Got an email while I was at work - it was from the 'radio' place, and it said my radio unit was done and 'in transit', and came with a tracking number. I looked it up & it said that it would be delivered by the end of the day! Was pretty excited & wanted to leave right away, but had to finish the day out.
Got home & didn't see it on the front stoop and was disappointed, but I figured there were still a couple hours left. When I headed into the house though, I found it inside the back gate! I didn't even bother to change clothes, just dropped my stuff off inside, took it out of the package & went out to install it, which went really quickly. Powered the car on and...
...
Worked like a charm! (Had you going for a second, didn't I?) ;-)
I spent some time making adjustments to several settings & figuring out what menu was where, along with setting up a few favorite radio station buttons. Got out to disconnect the charger & discovered that the insulation on the main wire, right behind the plug for the 120v outlet, was so bad it literally crumbled away when I moved it. As I don't have the 240v wired up yet, I decided to take it down to the old electrical shop where I had my cabinet stereo repaired. The owner wasn't in, unfortunately, but his helper took my name & number & said I'd get a call at some point to discuss it. He didn't think replacing the plug would cost more than $25 or so, which is fine with me.
Anyway, one of the 1st things I'll need to do tomorrow (after coffee, of course!) is to buy the supplies I need to install the heavy-duty charger. After that, I think I'll go for a drive somewhere! I'm pretty excited to be able to drive it now! What I need to do next is get the truck cleaned/detailed, then put it up for sale.
I'll be able to relax once that's gone & I can put some money back in the bank.
