OMG!! My car stereo/navigation unit died! It's so UNFAIR! How will I get to my pilates class without soothing music-to-drive-by? How will I find my around without my GPS!?!
OH, THE HUMANITY!
Yeah, my damn Kenwood took a dump and went casters up. And of course, the replacement unit has a different connector, so I yanked everything out of the dash the other day, and took my custom wiring harness down to the basement, cut it apart, and I'm busy getting the harness for the new radio integrated into my existing harness. The reason it's a little more complicated than just swapping out the radio is that I have a little iDatalink Maestro unit between the radio and the vehicle wiring harness. The little box lets me use my steering wheel controls to run the radio so I don't have to reach over and tap the screen icons to do things like change the volume, or tune to a different station.
My wife keeps telling me how well I'm taking these little setbacks, like having to fix the car, the mis-steps and side tracks of getting a 'permanent' antenna up, and a host of other things.
All I have to do is look at her, the house, the neighborhood, and the dog, and realize how blessed we are to live here, and I just smile.
"First World Problems", indeed.....

What a wonderful attitude to have!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
It's only been in the last year, Ed. Now that were far away from the Lost Angeleez rat race, I'm much more relaxed. I think living in that population density affects people. I felt trapped, while other people get confrontational or violent.
