We had a fantastic weekend for weather.

Yesterday I mounted the fire extinguisher. This is under the passenger seat. From the driver's seat I can reach down, and pull it out in a second.



It is a extended time version, and all the reviews I have seen say it will put out a fire, and not leave any bad residue to clean up.

It was a real challenge to get the screws in place for the bracket. The screws themselves are below the curve of the bracket, so a socket does not work. I used a set punch to make a small dent to start the drill and make the hole. There is nothing behind that part of the seat mount. The bottom nut was a total pain to get tightened. I had to use a little tiny open end wrench I have to tighten the top one. The bottom one was tedious and took forever turning it 1/16th a turn at a time. It is secure, and not going anywhere, and it does not rattle.

You can tell I am not a councours weenie, the tracks under the seat are dusty!
