Seats Filth and TVs

Today I went to the bus to work on removing seats.  I had originally wanted to fire the generator and use my small air compressor to pull mounting bolts and actually break the seats loose from the bus.  My son Andrew called me and informed me he was stranded with the golf cart so I had to rescue him with the battery I was going to start the generator with.  So much for my first plan.  When I finally got to the bus I attempted to remove more of the caps covering the mounting bolts on the feet of the seat sets.


Most of the screws that hold the caps in place are old and corroded and were giving me fits. I decided to focus my efforts in removing seat cushions to allow access to the rail bolts along the side of the seats and bus.  After discovering I had three different types of seats in the bus. One lone replacement seat set, two reversible seats and the rest fixed and of one final style.  I discovered Humans in general are filthy disgusting things. The trash Left behind from years of traveling in the bus are disgusting at the best.
 
 
These last two pictures are from behind the last triple seat in the back of the bus next to the Lav.
 

After recovering from some of the disgust I decided to attack the entertainment system in the bus. I expected to remove the boxes from the overhead and pull little 12" TVs out of them but on dis assembly I found "Custom TV Building at work"


They actually took the time and effort to disassemble two TVs and put the pieces in a plywood cabinet wrapped with vinel and hard wire the antenna and power to the box.
