have had the chair and lift explained and a car is a car, but this van has tons of bells and whistles that Mark will have to review with me.

That is enough excitement.   I have started cleaning out and rearranging the garage.    The van fits just fine but we need to arrange things so that Dick and get himself backed up next to the seat when it comes out to pick him up.

I started that and am really tired.   I am doing it in fits and starts because of the heat.
