[QUAD-L] the bionic man

[Oconnelldb]

I drove my van for the 1st time today.  I had a transfer seat, hand controls, and door opener installed.  The xfr seat is a bit awkward to use but the other stuff is way cool.  It goes up/down, back/fwd, and turns up to 90 degrees.  Sliding over and back is a pain but my driving will be the exception anyway.  I don't mind being chauffeured.  There are 4 magnetic switches in my tail light housing to operate the door and lift.   Up, Down, Stow, and Close.   A battery is now much more critical to my survival - oh joy.  More mechanical crap that can kill me.  Stranded in a dark van in June, July, or August in Phoenix is no place to be.  I'll be keepiong my cell phone very handy from now on.
