Thursday, Feb. 11, 2021 – Truck Radio Fixed At Last!

Hi Darlin’,
Another extra warm day today, we’re really having a heat wave, every day in the low 80’s, not bad! I decided today I was going to take the next logical step in the pursuit of fixing my sound system in the truck, and did what I SHOULD have done from the beginning, and test the speakers directly. I took off both door panels and took out the working speaker and plugged it into the left, non-working side, and surprise, surprise, I had sound! So all this money and time I’ve spent over the last few weeks, getting a new radio and wiring harness and all that, totally unnecessary. I guess that’s what I get for listening to my brother’s diagnosis. 😉 I went into town and picked up a couple of speakers at Walmart (plus a stop at the post office to send out some additional paperwork the new owners of my old trailer needed to get it registered), and by the end of the day, I had the new speakers put in, and even took the one working front speaker and put it in the rear left door because I discovered that one wasn’t working either. I probably should have changed them all out, but I’m not really the audiophile I used to be, so this is good enough. A lot of wasted time and money, but at least the job is done. Now I can finally put all the tools away and clean out the inside of the truck, just in time since other people will have to drive me for awhile after my knee surgery. The doctors are saying it will be at least two weeks before I can drive since it’s my right knee, but we’ll see. I’m planning on stocking up on everything so I can keep those shopping trips down to a minimum so I don’t have to rely on anyone else any more than is absolutely necessary. I have to check with my insurance company and find out about transportation to the PT sessions, which are supposed to be 2 or 3 times a week, if there’s a service I can take, or reimbursement for Uber or something. I’ll figure something out, you know I always do! Managed to get the horses done, a bit late but just before the mosquitoes came out. Jeff’s been home working on the Dodge, he did a major overhaul, with new injectors and a new fuel pump. It wasn’t sounding too good in the afternoon, but he finally got it going, and it does sound a lot better. Finally settled down for the evening, ready for shower and bed. Good night, babe! Love you!
