I got a little time this afternoon to drill some holes and tap for screws, and the result is a side mirror that I can actually use:
It’s about freakin time. The whole setup is really set up for a more upright window pillar, so the final angle I wound up with pointed the mirror outboard and upwards. I wrapped the end in a rag and bent it with a pair of channel locks, and wound up with something useable. While I was at the hardware store I added one of those little rounded puck mirrors for blind spots.
Update: Here’s a shot from the driver’s seat.

We’re back from a great couple of days at Chincoteague National Seashore, where the weather was a perfect sunny 80°, the water was calm, and the beaches were relatively quiet.
Finn, as usual, had a fantastic time digging in the sand, running through the surf, making friends, and flying our new kite.
Finn played hard each day, but wasn’t able to nap at the beach. Too much to do, too much to see.
We were all sad to leave, but Friday was the last clear sunny day in the forecast. Our timing was perfect.
