Boy that was dumb of me. I just got my own post and looked at it again, only
to find that Phil did what I had suggested already. SO, I go out to look now
to avoid looking like a total idiot!
I'm back. Phil, slide the seat as far back as it will go while facing
forward (like you're driving) then rotate the seat 180� That'll do it.
