Good car news. The short probably isn't in the radio; it's probably in the cigarette lighter, which I forgot to mention was also on the same fuse that kept blowing. In fact the mechanic said there's a good chance it isn't even the cigarette lighter, but the iPod charger I had plugged into it. He said it happens all the time with cell phone chargers. Even if it is the lighter itself, that's not difficult to replace. So either way I'll have the car back today, and have music again.
I have to admit I was a bit worried about this one, just because electrical problems in a car can be so ... problematic. Expensive and difficult to fix. But the mechanic sounded confident that it will be an easy fix. whew!
Things were a bit chaotic here this morning. First we took Jane with us to drive Georg to work, so she'd have some alone time with us, and then the downpour really opened up just as we got home and Jane wouldn't get out of the car. I got drenched trying to coax, pull, shove her out. Then there was a barking incident so we're back to the tether. Everyone is calm now though. The rain has stopped and Jane is sitting in her favorite spot on the porch, rather than hiding out in the backyard. The beasties are sleeping blissfully. They really are adorable.
