We’ve got a BRAND NEW CAR! Actually, a van. A white 2004 Ford E350 12 Passenger Econo Van, to be exact. Just look how nice and clean it is. The purchase of this van now enables OAR Northwest to tow the boat, carry lots of cargo and people, and use the van as a portable educational platform.
Otto, OAR Northwest’s Executive Director, along with Jordan, picked up the van in Ellensburg last week. Huge shout out to Kelleher Motor Company for making a mult-point inspection of her! With a through cleaning inside and out, a wax, and a touch of WD-40, this van’s going to be sparkling. The plan is to wrap the van in a nice OAR Northwest design. Maybe something a little bit like below.
We’ve been using the vehicle already, transporting the boat to Garfield High in Seattle for the Seattle Public School Symposium.
As with any vehicle around the Puget Sound region with it’s flocks of Seagulls and Pigeons, my major annoyance is bird poop. Anybody who knows me understands that birds and I DON’T see eye to eye. You clean the car, and the birds target the car. And they’re loud about it too, as they watch me throw my hands up in despair, taunting me with they’re incessant “cooos”, “squawks”, and “MINE!” sounds. I wash and wax my own car quite regularly, so I know by experience it’s a never ending battle. I’m thinking about installing an anti-pigeon car system on the van. That’s it for my random musing of the day. Anyone else have any suggestions how to deal with my…little annoyances?
KIDS…THIS PIGEON IS NOT REAL.
