Something for those long trips behind the keyboard

I needed a new chair for using the computer, but I wasn't prepaired to pay a couple of hundred dollars for one.

So I found a broken one out for the kerb side cleanup, removed the damaged seat & bolted a Recaro that I had sitting around not being used onto the base.

Super comfortable, cost me nothing & only took about an hour from go to whoa!

If only the other jobs around the house (& the Land Rovers) where that easy.

Excellent.

Now I need a base to repair my chair that has broken a leg. I'll have to keep an eye out on the street, too.

But they don't make one as comfortable as a Recaro!

Although I'm relaxed in the chair, it hasn't improved my writing skills.
